I have recently purchased an 01 CLK230K..which having previously been a VW buyer, am fairly impressed with.
I have noticed a whirring noise coming from the boot area of the car. I have traced this to what i think is the lifter pump in the fuel tank.
There is a slight noise when the car is at idle and it gets louder as the car is being driven, increrasing in loudness with speed!
The car appears to drive normally and there is no noticeable difference in acceleration/performance.
I can't remember hearing this when i test drove the car otherwise i would have pointed it out to the dealer..I know the dealer serviced the car between buying and collecting but he is playing dumb about it:evil:
It sounds as though the pump is sucking air but it cannot possibly be given the tank is 3/4 full!!
Anyone any suggestions what to check??
