So we spent C$ 800 for a new temperature oil probe (mechanic was assuring me it was reading low). No joy. We found and installed winter kit. No reading higher than 140F. Last update, the thermostatic valve was replaced by mechanic. He told me that he was showing 180F during the ground run. Don't kno...

Louis, unfortunately that's not my case. The highest value I could achieve was 144F (without the winter kit (!) and with OAT around -5C on ground). Yesterday with newly installed winter baffles and OAT -3C I was showing 133 and that makes no sense to me. My next suspect is the oil thermostatic bypas...

Lou, thanks, you are 100% right. The catch is missing, I asked AME mechanic to assist, they did some temporary installation and ordered a new catch. Meanwhile, the oil temperature is still 130-140F and that is frustrating. The POH recommendation about 180F is probably for California or Florida, not ...

Sorry, looks like my picture was not properly attached.
That's how it looks like:

So, I am trying to install it and I found out that the hole where the baffle has to be connected to is too big and the baffle pin has nothing to hook on. https://ibb.co/KrQQqLC ...

Thanks for your replies. So far I noticed it works intermittently - one day it's fine, another day the light does not disappear. The AMP load always reacts to the pitot switch.
I think I am still safe to fly, probably will show it to mechanic the next time I go there.

Hello Diamond pilots, Flying DA40 2003 of my fried. Still believe that I am pretty new to this plane, only about 30 hours flown. A few days ago during the flight I noticed that when I switch Pitot heat ON the annunciator light does not extinguish. On the ground I turned it ON again and made sure tha...
