Took apart a Volvo 850 fuel pump relay. Cracks everywhere.

I thought automotive was exempt - after all you wouldn't want the solder
falling off your FI relay half way through an overtake.


The Volvo fuel pump relay problem was widely known (amongst Volvo
owners) long before lead free solder was required.

Indeed. I have resoldered and brought back to life many of the white ones.
They were not RoHS, nevertheless the solder failed around relay armature
pins.
