Petrolhead Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Has anyone replaced their CSR200 sump? I am more interested if you has problems with the supply of the the sump from Caterham than how to fit etc. Did you get a sump that looked corrent only to find there had beensome internal changes? ----- My site----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrolhead Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 This is what I am trying to find out Its a long story but briefly my car has been at Caterham after an accident since May 2009 and the reason for the delay is the sump I am trying to get to the bottom of why a replacement sump is so hard to get hold of and have been told by CC that the design was changed My site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMALC Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 There are two sump designs, Caterham Midlands explained them to us. If I remember correctly on early engines you can not just drop the sump off as it is partly retained by other fittings at the front of the engine.

mic Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 CSR's rerequire the engine removed to remove the sump. CSR race cars had a modified sump fitted in 2008 to enable an external tank to be used. It is a different sump to the dry sump on the C400 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The CSR sump I looked at when visiting Titan had an internal scavange pump driven by an extended timing chain. A neat but expensive solution. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
