The insecure socket was easy to pull out on its wires so I did that and removed the relay. Car didn't start.
Put it back and it started fine. 
Standard 4-pin relay, part number is indeed 431951253H, type 204 40A.
And with the socket pulled out for easier access I can bypass it without too much contortion. I'll probably buy a spare from my local VW dealer anyway, it seems to be a pretty cheap item.
