I would do the pump priming procedure to see if the pump runs, as you can hear it when it does. Here is an excerpt c/p from the procedure:
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Switch on low-beam headlight.
4. Set heating to maximum temperature. Take back blower to smallest stage.
6. Press accelerator pedal for 10 seconds to floor. Engine must not be started.
7. The bleeding procedure was started by pressing the accelerator pedal and takes approx. 12 min.
(the electrical coolant pump was activated and switches off automatically after approx. 12 min).

Also open the overflow cap and see if the coolant is moving with the pump running.
