Gwengler,
I've read the report. Seems atypical to me. FWIW, the Thielert-172
operated by Canair here in Uetersen gets nothing but praise by the
owner. One of the comments to the report you quoted is similar.
Nonetheless, yes, these things are new and thus full of surprises. Big
traditional engines are different: A top overhaul after some hundred
hours shouldn't come as a surprise - it is expected.
