Guest mr_wuffles Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 How do you tell if a 200 Tdi engine is fitted with the double sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 No such thing as a double sump on any LR Tdi engine, it just looks different because the 200TDi has a ladder frame bolted to the blocks lower face [to stiffen the casing to help damp out pulseing from the direct injection system] the pressed steel sump is then bolted to he bottom face of the ladder frame. The additional ladder frame isn't used on the 300Tdi, the block was re-engineered/designed to have a stiffer block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_wuffles Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Are you sure? My mate who's been a Land Rover mechanic for well over 25 year seems to think differently? Maybe do defender and disco engine have a different sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I think Ralph is right (usually is!) though my memory on this is a bit vague as I don't see many 200Tdis at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 disco and defender sumps on 200 tdi's are the same as each other afaik. both definitely have the ladder frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 So what's a double sump? or rather why would one want one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 no idea, never heard of this, heard of dry sumping but thats more race car stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_wuffles Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 here's a double sump see the thick alloy bit? It's so that your engine can run when your sideways fitted to diggers and plant machinery and some land rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlandy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 what difference will that make to allowing an engine to run on its side? cant see it myself?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Neale Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 here's a double sump see the thick alloy bit? It's so that your engine can run when your sideways fitted to diggers and plant machinery and some land rovers. Sorry Nick - that's not a double sump. The "thick alloy bit" is the ladder frame that Ralph (Western) described in his earlier post. In the photo, from top to bottom you can see the engine block itself, the ladder frame section, then the sump - nothing more complicated.

Les Henson Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DOUBLE SUMP. THE THICK ALLOY BIT IS THE LADDER FRAME! No offense intended, but those that have already said that there's no such thing as a double-sump, actually know what they are talking about. Les.
