I just looked in our online aircraft reservations/complaint tool, and there's a warning listed for all our aircraft with the Thielert 1.7 TDI (one DA-40 TDI, two Robin 135 CDIs).
Apparently an e-mail has been received by our club from the IVW (the Dutch CAA) warning pilots of the Thielert 1.7 TDI of an increased risk of loss of power due to oil nozzles in the engine breaking off. The e-mail itself is posted on the noticeboard in the clubhouse but as I haven't been there yet, I don't know its exact contents.
Anybody here who has more information?
