Audi A4 B5 signal relay
I do see that there are other friends but I'm not sure how this forum works. Some want you to post in the old one to avoid a new thread #2385, but others don't want you resurrecting year-old threads.
I drive a 2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro with a tip. My turn signals went bad. This happened to me last year as well. I used the infamous Youtube video to fix it and it worked fine. A month ago it happened again. I opened it back up to fix it again. I have the emergency flashers working now but with the turning signals the capacitor does a quick pop but no light and it does switch again after that first time.
Even the Youtube guy updated his video saying that eventually he just bought a new one because it kept going bad. I figure if I can't find one at a junk yard I might do the same thing. I saw on another post (I think it was this site), that there was a newer relay at 8D0-941-509-E-01C. This looks a lot different, including the rear. Here's a web page I found,
http://www.aboveallmotorwerks.com/De...order=0&page=4
On here, I see two (2) relays. The E 01C is the newer one, right? The original post I saw said that E 01C was the replacement, but I can't find a picture taken from the back of it. Those two big prongs look weird. The H 01C looks more like the one I need, but I wanted to be sure which one of the two I need. This is the only thing aside from windshield wipers that I've done myself on the car, so I want to make sure I'm doing this the right way.
Would be awesome if anyone could confirm which one I should, although from what I can tell it seems to obviously be the H 01C. Thanks for any help you can give.

Then eventually,it got worse and worse and just stopped working,altogether.

This would most likely,be your total with USP Ground shipping,there is faster shipping options but for a higher shipping price,of corse.
Your Hazard/relay switch for your 2000 Audi A4 1.8T Automatic,seems to be more expensive than my 2001 Audi A4 1.8T automatic,Hazard relay switch.
I have no clue why but you need to get it replaced,its dangerous to drive around,without blinkers.
I did a few times,while i waited for my switch to arrive and it wasn't very fun,cutting off every other driver and getting flipped the bird,each time, hoping a law enforcement officer,doesn't catch me switch lanes,without signaling.
Good luck with your relay replacing project. Here is the site to order the relay:

Thanks a lot, guys. Wanted to make sure I was looking at the right parts. I called a VW dealer and they referred me to a place about a half hour north. I went there to an Audi dealer and got it done. Thanks for the help.

Restoring turn signal flasher
In my case I found it useful to slightly bend the turn signal contact to restore flashing. I imagine that continued use can cause the metal to fatigue a bit and not close properly. Bending it back with two small screwdrivers seems to have done the trick. I've ordered a new switch/relay to replace this temporary fix.
