Hi there - have just picked up my new(ish) Abbey Vogue 2 650.

The onboard water pump is quite noisy - is this normal?

I've checked out for airlocks etc and all seems OK  

you do hear them more than the outboard type of pump, check how it is mounted it may be that makes it loud.

Ours  makes a bit of noise but  after a while you get used to it, they are more powerfull than the outboard types good for the shower.

We had the same surprise when we  purchased our new Abbey van 2 years ago, contacted the dealer who said it was normal, must admit thought we were being fobbed off big style.

Thankfully a similar van came on our site and confirmed his pump sounded like ours, felt much better immediately!!

Thanks for that - it's a very worrying noise

:(

Our Swift Challenger has the onboard pump.  Yes, it makes quite a racket when it is running and has done from day one. 

Also, if we leave the pump on overnight, it sometimes randomly re-pressurises (or something) in the night, running for a few seconds and waking everybody up!  For this reason, we normally make sure it is off before we go to sleep.
