Terri Eagle Member 16 Member For: 13y 29d Gender: Female Posted 18/02/13 09:27 PM Share Posted 18/02/13 09:27 PM I noticed it the other afternoon. I had about 60km of range left and at first I didn't realise the noise was coming from me. It was raining and there was a tonne of road noise where I work. Then I realised the gurgling was in fact coming from what appeared to be the back left of the car. I had to fill up before getting on the f3 and it disappeared. This morning I had about 40km left when I noticed the gurgling started up again. It last until the 20km range mark where I filled up. I threw in enough to take it to 150km range and it stopped. Fuel pump? I'm in the last year of the 3 year factory warranty so if it's on the way out I'd rather know now and have them fix it before it becomes my problem.

I first thought it was a suspension rattle and then an exhaust rattle, had both looked at and obviously nothing. After recently seeing someone's thread about how noisy their walbro intake is and that it was left rear I was able to find that's where my sound is coming from too and yeah only seems to be when fuel gets down a bit.Hopefully someone knows a bit about it and whether we should sorry or not!
