How loud is your fuel pump?

[vr2jetta]

I have a 90 325i and the in tank pump is starting to whine really loud. It will be quiet, then drive it a little and it starts to whine real loud, it will quiet down a bit then be totally silent, then loud again, loud enough that I can hear it sitting at a stop light. Anyone have this happen before your pump took a shit on you?

yep your pump will die sometime soon, just replace that shit before it gets you stranded, unless you like that kind of shit

Mine is loud constantly, damn hope mines not about to die on me.

How long has it been that way?

Just about unnoticeable for mine ... I don't have stereo.

Mine is noticeably loud. I can hear it sitting still, and when sitting next to a car it, echoes off it.

Ive only had it for 2 weeks but the whole time. I need to ask my uncle if he ever noticed it, he has had it for the past 6 years.

clean or replace your tank or it'll just happen again

Mine is pretty loud. You can clearly hear it from inside at idle.

It still works fine, but I expect it to die eventually.

Same deal here. My fuel pump is loud enough to hear at idle but it is a steady sound and never gets louder or quieter that I can tell. My loud exhaust helps me to not notice it so much anymore!

At some point I'll replace it, hopefully that point is before it fails. :)
