Loud vegi pump

[anii23]

The pump on my V3 has recently gone from whisper quiet to loud. Should I be concerned? I have about 20k miles on my V3. Everything seems to be working fine.

Thats what mine did before it failed.Also could be debris in pump gear,There is a oscilating gear and cam on that pump(gear pump),if there is any gunk in there can cause that issue as well.................

Ani, might consider pulling it off and checking for any debris in the pump as Greasy mentioned. I pulled mine off a while back due to pressure issues and it wasn't too bad. I think I posted up a thread on that too.

I will say, be sure to clamp the lines coming from the tank to the V3. Otherwise, you'll have a river of oil that just doesn't stop while you've got the pump out. I basically syphons off the tank the whole time.

Makes for a mess.

Good luck!

Also a loud pump could be caused from a restriction in the feed line, or sucking air will cause these pumps to get loud as well. Please check your prescreen. If we can determine the issue before you continue to use the system then we might be able to save the pump. Then again if it is just a bad pump then there won't be much to do other than run it till it stops working altogether.

All,

My pump has the same issue, but the noise comes and goes. Been happening for about 5k miles.....Like James stated, Im just waiting for it to go......I cleared all other issues mentioned in this thread. performance is great, just some noise.

Jason also had me check that the V3 was not in contact with the frame anywhere......could be the cause. Was not for me....Good luck
