On my 81 Vanagon, I get a sound that seems to match what you are saying, and
when I took it to the dealer, he said it was the fuel filter. I changed the
filter, and the sound went away. Now when I hear it, I change the filter and
it sure as heck seems to be the cure. I have no idea why the fuel filter
being dirty causes such a sound, but it certainly does.


Just thought this might be the same thing you are hearing.


Regards from Utah,


John
