hi

been going over the car to check for any faults,

and i noticed that when the engine is running the fuel pump is constantly buzzing away

why would it be doing this?

could this be effecting my performance?

cheers

Is there plenty of fuel in the tank? Mine is audiable when i let the fuel in the tank get really low.
Also i seem to remeber you saying this problem came about after the fuel filter was changed. Could the filter have been replaced with an incorrect part?

yea i have about half a tank in at the moment,

im pretty sure the fuel filter was spot on, i watched my mate fit it and it was identical to the one that came off

any other suggestions?

Hmmm, half a tank is plenty in mine. Mine does it when the fuel light has been on for a few miles.

Other than that, im not sure.

Could it be that the fuel pump is working ?

When the engine is on the fuel pump should run continuously. That is perfectly normal.
