Hey all,
Sometimes in the morning when I switch on the ignition of my car I heard a weird sound, sound like its from the back.
I think its the petrol pupm because its got the same sound as those external holly pumps..
Any ideas?
Petrol pump??
My Walbro does that. a hum from the back of the car
yip, but it sounds sick, like its running dry.
i dont remember the standard pump making any noise.
could be an airlock in the pump...
a friends golfie had that with its high pressure external pump - sounded totally wack!!!
ok, so what do i do?
find the problem, and then fix it!
I know that! How do i get rid of the airlock if there is one....
What if your pump alow the feul to flo back over night and have to work a bit harder in the mornings and then causes accesive noise?(want hys in sy moer)
could be, mayb its just time for a petrol pump upgrade.
not a bad idea walbro 255 about R1100 and easy to install
Come pop in at my house i'll have a listen! I had that on my golf. You will be able to hear from the noise it makes what the problem is!
I replaced mine with a BOSCH okie. Works well. Just as good and paid R800-00 bucks I think, from our drifter Charel.
VDO also make a range of pumps at reasonable prices that are internal too.
so it'll be an upgrade, but basically a replacement for your old pump.
look into that too!
what kind of noise. Mine has been making a humm ever since i got it, if you listen carefully. Sounds normal to me, then again i dont know any beter
the noise i was talking about was very loud, at the rear of the car!
its like a small squirrel being sucked into a turbo kind of sound...
kinda like when the turbo start F__king out!!!
its like a small squirrel being sucked into a turbo kind of sound...
it is very late at night and that is the funniest thing i have read today :!:
OMG VC what do you do in your spare time? Make mince meat for the week by feeding squirrels into your turbo?
no man...
but thats what one of my turbos started sounding like after a years worth of 0.9 bar abuse on the drift track.
that sucker used to glow bright red after a few laps, and eventually the bushes and seals started giving in, and when the blades started clipping the housings - the sound was exactly like that!!!
well it was the best way i could describe it anyway!
LOL.
Ha ha nah its fine man...we all have ways of explaining something in a funny way!
When my fuel pump on the golf were starving I also said it sound like a squirrel with on speed chowing on iron nuts.
gggggrrrrrrrrr
