My Olsen furnace is making a whistling noise when using the heating
unit only, there is no noise when using air-con. I believe it is the
fuel pump (A2VA-7116 Suntec) on a Beckett motor. Question: How do I
replace this pump myself or do I need to hire a furnace contractor.

The whisting noise could be coming from the air intake grill on the
side of the burner when its sucking in air. It could be normal, but
have a guy come out and take a look, you are better off.

As long as you can check/set pump pressure, obtain the correct single
stage or two stage pump, set under and over fire draft, replace oil
filter and nozzle, adjust electrode gap, use a smoke pump and adjust
CO2 and O2 settings with a digital combustion efficiency analyzer then
Id say you can just go ahead and have at it.

If it whistles while it works, so what? It's not broken is it?

Is the air inlet screen very dirty? If there is a lot of dust occluding
the opening it may be making a whistling noise as the required air
passes through the remaining small open area.
Changing out the oil pump is straight forward but may not be the
problem. have two of these in my home and it takes about an houreach
to tear them down, clean and adjust them. Beckett has made these quite
easy to service.
Get a copy of the Beckett service manual.
