Default Weird sound

Whenever i start the car it is makin a weird and loud humming sound coming from the back of the car and continues as i drive. There are no check engine lights and the car runs fine like it always have. It is a 2002 A4. Has anyone had this problem? If anyone can help it would be appreciated!

Can you tell if it's coming from one side or the other? Might be a fuel pump.

Default Its your fuel pump! Go to dealer and have them replace it. but..

make sure they replace it.

Our cars are prone to failing fuel pumps around 40k. Mine started making the humming noise for a while and the car ran fine, however, before i became stranded somewhere I brought it to the dealer for replacement. They "claimed" to have swapped it out for a new one.

A month later i'm sitting at idle in dunkin donuts parking lot and the motor stops running.

so make sure they change it for you!
