Starting my 2003 2.5 up today and got a low, loud noise from the rear for a few seconds, which then goes away. It is coming from the area of the fuel tank so I suspect the pump is playing up. Are they difficult to change? If I leave it will it get better or just pack up and lave me stranded?
Any one had this sort of thing before?

If you try and take a cat apart the first thing you have is a non working cat.

Not unheard of especially as these cars get older , have you noticed any difference with a full tank of fuel ?Paulr wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2017 9:04 pm Starting my 2003 2.5 up today and got a low, loud noise from the rear for a few seconds, which then goes away.

I had the same noise a couple of years ago,happened two or three times ,not heard it since.

Hi, I think the tank has to be removed to access the pump
