Posted in wrong group (misc) so apologies for cross post.

Passat 2004 130 TDi: quite a racket coming from what sounds like the
fuel tank area. I'll have to get under it at the weekend and
investigate, but it sounds like the rear o/s area. If I boot it, it
goes away for a second or two and comes back. Car runs and drives
fine, no fuel issues.

Could this be the lift pump about to die?

If I lift the rear seat, it sounds like the noise (quite a racket) is coming
from beneath that. Sounds mechanical.

No help necessarily but I walked past an AA van trying to start a car
the other day and he had the rear seat up and was doing something with
a multimeter in that area. Could he have been checking the feed to a
fuel pump that may have been underneath the floor in that area?
