Range Rover L322 Fuel Pump Issues
Discussion
Hi Folks
I have a 2003 L322 with a petrol 4.4 v8. Last year the fuel pump packed in with no warning (it's done 160k so I thought that was quite reasonable!)
I replaced it & the fuel filter (brand new ones) and within a few weeks the new pump was starting to make a whining noise which got louder over the following weeks. With this kind of noise usually being a symptom of the pump about to fail I thought I'd just got unlucky with a bad pump. The supplier replaced the pump without any problems and once the replacement was fitted it was fine for a couple of weeks then the whine is back louder than ever! It's louder than the engine & the air suspension pump combined!
The pump wasn't the most expensive available at £100 so am I just buying a crap part or would there be something else causing them to whine?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated
Cheers
James
