    Low oil temperature during flight

    I don't doubt what you say and I'm pretty convinced that is it but the fact that Garmin doesn't want to share information with me, the buyer and end-client "without the consent" of the shop, then to me is their lack of support and supervision on the work of their chosen dealers. As a customer I...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    It has finally been resolved and yes, it was an installation issue probably due to lack of experience (I was the first G·X ever installed by this shop) but also lack of adequate support by Garmin. 4 months to solve this. To this day I still wonder if the shop really used the materials that...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    I'm sorry to differ from your opinion but their very specific and expensive wire was the problem in my case. As a matter of fact, a cheaper but more reliable wiring was the one that worked for me, so yes, it is Garmin's fault that they aren't even open to consider other wirings. I do agree it...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    Gentlemen, MY problem has been finally resolved. To make a very long and painful experience short in writing, the problem was the wire used for the harnesses. The shop used very high quality wires but for some reason these were causing some interference. They finally re-made the harnesses with...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    That is not ok and if I was you I would keep troubleshooting either the sensor or the gauge. Realistically no engine at 75% power can run at 108º if you think about it. Be careful, you can damage the engine.

    Low oil temperature during flight

    Thanks for your reply, Overnight my CHTs, EGTs, OilT and OAT all read actual ambient regardless if with or without cowls. Yes, all wiring was replaced with new ones. The grounding directly to the engine is the one thing I will check for on monday as well as the live power source for the GEA. I...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    We have finally determined that the erroneous temp indictions happen only when the cowls are on. Even when only the lower cowl is on, temperature readings from oil temp and most fwd CHTs drop extremely. When running the aircraft without cowls then the temp indications are more realistic. An...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    I have. New info but we have yet to find the cause of the problem. Seems like it is not any of the new Garmin components but some type of interference.

    Low oil temperature during flight

    To update you all on this subject, the shop, after checking everything installed and having spoken with Garmin about my aircraft situation, they ordered a new GEA 24 unit from Garmin and exchanged the previous one but nothing changed. The readings were still faulty. They are now consulting with...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    Thank you all for your great input. Yesterday I had the shop check everything with the probes installation and programming. They say all is good. The oil temperature probe was replaced with a brand new one (even though the other one was brand new as well) and in a ground run it now seemed to...

    Low oil temperature during flight

    What do you consider should be an adequate difference in CHT indications?

    Low oil temperature during flight

    I wouldn’t say it is the only thing that changed since I also fixed the baffles and the seals. What catches my attention is the big change. The new oil temp is now extremely low. I have to assume the indications are good since I tested the probe and it was good. That’s what has me dazed.

    Low oil temperature during flight
