| Subject: | Rotax 914 Turbo - TCU Amber light Blinking |
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?

Roger Lee,
I was reviewing the messages and saw where one of the guys was using
WD40 to ease off the hoses, and possibly re-using the hoses. What if any, is
the reaction of the hose to the oil content of Wd40? Is there any form of
deterioration in this practice? If so, what is your habit?
Thanks, Ferg Kyle
