CHT gauge for DA20 C-1

Post by LuckyDube07 »

Hello all, I have a 2001 DA20 in a flight school that is in need of a new cylinder head temp gauge. We've attempted to order one from Diamond but they are telling us that it will take up to 2 weeks to get it shipped out to us. Does anyone have a spare gauge they are willing to part with or know of a different vendor we can approach to get another gauge in a shorter time period? It's really unfortunate that this equipment on the AFM's KOEL but yet there's apparently no easy way to procure a replacement.

Any good leads are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Dube

Hi Dube,

The manufacturer should be listed in the equipment list in the AFM. I don't have the DA20-C1 AFM manual in front of me, but on the A1 models, most of the gauges are VDO (which is automotive). https://www.vdo-gauges.com/ I'm pretty sure the older C1's used the same gauges.
