It's more likely to be your auxillary water pump mate, which is located on the passenger side of the engine.

It's basically a secondary pump to circulate the water while the engine is switched off.

The one on my VR used to squeal/whine a bit, but it kinda fixed itself lol.

If yours isn't sounding too healthy then you're better off getting it replaced just to be on the safe side. I've seen second hand ones sell for about 20 quid, or expect to pay around 70 from GSF apparently.

The VR's used them due to high underbonnet temp.
