It may not be the pump, but does sound like it. Something is definately not right. It could also be alternator bearings though i doubt it. I would take off the aux belt and start the engine and see if noise goes away, if it does you will know its one of the parts run by said belt causing the issue. ( if you see what i mean)

Understood mate yes thanks. Prety hard to do tho because it only does it on cold start

Does it only do it for about 90 sec then stop?

I was thinking could it be the secondary air pump?

Take the cambelt cover off and check if one of the bolt of the pulley has beocme loose, This happend to a figaro turbo engine, i gave in for recon and when i got it back, i fired it up and it was maing a similar noise to this, and upon inspection, one of the bolt was loose from the pulley.

I was lucky it didnt get in the way of the cambelt and wrecking a newly recond engine  :lipsrsealed:
