Fuel Pump

I'm new here so sorry if it's been covered before

The fuel pump is buzzing on tickover is it knackered (mk1 golf GTI)

Thanks
Gary

nah, turn your stereo up

Can buzz for years not a sign of definite failure .

ok cool thanks

but could be an indicator of a rusty filler neck or dirty tank.

hope not

Well worth checking the condition of the fuel pump basket, brackets and rubber mountings. The pump basket is suspended by the rubber mounts to stop the pump vibrating against the car. The basket, mounts etc rot and break over time and often the pump ends up being lashed into place with cable ties and vibrating against the chassis leg. Mine was like this, so much quieter now properly mounted.

Cheers
