    maybe it was a silly question, I have ordered the capacitive gauge from airworlduk /meter/kit which is supposed to be for the europa, seems to fit the bill and I saw from some of the gallery photos that the hole is outside of the headrest. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Build nearing completion Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332101#332101

    Subject: Rotax 914 Turbo - TCU Amber light Blinking
    From: "Turbo_Boss" <turbo_boss@cwpanama.net>
    Hello Guys, I hope that somebody that have a Rotax 914 can help me Last weekend, when I was going to take off, I advance the throttle to full and then advance the lever to engage the turbo, I fill when the turbo kick in for a few seconds but then then I fill the engine loose power like if I move the lever back to disengage the turbo. I abort the take off and get back to the hangar. Thinking that the problem was old fuel, I remove completely the fuel, put new fuel, new plugs, clean the air filter, clean carburetors, start the engine and everything was OK. Since is was late, I don't fly it. Today I start my engine ROTAX 914 Turbo and during the warn up, around 3 minutes of engine running at 2,000 RPM, the Amber Warning TCU light, blink 3 times and then stop blinking. The Engine is installed on a Magni Gyro and it has 248hrs This was my EIS reading when this happened: Fuel Pressure: 6.5psi Engine RPM: 2,000 Oil Temp: 95 EGT: 1,000 CHT: 120 I was checking the Rotax 914 Trouble Shooting Manual and its says that if this Amber TCU warning light blink, its mean that there can be a problem in: Wiring Sensor Sensor damage TCU Failure Air Box Leakage So where you recommend me to start looking for the problem?
