Where is the Starter Relay on a Volkswagen Jetta MK6?

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Fuse box

In this video, we see how to locate a very important component on the Volkswagen Jetta. In this case, it is the 2.0 petrol version, but we believe this detail does not significantly affect the location of this relay. The starter relay is located in the fuse box situated inside the cabin, at the lower part of the dashboard, between the steering wheel and the driver's door. Behind a plastic panel, you will find a compartment where the fuses and some relays are stored. The one dedicated to the starter is the one pointed out by our YouTuber, and it is the first on the left from the top.
