What Causes the Abnormal Noise in Volkswagen Fuel Pump?
1 Answers
Volkswagen fuel pump abnormal noise may be caused by insufficient fuel in the tank or long-term non-replacement of the fuel filter. Below is a detailed analysis of the reasons: Insufficient fuel in the tank: When the fuel level warning light on the dashboard illuminates, there are approximately 7 liters of fuel remaining in the tank, and the fuel level is roughly at the red line shown in the figure. Due to the low fuel level, the fuel pump motor does not receive adequate cooling and lubrication, leading to overheating or even stalling. If the fuel pump frequently operates under such conditions, premature damage is inevitable. Long-term non-replacement of the fuel filter: If the fuel filter has not been replaced for a long time, the fuel supply system can become severely clogged, forcing the fuel pump to work harder and remain under high load for extended periods, ultimately causing damage to the fuel pump.
