If the lift pump fails, the other one will buzz or whine.

they can be loud without actually failing. when i first got my 16v the pump was annoyingly loud although still maintained perfect pressure.

only way to test is to test the pressure. if you come across a 16v pump id purchase it there & then. they aint the handiest thing to find when you need one

I had a mk2 2 litre 16v abf engined golf but the fuel pump was from the kr engine and it used to whine like crazy but ran fine other than that. I have read lots of times they are renound for the whining noises they make!
