Hi all, just noticed this funny noise today.
Happens when you switch the ignition on, and the fuel pump primes...
but mine makes this funny gurgling noise. However its fine when the engine is running.

Did a search and couldn't find any info, but i did find this short video on youtube... mine sounds exactly the same. (ps its the noise after all the others that you hear, sounds like ice in an ice machine)

Quite normal, a rushing noise as the lift pump primes the system.

oh... didn't know that. Haven't had the car that long, but its the first time I've heard it.
Thanks for the info, thought I mayy have to replace something else!!!
