Default Clunk

I have an 05 S40 T5 and there is a clunk you can hear coming from the engine bay when you start it in the morning or after it sits for a while. It started making the sound around 1,000 miles, now I have about 1,700. I asked the service advisor to check it and the tech's comments where clunk coming from power steering pump. Is this normal? Or something I should live with?[:@]

Hmmm, well I will take it back and tell them to take a look at it again. I am just bothered that a car like this will have this annoying problem.

Took it back and service tech insists nothing wrong. I just couldn't believe that for this kind of car that it would be making the sound. Well all I could do is to keep taking it back and complain, that way if something goes wrong after warranty is up I can claim that I have asked them to fix it and they did not.
