Unusual problem

Featured Replies

Basically when I turn ignition of my fabia vrs just before starting the car

I get a short crunching sound coming from behind dash

If anyone could help tht would be great

Thnx

Is it more of a squelching than a crunching that's just the diesel pump in the tank priming so don't worry

Fuel pump and lines. Every Fabia does it.

Cheers guys. Have only had the car a week and it was worrying me lol

It's a crunching tho not a squelching

I'd say it's the abs setting itself up.

Fuel pump and lines. Every Fabia does it.

What he said. :thumbup:

Is very loud on mine.

Is the fuel pump behind the dash??

Thought it was under the rear seats somewhere?

I get that sound, I traced it to under the gear stick handbrake area?

As long as everyone else gets it I'm not worried

Definitely coming from behind dash area tho

If its crunching it may need a new fuel filter as the diesel pump primes when ignition is activated as they ^ have said :)

Go out and record the sound. Wanna hear it now.

I don't no how I could post a recording on here as I use my iPhone and features are limited on this site

Might pop it into the local vag specialist

An have realised it only crunches when cold. If I turn ignition when car is warm there is no noise
