You should hear a bit of a hum if you are right next to it. If you hear it while the engine is running at a stop light there is a problem coming... especially if it is really noticeable. I have in the past changed the fuel filter and things improved slightly as the pump doesn't have to "suck" as hard. I would look into it sooner than later as I have know a few people who have been stranded at that red light when the pump did pack it in!

I'm a new Vanagon owner and am concerned about my ability at hearing the fuel pump buzzing away while sitting at stop lights etc. It is a relativly new pump. Do all vanagons do this i would have checked the archives but couldn't access the web page. thanks
