Engine chirp experience with Subaru

Engine developed chirp, no surprise there...

Fuel pump replaced (the service department said they hadn't ever heard of the issue) and the noise was gone.... for about a month, then it come back with a vengeance , much louder and happening a lot sooner after startup.

After quite a bit of back and forth between myself and the dealer and then escalating to Subaru Australia (who also said that they had not heard of the issue) for various issues I was having with the dealership, the service department.

Finally the dealership was approved by Subaru Australia to investigate issue and they found that there is some sort of cap that is mounted in to the pipe leading from the fuel line to the fuel pump itself and the cap was moving up and down, they found score/wear marks from the cap moving up and down. They have replaced the pipe and the noise has gone away.

It has only been a week so I am not being overly convinced just yet but the noise has gone and they did not replace the fuel pump.

Anyone else had this fix applied and it failed?
