Re: Engine Oil Online Store

No I'm sorry - no longer looking for a partner on our DA40. Thanks

Re: ECU Failure Errors in Flight
That's exactly what it was - it was the waste gate controller actuator. The actuator was replaced and the plane is now back in service - no further problems.

Wow that's frustrating ... I agree. I will keep everyone updated on what we learn next week.

Re: ECU Failure Errors in Flight
This is similar to what we were getting on a few flights (unlatched errors we could clear on the ground on each ECU). However on the last flight power dropped by about 25% uncommanded. That got my attention! The shop sent the data to Diamond -- Diamond looked at the data and they are suggesting an a...

Re: ECU Failure Errors in Flight
Thanks Paul - super helpful. I will pass this on to the shop. I went for a short test flight today to see if the problem would re-occur. I got the ECU error immediately after clearing the runway (first A then B). Power was reduced by the system (uncommanded) to about 80%. I flew a tight pattern and ...

ECU Failure Errors in Flight
I have a 2020 DA40 NG and today got an ECU A fail message in flight. It then cleared itself, and a few seconds late I got an ECU B fail, following by both ECU A and ECU B fail. Power and engine sound was unchanged. I landed and was able to clear the errors on the ground - so they were unlatched. We ...

Re: MSB-E4-034 High Pressure Fuel Pump driving gear
Apologies when I read this above, I thought it was referring to the oil pump. We had that replaced earlier this year.
Has anyone had the fuel pump gear replaced. Curious as to how long it took, and if Austro has parts in stock?
Another major AD!

Re: MSB-E4-034 High Pressure Fuel Pump driving gear
My engine was affected and I had my pump replaced. It took about 3-4 days. Warranty covered all the expenses. Some people have had trouble getting the new pumps - they have had a backlog.

Re: O-Ring wrong position on oil dipstick
This is interesting. I remember when I got my plane, the oil cap would "spin free" once it was tightened. Now it stops turning. I'm wondering if this is because the O-ring slipped back to where the thread starts. Should the oil cap spin freely once it's fully tightened, if the O-ring is in...
