I have seen the fuel pumps become louder when they are no longer isolated on
the rubber mounts or if they start to touch something; the vibrations
transmitt much more readily.  Check the mounts and that the pump is secure
and not touching things that it should not be.

Hello,
I was wondering if the fuel pump starts to get noticeably loader, if
that means that it is on its last legs. I noticed the other day that it
seems about 20% louder then normal...It seems to have stayed at that
pitch. I have all the fuel filters, etc to replace (just haven't yet),
but I was wondering if the pump should be on my list also.
These seem to be almost 150.00.piece...Ouch. Do I need to replace
this, or is this just normal Audi Pump noises....Kind of a loud Buzz
noise. It was thier when I bought the car, but it is definetly louder
now (8 months later). I also have no idea on its age of the pump, the
car has only 67,000 miles on it...

Thanks for any ideas,
