Default Noisy Central Heating Pump

The Grundfos pump on my Baxi Combi 80e boiler continued to be noisy
despite opening the screw on the automatic air vent when refilling the
system. Loosening the large silver bleed screw on the pump while the
heating was on released trapped air and stopped the pipe vibrating.

Is the noise a whine or a screech? in which case you have a damaged pump.
The pump may be generic or it may well be that the head is interchangeable
with a standard Grundfos unit.
