   yes. The pump primes to build pressure. It's that you can hear with the engine off.

   Sorry - you weren't clear on that in your original post
   
   Noisy pump then. Due for a replacement shortly. Ideally for your convenience, prior to it failing (seizing) when you need to use the car...
   
   They can be noisy to some extent - if you've removed any sound deadening or carpet/seats etc, they can be very intrusive. But if you can hear it with the engine running, driving along, with a standard interior, then it's on it's way out. Very easy to replace if you get a complete pump/swirl pot setup.

   Also would a p420 fault be caused by a faulty petrol pump
