What made you change the pump? Maybe there is another problem causing the red light? Need more info here.

What are the pressures like in the system? What is the fault code? Will it attempt a rodeo? Has it been primed after replacement?

I don't know because after changing the pump and hose was working fine for a week and 2 days ago I feel noise at front for the driver side . I pulled down and up for the driver side and the noise is there

Well, start with actual diagnosis. If there's a warning light, there's a fault code. See what it is. Red is usually a low pressure fault.

For less than what the dealer may charge you could perform your own diagnosis with an iCarsoft i980 diagnostic tool costing c. $110. Better still would be to spend $300 and replicate the "Star Diagnosis" system used by many professional Mercedes technicians.
