GTI-6 acquired
#4
I can see the pics and the car looks good!

The in-tank fuel pump on the petrol models is the only source of pressure to the fuel rail so I guess has to work quite hard sometimes.  It's important not to run the tank low on fuel on a regular basis as the fuel keeps the pump cool and that extends its life.

Something that might make the pump work very hard and noisy is an old, partially clogged fuel filter.  I'm not sure where they sit on the diesels but on the XU petrols it sits just forward of the rear drivers side wheel.
