Have you resolved the issue ? I have the same problem it only started happening after taking the car to garage for timing chain replacement since then its doing exactly as what your car is doing.
I did take it back to them (MSL Bradford) but there is no faults with the car after doing all there checks.
Thank you for reading hopefully there is some in here that know what it might be.




Most of the pumped juice goes nowhere... but directly back into the tank through the pump pressure relief discharge.
That being said, the YouTube sound track does sound like air is getting involved - Even a low tank should not introduce any air because it has a reserve 1.5 gallon tub to host the pump inlet.

I think you'll find that your pump has developed a crack in the plastic pump housing assembly.
Do a tune up of these tank parts... change as many as you care to, including your working pump or not, filter or not etc... but replace housing and pump hoses.
Hope this help coral your solution

With regards to the Om651 fuel pump noise on "gurgling noise " on models from 2010-2013 one of the causes are the injector fuel return line.
Replace the injector fuel return line before interfering with the rear pump and sender unit.
i will list the picture below and part number

And this has resolved my issue I am so happy because it has been like this for a about a year since doing the timing chain.

The high pressure fuel pump(s) under the hood are driven by the cam shaft so that the pump gives a fuel pressure peak at the correct time to press the fuel in the cylinder under the high pressure from compression. Could the timing chain change somehow have changed the timing that also changes timing of the pump?
Are there any extra noises under the hood around the HP fuel pump(s)?




I don't see timing chain job relating to that... perhaps on HPFP side...
