High Pitched Whine

Post by lushman » Mon Jun 15, 2009 9:56 pm

Folks, Can anyone diognose my issue. On Saturday I changed my air and pollen filter as I knew both where in need of a change. Since then I have noticed a whine coming from the middle underneath the car. To me it sounds like a fuel pump whine when low on fuel but plenty in there. The fuel pump was changed by Grizz in April. Its noticable when the radio is off and sitting stationary or when you get out of the car and walk round it from passenger side back. Initially I thought it was coming from the Miltek but doesnt add up.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Problem solved!
Firstly it was a fuel filter Grizz changed and after a brief discussion with him diagnosed the whine to the fuel pump. He told me where it is in the car so had a look about at buying one. Not cheap! Now the whine has stopped and no more noise, so happy for the meantime.
