Hi all,
As always grateful for any wisdom that you can share.
2002 cdt that I picked up as a stop gap in Feb and rather like, so I'm working through a list of jobs both sorting faults and also peace of mind type jobs as it is currently our main (but not only) car.
The car is running just fine and whilst not the quietest at idle etc has no issues apparent to me except I think the UBP may be a bit noisy...... a sort of humming noise. Putting my head under the bonnet it is less obvious, and I can only really hear a sewing machine like ticking noise. Definitely nothing from the fbh area.
I read on here that a noisy ubp is often the sign of a failed itp, so have tried listening through the filler cap (the tank was full) and I think I can hear a faint hum, but wasn't sure if it was the ubp noise resonating.
Last week the tank was very nearly empty with the amber low fuel warning light on and the car still running fine, is that a definitive sign that the itp is working?
How loud should the ubp be from within the car, both when priming and running?
I've ordered a new fuel filter as I realised I forgot to do that as part of the service, in case that is at all restrictive. Anything else to check?
Given the relatively low cost of a pump (£65 for a german made one from dmgrs) I'm tempted to do the ubp as a precaution, but am interested in your opinions pls?
