| 'squirting' noise when i turn ingition on when i first turn on the ignition i get a 'squirting' noise coming from the rear of the car somewhere, it lasts about 1 second, then is quiet, so its obviously the fuel going through the pump (or filter?) this only happed when the tank dropped below about 1/4 full. Filled up yesterday and no noise again. Anybody know whats happening (i have a good idea, just not SURE), is this common, or a fault? |

| Re: 'squirting' noise when i turn ingition on I get it on my Fabia Vrs as well, it is a re assuring sound, as I think, " Well the car seems to be ok "

| Re: 'squirting' noise when i turn ingition on It's a much nicer sound than the fuel pump in our rally car which sounds like there is a machine gun in the boot.

| Re: 'squirting' noise when i turn ingition on Thanks everyone, out of curiosity why does it only do it with 1/4 tank or less of fuel? I thought it was down to gravity - less fuel in tank and the fuel drains back, more fuel in tank & it keeps the pump full?? Quote:
