F1 pump sound in Scuderia

Please tell me if it is normal to hear the F1 pump while driving the Scuderia,mine makes this sound frecuently not only when I open the driver door.

 

I had one 430 that the frekin pump came on ALL the time.. it drove me nuts. Of course, the dealership will tell you that it's normal.. but I've owned 2 other 430's including a scuderia, and I will tell you, it's NOT normal for that pump to come on that often. I got rid of that car after a few months since it couldn't be "fixed"

 

Yes I think it is not normal,after driving the car this noise gets annoying.
Maybe it need,s to be purged,the car has less than 1k!

 

I've never heard my come on except when opening the door.

 

In my Scud, only when i open the door and turn the key to contact position. I always let it prime fully (till the sound is gone) before starting the motor.

Never noticed it during driving, but i will listen next time im in the car.

 

My standard 430 does this, as does a number of other people's 430's that I've asked, it is very difficult to hear normally when driving, let's be honest the car's not quiet I've noticed it when slowing to a stop sometimes, flicking into N engine revs drop then while quite quiet I can sometimes hear a quick whiz of the pump.

I would say it's normal based on the number of cars that do it, they can't all be broken

John.

 

It's normal in all the F430.

 

Maybe I need to plug my vacuums back in so that I can hear?

 

Mine has done it occasionally too.

 

ditto

 

My dealer said that this is normal on scuds since they use more pressure for the super fast 2 trans.
Hmm I don't know,some of you said the same happens in normal 430,s.
