jimpy66 0 Posted February 3, 2011 When I turn on ignition (but dont start car) I can hear a fairly loud pump churning away in engine bay. I'm guessing its the fuel pump- but its blooming noisy, sounds as if it is churning some air as well as fuel- anyone got any ideas as to whether its just on way out or can I do anything to help it?

Dan_Storm 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Sounds like it could be the auxiliary water pump? Can you place what part of the engine bay the noise is coming from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimpy66 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Ah- didn't know there was one- the sound comes from the back right side of engine- seem likely? It does sound like water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Storm 0 Posted February 4, 2011 Yep, thats where the pump is located. I have circled it below. I think they do generally make a bit of noise. If you do a search there is probably a way of testing the pump, but if it is making a racket then it sound like it may have had it. dscf0093.jpg[/attachment:1ult1yob] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
