Running too cool
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
10 years ago
I have a UK based 2011 built Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat (Valor in US) with a 912S engine. The oil temperature never gets above 70 degrees C. I know this is not good for maximum protection. The oil cooler has a thermostat fitted so I suspect the engine cooling system is working a little too well. The cabin heater works by ducting from the back of the cooling radiator and it is not very successful at heating the cabin because the radiator doesn't get very warm. The engine has only done 60 hours from new but how do I go about getting the engine to run warmer? Thanks, James.
