In regards to the "consequent fire" comment I made, it was not in reference, obviously, to the poor Lad who had his HPFP replaced and then caught fire due to questionable technician competence. Again if you had read carefully I posed the question "And could it not be an indicator of a future failure and consequent fire?" This was in reference to other cars with HPFP that have had failures and caught fire (VW, Audi). |
Interesting, they must have changed the wording since I last looked at it. I've been wrong before.
However, the Subaru one (as I have a BRZ, so that's what I've been looking at primarily)
located here makes no mention of abnormal. It even goes so far as to explicitly state (in bold, no less), that this isn't a detrimental noise.
Fair enough on the fire comment, and again my mistake. Was that really an issue on VW/Audi DI systems? I've heard plenty about their pumps being notoriously junk and failing to provide enough fuel leading to detonation and exploded motors, but hadn't heard about the fire thing.
