Vibration issues - upgrade iS to iS Sport
in 912iS Technical Questions

Posted a thread about rough running / vibration a few months back -still unresolved!
Also had a new Whirlwind prop crack (no prop strike) since then ..... Cause or effect or unrelated?
Since then, I had a lane B light issue which was also unexplained. Agents here rerouted some wiring - unfortunately initiating a fuel pump failure in flight .....caused a few more grey hairs!
Factory has also recommended replacing some gearbox parts...? Less than 150 hours total time!
I am waiting for the Sport upgrade - delivery was expected mid July - this has been delayed. I believe there have been a few iS engines here in South Africa experiencing vibration /possible gearbox issues as well. Don't want to open the gearbox and still have to do any other changes when the upgrade is fitted.
Some questions ....
1). Is it just my engine or are these issues common?
2). What changes apart from torque and fuel consumption does the upgrade address?
3). When can we expect the upgrade to be realistically available?
4). Anyone else out there having any other issues? If so what?
