Product Description
The STARK Oil pump (SKOPM-1700020) is an original-equipment-quality internal engine lubrication component engineered by Stark Professional Line. Positioned inside the lower engine crankcase and bolted directly to the underside of the cylinder block, its primary operational function is to draw oil from the sump reservoir and pressurize it to lubricate critical rotating assemblies, such as the crankshaft bearings, intermediate shaft journals, and overhead valvetrain. A defining feature of this specific unit is its **integrated surge barrier (oil baffle plate)**, which keeps engine oil stabilized immediately around the pickup tube screen during heavy braking, acceleration, or hard cornering to prevent air from entering the hydraulic system. Over decades of service, abrasive debris in dirty oil scores the internal pumping gears, and the pressure relief valve spring weakens, leading to critical pressure drop-off, dashboard warning lamps, and catastrophic metal-on-metal engine wear.

| SEAT Ibiza Mk2 (6K1) / Cordoba / Toledo Mk1 | 1.6 i / 1.8 i / 2.0 i / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD crossflow models | 1595 - 1984 cc | 1991 - 1999 |
⚠️ Priming, Bolt Torque & Pickup Clearance Warning: Installing a dry oil pump can burn out its internal gears instantly before oil pressure can build. Before sealing the oil pan, **manually fill the pump housing with fresh, clean engine oil** through the pickup port and rotate the pump drive shaft by hand to distribute the fluid. When mounting the pump to the block, clean the mating surfaces meticulously and torque the mounting bolts strictly to factory specifications (typically **20 Nm** for these classic VAG blocks). Always inspect the inside of your oil pan for sludge or impact damage; a dented oil sump can restrict the clearance of the pump's pickup tube, causing oil starvation at higher engine speeds even with a brand-new pump.
