If there is a difference, it is extremely slight. I have to listen > for the pump sound as usual. There are 2 things that I have found which will make the pump sound loud. One is if the rubber bushing mounts for the pump have broken and the pump is actually touching the front axle beam. The other is if the filter is almost completely clogged. This puts much more load on the pump so that it just makes more noise. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
