Hello everyone,I need some advise on how my intank fuel pump on my 2001 Freelander1 TD4 is behaving lately please.
A while back coming out of the supermarket, turned the ignition and the starter turned the engine normally but wouldn't start.Opened the bonnet and tapped both the pump and the fuel filter next to it also tapped the fuel tank from underneath while my wife turned the ignition and to our relief it started and continued home.The next day I've changed the fuel filter thinking some crap might have blocked the system.
Since then I had no problems with starting the car but i am hearing the intank fuel pump keeps going for a few seconds ( whirrring sound ) after switching the engine ignition off.Is it possible that the pump's strainer and power connector need cleaning and would solve the whirring :doh:after switching the engine off or shall I go for changing the pump which at the moment I'm not quite comfortable doing so money wise.As I said at the moment I don't have problems starting.It;s just that whirring that's worrying me.
I searched threads about this but couldn't find the cause.So please can you give me some advise.Very much appreciated.
