noisy fuel pump

[pechopm]

Hi,have just had 80k service on my 05 echo 1.3 and now the alleged new fuel pump makes a constant whirring whizzing sound which to say the least is annoying.Having been driving for 30 years and owned numerous cars i have never heard this eminating from any other car.My wife took back to toyota and they made her look stupid telling her its because its a new fuel pump, thats what they do,but from what im reading its not what they do ,can anyone shed any light on this problem,,,thanks, phil..

To change the fuel filter you need to pull up the back seat, remove a cover plate and access the fuel pump/filter assembly in the tank...

I suggest pulling up the back seat and boot carpet, access the service hole and making sure everything is tight and been resealed...

Well i also had my oil filter changed in my Yaris @ 80k km... i had the same noise as you but after 10k km the noise is gone, it does flare up once every week or so but mostly gone now...

you probably mean you had your fuel pump changed i think , as you have said oil filter ,but i am talking about a noisy fuel pump...not oil filter..

my bad it was fuel filter...

i had that done @ 80k km now @ 92k km the pump is fine, it makes noise once a week or so but it goes away fairly quickly...

All they should have done was to change the fuel filter, not the pump.

Echo fuel pumps are NOT noisy. Take it back, and back and back until they fix it.

Check that the bottom of the fuel tank isn't dented in case it has been pressed up and is now hitting the pump assembly.
