whining fuel pump.

[Janner_Sy]

i have noticed a whine coming from the area from under the rear seats. im presuming its the fuel pump. is this normal.

never noticed it before. I have once in the past had a fault logged on the car saying something along the lines fthe LP pump not giving enough fuel, but it never happened again.

anyone any ideas on if it would be expensive and a big job to replace.

Hmm - I had a recall on the LP, but can't say I noiced a sound.

what year is your car tony(yours is a k03 as well isnt it),  mine is an early 57reg.

Had a fault code a month back about the pump but we cleared it and nothing came back from it.

when was the recall?

[tony_danza]

Late '06 - will have a look for the code tmrw.

[Janner_Sy]

much appreciated mate. you have any idea on how much it would have cost. might replace it anyway for peace of mind.

[tony_danza]

Not a clue, it was an outstanding recall but oddly VW hadn't bothered to tell me - found out when it was in the dealers.

Yours might have one too?

[Janner_Sy]

it might well do actually. I exported my vRS out of the country two days after buying it so i could get the tax off of it. might have to ask about it.
