[W126 Coupe] Buzzing Fuel Pump

[Barry Corno]

Dave,
  Now you are thinking right. Just stay on top of things and DRIVE.
I am also in my 60's and have been in my 380 SEC for 15 years. I
personally
think they are a joy to drive. The best part is, addressing the question

that is asked, WHAT IS THAT CAR. And it is asked a lot, almost daily.

B.C. 380 SEC AMG  538 K

Thanks to all who responded - looks like the safe thing to do is replace
the
pump.  

As for the maintenance on a 24 year old car, mine has 84K on the
odometer,
and it seems that most of the problems I have are age related.  I love
the
car, like the fact that much of the repair work is something that I can
do
myself (for pleasure, not necessarily for cost savings), and at age 64
think
there is a strong chance I may never buy another car.  Try that out on a
Volvo or other car - the plastics and finish will be long gone before
SEC is
ready for the bone yard.  BTW, this user group is one fantastic resource
-
again, thanks.
