nelsonian101 Donating Members 961 Member For: 16y 8m 13d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/10/13 06:35 AM Share Posted 21/10/13 06:35 AM Recently my twin 044's have become noisier than usual, at even at idle.This used to happen in summer when I ran a 98 tune but it is also occurring now on E70 and E85 even when the engine and fuel/pumps are cold.Do these pumps have a limited life span or could it be the rubber mounts?Most of the time my daily driven car is run on EflexGuessing I've done around 80,000kms with these fuel pumps.

That saidmine still sounds like a swarm of bees when the fuel gets hot..No issues with fuel delivery on the dyno , but will probably replace anyway.Sorry not much help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably wont make much difference lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
