Hey guys I have 594 miles on it and had that chirping, I was told the noise was normal, by a sales associate , dumb me lol, but good thing my gut kept bugging me and I called corporate.Corporate, I assume, talked to them, made me make an appointment, I left it there and told me that they did hear the high pitch noise and will fix it, he said they had a new fuel pump and stuff in the system and it will be ordered, so looks like scion is going to fix it!! If you are getting what you feel are bullshitty responses from the dealer, call toyota, just go to toyota.com and call them, Ill just put the number, 800-331-4331. They were really helpful, just go ahead and explain what is up with your car, i mean they helped me! and looking at earlier posts from a few days ago, looks like scion is going to fix it anyway!! Good Luck everyone!!

I might need that number, going to take my FR-S in on tuesday to get the process started... Drives me nuts. Just checked my VIN, im #02078... I always ride with my windows down and no music, except with my wife. Hear it loud and clear.

I want a TSB from Subaru

First generation cars tend to have some teething issues, and Scion‘s latest baby, the FR-S is not without it’s quirks. Owners of the FR-S can breathe a little easier thanks to a new technical service bulletin (TSB) that resolves an annoying noise emitted by the car.

The bulletin states, “some vehicles may exhibit a high pitch chirp or squeak noise from the high pressure fuel pump assembly when the engine is fully warmed up and idling.” The issue apparently affects any FR-S with a VIN# ending in 09026 or lower. Newer vehicles are not affected.

The bulletin explains that technicians should warm up the car for ten minutes and see if the car exhibits the chirping or squeaking noises. If it does, then the vehicles high pressure fuel pump assembly will be removed and replaced.

However, the replacement high pressure fuel assembly has the same parts number as the old one. It’s not quite clear what is wrong with the original installation of the high pressure fuel pump, but apparently this should fix the noise that owners are reporting.

There’s no news yet on Subaru releasing a similar TSB for the BRZ, or if the issue is affecting international Toyota GT 86s.

My car is around 400+ miles atm, and I just noticed the cricket sound today when I got home from school and parked in the garage. I contacted my dealer and he said the sounds were normal. Not sure if I should rely on his answer.

Hi there,

Here's the TSB for Scion. Don't know if Subaru has issued one as of the moment.

I thought there wasn't one out for the BRZ yet, only the FRS. Unless I'm wrong, could you link me to it?
