Loud high pitched noise near back drivers wheel on vp????

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 01:52 PM

I have an average to loud high pitched noise sounds like its near my back drivers wheel or just behind it???? Any ideas what it could be? This is all when the car is parked and not moving???

a burn out?

**markER717** · 26-10-2009, 02:35 PM

If its a squeal its probably a bearing. I think there about 15ish bucks from memory, It was a while ago I was looking to buy some so I could be wrong.

OP, is it constant? does it happen stationary or only at speed? checked brakes and handbrake?

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 02:37 PM

I like your thinking Zuicider but i think thats a noise that i am only too familiar with and its not that one this time......Its funny because the noise is there weather the car is in park or drive????

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 02:39 PM

powerslave...its when its stationary.

**Zuicider** · 26-10-2009, 02:41 PM

sound like suspension?

**pow3rslave** · 26-10-2009, 02:44 PM

stationary only from the rear drivers side? it could be the fuel pump or a line, but i've never heard of them making a noise like this

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 02:46 PM

No its like an air leak kind of whistle (high pitched if you know what i mean)but the tyres are all fine and exhaust seams ok the car is not moving and i can walk around the car and the noise is located roughly insidethe wheel arch or perhaps a little further under the car.Kind of sounds a bit like a pump noise maybe but whats back that way that could be doing that?

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 02:50 PM

As soon as i turn the key its there.Even before the car fires properly i can hear it.

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 02:58 PM

Hey guys its only there on petrol so the fuel pump or line might be right.If i replace the fuel pump and its still there then what can i do with the lines?

**thedeadwalk** · 26-10-2009, 03:07 PM

my 2 cents is it's all in your head man
or some one's left a mobile phone with one of those shit ring tones man

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 03:17 PM

I wish that were the case but its not just me its my mates and a bloke across the road who reckons its probably the fuel pump as it only happens on petrol.

**pow3rslave** · 26-10-2009, 03:46 PM

has this only started since you put the new petrol filter in?

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 03:54 PM

I have not replaced anything to do with fuel....its the first time since i purchased the car that i have left it to run on fuel for a while and the noise was there from starting it up this morning.Took it for a spin and came back,the noise is still there and annoying me so i will fit a new fuel pump and filter and see if it goes away.Whats a good fuel pump mate?V6 of course.

fuel pump bro, when they start dieing they make some pretty funky noises

, either replace it or drive it till its dead, the worst that could happen is ya car will stop, unless you gots dual fuel

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 04:09 PM

How easy is it to do on the vp?

**Dum*P*ster** · 26-10-2009, 05:14 PM

If its not a Burn Out.. lol I'd say its your Fuel Pump or Wheel bering ;p

**Dum*P*ster** · 26-10-2009, 05:15 PM

For fuel pump im sure you gotta drop the Fuel Tank (?)

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 07:01 PM

That sucks because now i have to do burnouts until i run it out of fuel(lol).Then i can replace my tyres and the fuel pump.

did you fix it yet?...another possible is a blocked breather pipe from the tank or an incorrectly fitted one....fuel comes out air cant get back in vacuum is created and youd get a squeal as it tries to suck air back in.....when it does it again take off the fuel cap and see if it stops....

**Timsgmh** · 26-10-2009, 09:49 PM

I will try it tomorrow morning and let you guys know what happens...cheers for the help so far.

100% it's the fuel pump from the description the OP has given. No other theory stands

because most of the suggestions here were from people who hadn't actually read the conditions of the problem. The noise won't still be there when the pump has been changed. Not as badly anyway - they do all whine to some extent, it's not meant to be loud though.

It won't be a blocked breather if it starts the instant the pump is priming.

Probably not a bad idea to replace all your breather lines while you have the tank down. Allow a Saturday to get it all sorted out if you don't know what you're doing.
