probably got water in it -if it stays on for a while -take it to bits and dry it, lube with wd40 -clean the plug to it too .

Mine does exactly the same  - Whirring for about 30 seconds after the car is unlocked vw told me that it is all working correctly - its been like it for a year now so I suppose I will just wait till it finally packs up!

You may have a small air leak. The pump probably sucks until a certain pressure is realised.
