fuel pump question

[braker15]

hey, guys i just put in my new fuel pump car runs now, got "ripped off" at the stealer for $262. Now i can hear the fuel pump run, its pretty noisy is that normal? Also do i need to get a new filter? thnaks.

Yes. If you're changing the fuel pump, also change out the filter. What you're hearing is the strain of the fuel pump due to a clogged filter. If the filter is not changed, you will burn out the fuel pump and have to replace it again. Get this done ASAP!

I just ordered one from here. Price includes entire fuel pump assembly and filter and free shipping. Ive ordered from them often when i had my Acura integra.

make sure you order the correct pump. FWD and Quattro pumps are DIFFERENT!!!

Hey OP did u change out ur filter and it is still making noise? How many miles are u?

Mine started after 60k and it was the fuel filter. That is COMMON on here with our cars. Usually the fuel pump just cuts out or u might get a code but for the most part a noisy pump is the fuel filter.

Mine was good... still is good till I traded up at 110k. So u might have some life left in it still.

106k
i did change filter last week, but noise didnt go out, i took out back seat to see whats going on so its fuel pump making that noise.
but i dont want to spend 70 bucks more for nothing :)

Guys I have the same problem on mine it's the whirling sound/vibration underneath the passenger rear seat...does it make sense to go with a high performance fuel pump instead? They seem to be cheaper?
