Octavia oil pump noise on cold morning.

[Matanfr]

Hello,

I get a ticking noise (I believe from the oil pump) during ,morning starts. The noise disappears after the car gets to working temp. 

From checking on Youtube i saw that the issue occurs to additional owners of octavia diesel 1.6 owners but skoda says the noise is fine (according to one of the youtube comments).

 

I want to replace the oil pump after 210K km. What oil pump manufacturers are recommended/considered original?

The price of oil pump here is hilarious so i'm buying it from online retailer (ebay/autodoc/etc) and send it to Israel. 

 

Thanks.

What i would recommend is taking off the oil sump and cleaning the oil pick up tube

Currently taking off the oil sump and cleaning is not on the schedule. 

I prefer to replace the pump. 

Are there any recommended manufacturers for it?

[Adamskii]

I personally would go for genuine one. Whats your engine code?

You are on the right track. Please share yout next steps, I'm interested as well.

 

Sounds like broken, already 4 years in my car. Once the warranty is over I want to replace the pump as well.

why not replace it under warranty?
