Is it a Pierberg (original) pump or a cheap aftermarket one?
If it is dying, at some point it will fail and the car won't start, if/when that happens give the pump a sharp tap and it will start working again. Replace a.s.a.p after that, don't be tempted by the cheap versions, they are noisy from the start, provide lower pressure than the Pierberg and don't last long.Also check your intank pump is working.
