buzzing coming from vicinity of rear axle of '82 380SL, HUH ?

Apr 11, 2004 5 Replies

Just as I drove into the garage last night, said buzzing commenced.



What device is near the rear axle of this car that would cause this ?



How much do they cost and how difficult is to replace/repair, please ?



Appreciatively,


Could be the electric fuel pump - it's back there somewhere.

Can it be repaired and is it worth it ?

Thank you,

Courtney

In addition to the new fuel pump, replace the fuel filter and the accumulator. They are all located in the same area as the fuel pump. Installation time estimate is 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.

Spend the extra money and purchase the Bosch pump.

Why? Which one came with the car new ? Somewhere i the back of my head I had a recollection of piermonts being better pumps. No?
