Ok could be. I can confirm the input module does get smoking hot - mine was black and blistered and the cabin was full of smoke. It smelt like we were in a welding workshop! They modified the software after to register higher temperatures than previously calibrated - our gauge went blank at a certain point.
A washer in the scavenge line will definitely cause churning.
