Hi Guys,

I may be paranoid and the little voices in my head getting too loud
but it sounds to me as if the sound/noise/pitch of the fuel pump on
my wasserboxer has changed in the last month or so....kinda deeper
and a little louder,or so it seems.

There's nothing wrong with the way it is performing but it is the
original pump in the van and now,approaching 10 years old and with
233,000kms of fuel delivery behind it I was wondering...well I guess
I'm soliciting comments really from those of you who have had a pump
fail...did you notice a change in the pump sound either when the
ignition key is first turned or when travelling along?

An archive search produced a sh*t load of info on pumps in general,
but not with reagrd to my particular question.
So if anybody is willing to share their experiences on what warning
signs they observed prior to failure,I'd be most grateful...:)

If I do have some early signs,I'd like to be ready...

Cheers,
Steve O
