I was getting the same sort of responses for my service requests where I'm from- that the car doesn't need work for something that isn't completely broken etc, so I'm in CA this weekend to visit a reputable dealer on the E. coast to get their own independent diagnoses and inspection for my current concerns. I'll bring up the new TSB for fuel pumps and see what they say.

I've had the "chirping" sound since the day i drove the car home. Luckily i called my dealer and they ordered a new fuel pump for me. I'll be sure to update to see if the sound goes away.

just started getting this at about 1700 miles. properly broke it in for the first 1k. been driving it harder since. only happens once its warm, not when i start.

I started to hear this noise when my car reached 100 miles, now my vehicle is at 14,000 miles. I am planning to take it to the dealer and have them inspect it. I am wondering if someone had already gone to for answers, and got a way to fix it. In my opinion, this noise is annoying and it should not be there in first place.

My BRZ is at the dealer right now getting a new fuel pump, fingers crossed.

8 days, ~850 miles driven, and no chirping so far.

This gives me hope. My 'green dot' pump is supposedly being ordered today.

FRSTRM · 05-30-2013, 12:39 PM

I've had it for over a month, 2k miles, I have noticed no chirping.

Freetime · 05-30-2013, 01:58 PM

Had mine replaced last week. No chirps so far, but limited driving last weekend.

4k miles, hearing the chirping :eek:

9th day today. 350+ miles. No sign of chirp.
It somehow got rid of the other noise too. So, maybe the other noise was from the fuel pump too.

Mine does it on and off for a few minutes, then it goes away for days. The first time it happened was at 800 miles after I filled up the tank at a local shell. It has 1K now and it hasnt done it in 1 week. I'll fill it up on my way home.
The car was "made" in march of 2013
