Re: Fuel Pump

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <werikson@hampshire.edu>]

?? The fuel pumps in all of my VW's (not Audis, I know, but Bosch pumps)
have buzzed loudly for tens of thousands of miles. My QSW's pump has been
LOUD ever since I've had the car. Fuel pump wise, the last 20K miles have
been trouble-free. I usually think that when the noise starts wavering,
THEN it's time to worry. But I've seen many a loud, buzzy fuel pump run for
years without trouble. Maybe Audis are really different, but isn't my QSW
pump just like a 4KQ?
