Collected new Barcelona and are now having few days away....

But we appear to have a Noisey Water Pump been onto the dealership and they suggested a couple of options to solve the problem we have even drained and re-primed the system but still we have a Noisey Pump which i am now finding very frustrating and annoying

The noise which is hard to describe sounds like a pulsating / knocking noise rather than a whizzing noise spinning noise.

Any suggestions please before I take the caravan back....
