Fuel pump noise coming from under passenger rear... how much to fix?
I've got 64K miles, no warranty. Anyone know how much it runs to replace what I think is a fuel pump problem? Parts/labor. I figure it would take an hour at the most?
Damn, after I filled up at one station, my fuel pump started making a humming/electronic whining sound.

Start with the fuel filter....skip on the pump
Pump is expensive filter is cheap. A constricted filter will make all kinds of noise. Search my user name to find the video I posted of the sound. Keep in mind I do have an AWE non res exhaust making some additional noise but you should be able to hear the pump whine pretty clearly.

If it happened right after your fill-up, then you got a batch of bad gas.
This happened to me on several occasions but I was always getting gas at the same place.
Decided to experiment and change gas stations and voila! the noises stopped.
I would also agree that if changing gas stations doesn't help, the next step would be to change the fuel filter. This is a pretty easy DIY. Search the forum for a write-up.
Good luck!

I've had the momentary, random whine there for years! No codes, therefore no fix'um.

Fuel pump replacement is around $800 on the A4.
I would start with the filter, very easy to do yourself. $40 or so for the filter and usually solves the problem. I would get it done asap as well, if your filter is clogged, it'll just kill the pump and possibly leave you stranded (depending on how bad it is)
