Hello everyone

I have a 2014 SDV8

the other day when opening the hood while the engine was running I noticed a strange noise coming from the CP4 injection pump, like a timing chain tensioner noise but it comes from the injection pump everyone knows that these pumps are fragile the noise is really audible when the rpm drops back to 1000 rpm

I checked the entire fuel system:

-pump relay R8 in the trunk
-the fuel sender in the fuel tank (stage 1)
-the lift pump (stage 2) under the engine ECU i have LHD.
-replaced the fuel filter twice
-common rail pressure regulator left
-common rail pressure sensor right
-FCV fuel volume control valve on the top of the pump

I found several testimonies from owners who changed the injection pump 800€ because this noise but the noise is still present after replacement


I also discovered that if you disconnect the FCV valve on top of the pump when the engine is at idle the noise disappears immediately


disconnecting this valve brings the pump to its maximum operating pressure, I don't understand why the noise disappears at high pressure, does anyone have any ideas?

I'm going to post a video of the noise, can the owners of TDV8/SDV8 4.4L tell me if it's normal? or if I'm paranoid?

Thanks in advance
