Introduce yourself section is up there ^^^^^^;)

Filter should be hot

what did strange noise sound like?
 
On a TD5 the fuel goes round and round, so although there's a fuel cooler in the engine bay, after a long run not only is the filter hot but the whole tank is too. There's a lot of stuff that can make funny noises. Pumps make a whole variety of sounds from a gentle hum to the sound of a cat being strangled. If you've recently changed the filter there may still be some air in there, so that'll add to the general racket - anything from gurgling to a high pressure raspberry blowing noise. They've all got personalities of their own. A change in noise can mean that a pump is wearing out or it may mean that it's just transitioning to another life phase. Mine started making a lot more noise in April so I've taken to carrying a spare on long trips just in case, but it's still going strong 4,000 miles later and the car is flying along.
 
Is the OP sure that it is a "strange" noise? it could be a Weird noise, in which case he/she (I don't know which cos they haven't introduced their sorry ass) should change the front offside ferckle filter ASAP.:rolleyes:

In which case it sounds like either the fuel filter or fuel pump gauze filter are blocked or the fuel pump is on the way out.

If it was gargling it usually indicates air in the fuel.
