so for a whle ive been hearing this odd noise coming from 5 and not recently did i realize whatarea of the car its coming from. its kind of a high pitched, whiny kind of noise that wavers while the car is running, whether in park or driving. its coming somewhere by the rear wheels and seems to be more prominent on the passenger side of the car, any ideas as what it may be?

 

coming from 5? are you on crack? dafuq?

 

ha sorry, my g5

 

probably your fuel pump

 

is there a prob with it maybe, or just being noisy?

 

how many miles?

 

Yea I second that mine was whining I replaced it with a walbro

 

lookin at going on 68000

 

could be your fuel pump. that's the only thing i can think of that would whine back there

 

any sign besides the noise that could help?

 

sluggish acceleration. your fuel pump is the only electrical thing back there that can whine. if it was anything else, it would just creek like suspension does because htat's all that's back there

 

ah.. fuel economy may be poor too im guessing?

 

probably. have you replaced your fuel filter?

 

i got a recall in the mail a few months ago to have some hose fixed on the car coming off the fuel pump. Says poor performance and fuel could leak if not fixed.

 

was thinking it was getting close to that time. yeah my fuel economy isnt what it used to be when i got the car at 31000.

what year is yours?
