Sounds like the bearings in the electric pump are playing up......more than likely got bronze bearings in it rather than ball bearings, the oil dries up and then they can squeal.

To be honest with you mate ive never really come into contact with a charge cooler but thats about all it can be as its the only machanically moving part..........most motors are easy to strip down and a bit of oil usually sorts it out for a very long time, but i cant be a lot more helpful than that. Maybe if u get a picture up of the motor i can help more?
