Get an oral syringe. Much easier than trying to pour.

Hi, everyone. I was about to get the pump on Rev 2. But seems it's even worse? So how many of you have chirp again with the latest pump? Need you information. Thank you !!!

I have an AT and yes, it had chirping from about 2,500 miles. I got the latest pump revision installed a few weeks ago and they haven't returned yet.

Hi, friend. How is your new pump doing now? Any chirping so far?

JSMIL · 01-10-2014, 05:17 PM

I have the new pump and it does chirp softly once in a while, but not nearly as bad as my last one. I just moved to Florida too so it is not because it is cold.

Got the newest pump installed last monday. 300+ miles on it so far and not a squeak yet. So far so good, hopefully it stays gone

I have no chirping so far, but it has been cold and I haven't given the ol girl a workout in a while.

Thank you. Good luck with the pump. Hope it can be quiet forever.
I am getting the new pump tomorrow anyway. I've been running with E free gas for more than 3000 miles. The car has been quiet ever since. But the gas is not cheap, $4.3 and every time I need to try 20 miles to get it. So, I wanna give the new pump a try. fingers crossed.

I have a 2014 BRZ just realized I have crickets as of this morning...

I don't know if its been stated within the 164 pages of posts but from a neighbor he said that the chirp is from the quality of your fuel. any fuel containing ethanol will cause the engine to chirp. If you can get your hands on some non ethanol fuel and continue to run that through your engine eventually the chirp will go away.

I think this may be a case, I really only noticed it today after filling up my tank last night at a 7-11 Gas Station.

Going to the dealership today for my 15k maintenance. I'm still on original fuel pump from Mid 2013 model. Hopefully I can get the newest fix and say good bye to the crickets for good!

ericmpena · 01-17-2014, 03:04 PM

At dealership now and they're of course saying the chirp is normal and does not need to be attended to. How can I tell if my VIN was made before the TSB?
TSB: JF1ZNAA1#E#702951

Didn't post my VIN cause I'm not sure if that's safe to post or not. Lol.

EDIT: My 10th letter is a D which indicates 2013, and the TSB addressed everything before 2014, so I'm in the clear. Gonna have to slap them with the TSB.

Don't put up with that. Give them the TSB and turn on the car so they hear the annoying sound. The new part is just insulated though so it's not a true fix and it's on back order. Been waiting 3+ weeks for mine.

I'm very interested in hearing what they'll do about all this. Nice to see this post lives on...
