Default Electrical problem when switching ignition ON

When I turn the ignition ON without starting the engine I get this fast click-click relay going on and off (Like a turning signal but faster) coming from the fuse panel area. From the outside of the car I can hear the fuel pump going ON and OFF at the same rate. The car runs fine but takes longer crank than before to start. Anybody had this problem? I´m out of warranty so I would like to avoid the dealer. Which one is the fuel pump relay?
Thanks

It might depend on your engine, but for the 1.8T, the fuel pump relay is in position 6 of the relay panel. It might have J17 on it.
