    Fuel pump priming on a Bora?

    I hear stories of the fuel pump priming (awesome sound, had it on my WRX) on a Mk4 R32 upon opening the driver's door. Does this occur on a Bora?

    It certainly doesn't on mine, but thats not bothering me cause the damn interior lights don't even come on...

    Yeah it does, I can hear a slight fain whizz sound. Thank god you already answered my question, the lights and fuel pump issue are related. Your door micro switch is broken in your drivers door. I had the exact same problem, bit of a pain to fix but not too bad.
