I have the same problem. I noticed that it only appears if the tank gets
empty and the pump gets "air". If I switch to reserve or fill up,
everything is ok again.

Is this the beginning of a pump breakdown ?
Adrian, any tips ? How about writing a "fuel pump fixing howto" ? :-)))
Replacing is no good idea ... (500,-- DM :-( )

Greets,
