Hi! When I start the car, after a few seconds starts a high frequency noise. The noise is located in middle right low part of the car. Here is the recording of the sound: [https://vimeo.com/169508427](https://vimeo.com/169508427) The noise gets stronger after 14 sec of the video- when i get closer with recorder,… And the image of the possible location: [url=http://postimg.org/image/x6q1v9bez/] The image is near fuel tank, but doubt it has to do with the sound. Thank you ---

The quality of that recording is…not good…but, based on what I can hear, as well as your statement that the noise is coming from the area of the fuel tank, I think that the noise is likely coming from a failing electric fuel pump. I would suggest checking the fuel pump now, before it fails and winds up stranding you, and before you need to spend extra money to have the car towed to a mechanic’s shop. ---

+1 to VDC’s post. As regards getting a new pump on order ASAP, that’s a good idea, because you face the additional challenge of actually finding one… and then waiting for it to get shipped from France. 😄 Sincere best of luck with this.
