Noisy Fuel Pump

Replacement fuel pump – 

 Is that noisy fuel pump a failing pump or simply $3 worth of dried-out pump isolation mounting grommets? 

On cars with 90K miles or more on them with an original fuel pump and someone is experiencing what seems to be intermittent fuel supply issues, replacing the DME relay should be the first action. If that doesn't solve the issue, the fuel filter should be replaced, and then consider replacing the pump. A new pump is about $125 in a BOSCH box.

Also if the pump seems to be the root cause of hard starting the fuel pressure can be checked at the Schrader valve on the driver side fuel rail where the static pressure should be at 3.8 bar or at idle a bit higher.
