I'm pretty sure it isn't a problem and is something that is part of the LR2's normal operation but I am curious as to what it is and maybe somebody here knows what it is. After I turn the car off after a relatively good drive I hear a strange noise in the left rear part of the vehicle, right above the wheel base. It sounds like it is pumping something. The noise doesn't appear in any other part of the vehicle, anybody know why?

is it a high pitched whine? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can't really tell, quite possibly. As I said before it's just this noise that is coming right above the left-rear wheel.

there is a buzzing noise that all of us get wit TD4 engines

you can read about that about, (one of many threads on that subject)

It could also be you aircon pump I think that located in the left area of the engine

Ah, thanks for the info Nick.

.....a pumping sound in the rear of the vehicle.......are you sure that it's not 2 people in the boot, having a fuc.......nah, sorry that's a silly idea

fuel pump possibly?? At work

I hear it, too as I normally walk past that part of the vehicle on my way to the house. It's a very quiet, definitely mechanical noise, like an electric pump. Since we don't have air suspension, I guessed it was probably just the fuel pump. Not sure why they would have it run on another minute or two after turning the vehicle off.

The other day, I noticed that I also get a slight buzzing from under the hood. It was dark so I haven't had an opportunity to try and isolate that noise, yet. This is on a 3.2 gas engine, not diesel.

You have an LPG FL2?!

I used to hear the noises until I stuffed it full of acoustic insulation. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I start hearing this "pumping noise under the car, left side (LHD)
but engine on, when I open the door before I shut the engine. kind of 3 seconds noise then stop 5 secondes then back 3 secondes ...

On the left rear of the car just above the wheel arch liner is the breather hose for the rear diff, my rear diff went and chucked oil through this pipe hence the reason I know where it is...
The noise could just be air escaping due to the pressure difference as the diff cools down after a drive possibly?

The only other noise im aware of that these cars make on shutdown is the high pitched whine and a few clicks from the throttle body , should only last 30secs or so..

It's a pump, definitely. I'll try to record the noise.

Here is the noise. It happens about every 5 seconds when parked.
