Hi everyone, quick FYI: as of March 2018, URO discontinued its second-generation DME relay and released a completely-redesigned third-gen unit. The new relay utilizes strong through-hole component mounting using Surface Mount Technology (SMT) "pick-and-place" robotics in a clean room environment for consistent assembly quality, along with modern modular-design mechanical relays for long-term reliability.
Here's what Rennlist forum member "steeley90" posted about our new relay on 3/13/2018, after not having much luck with other relays:
"The {URO} parts arrived at my work and I swiftly made my way to the car park to try one out. I wish I had a dash cam that had captured my face when the car started first time with the new relay installed. I'm absolutely ecstatic. I cannot value these new relays high enough. I've tried every other option of relay including Porsche OEM and none worked. It's still a luxury for me to get in the car and not have to pop the bonnet. One I'm sure I won't get tired of for a long time. Thanks ever so much to the guys at URO, you've made this 944 owner the happiest guy!"
Pelican hasn't updated the product photo, but they offer the new relay here:
