So maybe if it is HPFP related the vanos unit would be trying to prime it by actuating idk. But now I'm worried and probably should have it looked at.


BTW: Did the sound ever come back after the dealership serviced it?
Nope, the noise is gone and hasn't come back so it leads me to believe the sound wasn't normal from the get go.
