Our run-around Ka has developed a whistle when you turn it off. It comes from the pressure relief valve in the end of the fuel rail, obvious place to start looking! But...

The pressure relief valve has been replaced, but the whistle still lingers!

Someone has mentioned it could be a problem with the fuel pump (but at £160 I would rather have a second or thirded opinion!)

There is also a valve on the tank that controls the tank pressure and allows fuel vapour to be fed into the inlet manifold. Dont think its anything to do with that though.

Its an S-reg 1.3 Ka.

Anyone got any ideas?

David

is there a small vac hose on the reg?if so it could be manifold vac

try it with the fuel cap off, might be tank vacuum...

Any other suggestions?

I am asking on behalf of Dad who doesnt have internet access. So the more suggestions the better, then I will email him the suggestions.

Cheers,
David
