Georgie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sorry I'm not to sure if this is in the right section I didn't know where it would need to go lol. So anyway i noticed this sound yesterday coming from which sounds like the inside of the car. Its everytime the car is in a high gear at low revs, when you put your foot down it sounds abit like a fan belt screeching quietly but then stops after the car has hit boost. The only thing I can think of is that it may be the fuel pump as I have stripped out interior I can hear it right behind my seat, I got the other half to drive it while I clambered into the back it sounds like it's coming from that area but it's not very loud, sounds like its underneath sort of thing. I did have a walbro pump fail on me couple months ago after having it installed for literally 11 months, now I've got another walbro, just wondering if it's failing again?

Steve GT Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 walbro's whine like hell there very loud. as youve got back seats in it will cushion the sound a lot but i had a walbro with a stripped out rear and it was very loud. is that your noise? like a high pitched whining? if so thats normal and totally fine lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Would say it was the Walbro to be honest, did the other one make the same noise when it failed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 no the other one made an EXTREMEMLY loud noise like really really loud lol sounded like it was going to explode and it gradually got worse and worse, I've only had this one on for about 3 frigging months!

bucketep91 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 they will be louder as your going slow when you pick up speed theres less friction so wouldnt be as loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
