5100 miles on the car. took a road trip yesterday and now I hear the crickets for the first time. Pulled up to a drive through for some road food. Damn that noise is embarrasing. It almost sounds like a loose drive belt. .

After 6700 miles I can now report that I have an intermittant chirp from the hpfp. Looks like I'll be scheduling with my service department in the morning.
If anyone is curious I bought my car in late October of last year as a 2014 model, not sure if it has the newest pump or not from the factory. |

An interesting observation - I was desperate for a fuel top up so I went close by & put about 15L of Caltex 98 Octane fuel - 25 minutes later I pulled up into my garage & noticed the crickets ! The car had warmed up & when the idle dropped to normal the chirp/crickets chimmed in . . . . :/
It's running a mix of Caltex / Shell VPower atm, when it's all used up to the last drop I will re-fill with VPower as I usually do & see what happens, up until now the crickets never showed up on VPower. |

I was pulling into the garage at work this morning COMING from the dealer where I had some a window clunking sound successfully addressed ... when suddenly a wild cricket appears!
Thought maybe I dodged them. Coincidence that before the 20 mile drive to work I just filled up on my way in on 93 from Shell?

I have this problem and thought it was alternator bearings and had the alternator replaced under warranty
 Also noticed my Crank vibrates from side to side. Figured since its a boxer it might be normal. |

I had the crickets from 300 miles on. At 800 miles I put 3 oz of Lucas 2T 2-stroke oil in a full tank, crickets are gone. I am now running AMSoil 2 stroke oil and the crickets are yet again, completely gone. Not even a hint of noise.
I'll update if that changes but at an extra $2.00 per fuel fill-up, I'm satisfied. |

I've had the crickets since ~1500miles
Very annoying sound, but I see no point to schedule an appointment with my dealer since there is no permanent fix. Wonder what Toyota is doing?

Hess gas keeps them at bay. I've noticed the sound comes and goes. And realized when I fill up with Hess the sound is never there.
