 |
|
Just been for a short flight and had to return due to VDO oil pressure gauge having gone off the clock. On ground and at low RPM, normal cruise pressure shown.
Has any one out there had this problem either with the gauge or sender or with a sticky pressure relief valve. The engine is a 3300 130 hrs. I will be checking valve tomorrow.

I can't talk for the black starter, but the later silver one can be removed without disturbing any other component. As I recall, three socket-head cap screws hold it on. There is an adapter nose that will come off the starter when the starter is removed, and it can only be reinstalled one way, I have found.

I was doing some ground tests and the engine started fine as usual. There was no sluggishness or hesitation to start. Then without any warning, the starter motor just spun without turning the engine. When I try it now, there is a “clink” noise for a split second and then the starter just spins. I suspect the starter bendix/gear is not engaging the flywheel gear.
Can the starter be removed without taking any other components off (for example the alternator or flywheel)?
If it is just the bendix/gear, can it be replaced?
Are there any special alignment adjustments when reinstalling the starter?
Thanks,

I had my VDO oil pressure sender go TU at around 300 hrs, It would go to either 79 or 80 psi on my Grand Rapids (apparently the max for the Grand Rapids) even at idle but would also, at idle, swing back and forth between normal and max.
Cured with a new VDO sender from NAPA auto parts.

I replaced my VDO sender last fall, when during a flight, the oil pressure read to the max of 80 psi, setting off the EIS alarm. I checked the oil pressure with a manual gauge on the ground and the readings were fine. After installing the new one, pressures were very similar to the readings of the manual gauge. No issues since then. I wonder if the vibrations of the engine shortens the life of the pressure sender.

Thanks for your response.
I will check out tomorrow, pretty sure the sender is at fault.

I had this problem. In cruise, the oil pressure pegged, but at idle, it seemed to register correctly. I replace the sending unit and that fixed the problem.

No problems with my VDO on a 2200 and a Model 4000 EIS from Grand

No problems with my VDO on a 2200 >>
Hi,
I have a 2200 on my Kolb and have had some trouble and replaced sensers
couple of times. Now pressure builds OK but then slowly fades over 20
minutes flying. Everything seems to be working Ok, nothing loose. I have
today drained the Aeroshell 100 and replaced with 15W-50. A long shot.
