I always thought it primed when you turn the ignition on, guessing its normal then
Thinking about it, it does make sense as the car starts up almost instantly

Mine does it too as soon as the door is opened. it won't do it if you've only left the car for a short time tho.

Is your engine the 1.4 100hp engine? Mines used to make a buzzing noise when you opened the drivers door - it's the fuel pump priming.

the reason yours doesnt do it when you open the door is probably to do with the micro switch on the door locking mech its probably not working so the car doesnt no when the door has been opened if that makes sense.

Honestly mine still primes lol i know its the micro switch thats knakered as the interior light dont come on & the car automatically locks when you unlock it but only open drivers door ;)
