Sorry for a late reply on my end here.
My car is a 1.6L 2000year 306 (I guess that makes it a phase 3). I'm not sure how to get more details than that
Sorry, what do you mean by "pump is on the way out"? That it is failing?
Apart from the noise from the pump, I haven't really noticed any other symptoms that I think is relevant. Another problem with the car is that sometimes after I've driven the car for a while and stop the engine, it has a hard time starting the engine. It spends like 30 seconds to "trying to start" before it actually starts. Then, the idle RPM goes up (more than normal) for a couple of seconds before it stabilizes. I'll try to make a video of this. But I guess that is probably caused by something else? Or could it be because the pump fails to provide enough fuel for the engine (but then why after I've been driving for a while)?
I'm not going to try to get it done this weekend, after all.
Thanks you so much for helping me out, really appreciate it!

a) more confident the pump is on the way out
b) have a better idea of the correct part you need if it is failing
c) have more time to understand what you need to do.
If you're not sure when the fuel filter was last replaced then do that too or get your mechanic to do it. Should only be a 15 min job for them, incl getting it on & off the ramp.
