Fuel pump on the way out...? Does it sound louder if you take the rear seat base up?

Never heard a fuel pump hiss! Probably an exhaust leak if it starts with the engine.

Are you hearing it when you're inside and outside of the car?

[LLcoolK]

inside the car, its really getting on my nerves now!!

Well no, but it's kindof a hissy whiney noise, no? I'm rubbish at describing noises anyway!

[Brianmoooore]

Hissy whiny noise sounds like the diff, but that won't start until you're moving.

True... I've had both, so my lack of skill at describing a noise is probably compounded by not actually remembering what a noisy fuel pump sounds like!

I'm fairly sure I know what the answer's gonna be, but do any of the snake-oil type things actually work on noisy (input shaft bearing I expect?) diffs? & can you use em with LSDs?

Speaking of snakes, maybe you have a dehydrated Boa-Constrictor trapped under the back seat...

Sounds like you need to tune your radio
