just noticed last night that my fuel pump hisses after i turn the engine off, i have the autotech fuel pump. ive read on another forum that its normal due to the friction boiling the gas?! :confused: and is normal.
anybody shed any light?? :smiley:
oh and the car is running absolutly fine, pulling harder than ever! :smiley:
-
Might just be the pressure dropping back to ambient after the car has stopped as its a pressurised system when running?
-
i think what i really want to know is if anybody elses does it.
-
nobody???? :confused:
-
Not noticed mine doing it, I still have the standard pump right now.

have you not swapped the internals over yet??
-
Not yet mate no!

Check for a snake under your bonnet... :laugh:
Oh, and no, mine doesn't hiss.
I wonder if your HPFP ring seal could be starting to leak as your upgrade re-uses the old pump ring.

Who fitted it ? How loud is it ?

PG will this be a stock item as i remember the TT shop popping out for one when you got yours fitted. :smiley:
-
They just got a correct sized O ring from the local motor factors, but you maybe lucky and the VW dealer will have the official one in stock.
Anyone this is Joe we are talking about, I am sure he will have some old rizla papers that would do the job just fine :laugh: :laugh:
