It's fully FADEC controlled, so no overheating possible.
Automobile engines have been digitally controlled for two decades and
they still can overheat.


Yes, but they don't overheat because somebody set the wrong
combination of three different knobs.


What part of "so no overheating possible" didn't you understand? That
statement is simply factually incorrect.


What part of "not possible" didn't *you* understand? Frankly I don't
know abot the Thielert, but with the FADEC controlled engine *I* fly
regularly (a non-certified engine which isn't sold in the USA), I've not
been able to overheat it, and I *did* try. (Actually I've just tried to
reach the allowed limits, of course.) So yes, it's a reachable goal.
