Hi all. I've just bought a 2015 Octavia Scout 4x4 2.0 TDI. 

 

Love the car so far but there's a few niggles I'd like to iron out.

 

Thanks for having me.

Welcome, hopefully people can assist you with your niggles shortly.

Hi and welcome to forum! List your niggles and you should get help.

Can I ask, why Skoda? What did you drive before?

Hi folks,

 

I'm just trying to find the right tread to post on but I basically have an in-tank fuel pump that's creating more noise than I think it should.

I can hear it whining away when idle and the frequency of the noise changes with revs.  

It would be good to hear if anyone else has similar issues or if it's a common noise that I should just ignore. Someone has suggested the control module for the fuel pump may be to blame. 

 

I had my dad's old Roomster before this and was very impressed with the performance and mpg 👍

I found this old thread which explains my issue quite well. 

 

 

Whirring noise starts when ticking over, can't hear much whilst driving, noise continues for a few seconds after engine is switched off. 

Comes from under the rear seat. 

 

I'm struggling to find a replacement pump for my car however. I believe its Oem No: 5Q0919088AM.

 

Does anyone have a good source for second hand parts?

 

Thanks in advance.

You should verify this is correct by a VIN search at a dealer (see if they can email you a quote, that way you have the part numbers)

The link is not to say "buy from here" but to show you that you will most likely need a new fuel level sender also to add to the cost.

 

 

I did see this on the parts program ETKA also

That's very helpful @varooom thank you for the speedy response 👍

Well after a month I finally have a new second hand fuel pump in and it's working perfectly. Nice and silent. It's so nice to not hear that horrible whining when I start the car. 

 

The first one I ordered got lost in the post, brokers refused to refund me so I had to get my bank involved for a refund. (Specialist Dismantlers, Oldham) please never use them. This company had some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Lies and being fobbed off at every turn. 

 

The second one I ordered from a different brokers arrived with a broken outer case, so my mechanic and I had to disassemble the old unit and use the outer case from it on the new pump. (UKVechicleDismantlers - through eBay) Although the outer case was broken the customer service and packaging was very good. 

 

Hopefully this will help anyone else with a similar problem. 

 

Thanks for the help folks.
