Maybe it was just one bad part or something. Ir always thought Uro parts were pretty good. I've put a Uro fan clutch and a Uro antenna on my 90' 420sel and they seem to be pretty quality parts.

URO stuff isn't good, Gerryvz will pop in soon to inundate you with links to their epic fails.
I like some people will use URO stuff on stuff I deem to be of little importance, however a fuel pump relay... grab a used OEM one at the wrecking yard for under $5.

Relays typically are very dependable - last forever. Basically check the voltage to the coil and/or the car voltage. If it is 12-14 volts, then the relay should work forever. If the voltage is say 20 volts, then that could burn out the relay coil.
Like a light bulb which has too much power applied - it will burn out. Anyway other than that, I have been buying a LOT of crap lately (stuff for around the home). Does not work out of the box, not designed exactly right, or stops working within a month. This stuff is made in China.

Uro parts are junk.
The only place I'd use a Uro part would be something cosmetic that is easily changed, like the roof antenna tip or gasket on the W210. Any part that is critical or takes a decent amount of time? If you GAVE me the Uro part, it would go in the trash can and I'd buy a part I could trust. But if I had to choose, I'd probably go with an unbranded part off of ebay before I'd buy Uro. Serious junk.

Like my friends' latest album. At $9 it's going to last lots longer than the Uro relay.

In this case relay is a bit of a simple term. The fuel pump relay has more than just a coil in it. It also has RPM sensing capability and I think provides power to a few other items. (maybe)

Unfortunately, I didn't know about URO reputation two weeks ago when I replaced both flex discs an my 300SD. the front disc lasted a week. what's weird is it didn't shred like the one I took off. it sheared at the yokes and actually damaged them. I've already ordered a new driveshaft and am looking to order a high quality flex disc, and a yoke for the transmission.
