There are 7 Jabiru engines in the Hanger I share, all flying, and nobody has a problem, everyone seems happy with the service.
The older Jabiru engines had some problems but they all seem to have been resolved and Jabiru's overhaul policy of upgrading engines to the latest specifications is great. I will shutup now, I've voiced my opinion more than enough on this subject -----Original Message----- From: krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net] On Behalf Of Phil Matheson Sent: Friday, 15 September 2006 9:46 AM To: KRnet Subject: Re: KR> Re:jabiru I have spoken to many Jabiru owners, most of them say the same thing, Jabiru will not admit there is any problem with their engines, Why would you when they can not keep up with orders. A friend has a 2200 Jabiru, it has very low oil pressure, They (Jabiru ) say no it does not, he sent the engine to them and asked them to check it out. It returned with a note saying nothing was found wrong with it. When he fitted back into his plane the cowl would not fit. They replaced the 2200 oil pump with a lager one, and he had to cut and modify the cowl so it would fit. Now it has SO MUCH oil pressure, it leaks oil all over the place. Jabiru will not return his Calls or emails SO ???????????? He tells me that there are plenty of complaints on the net, but I will have to ask him where to find them Phillip Matheson 0408665880 (cell) VHPKR Australia. mathes...@dodo.com.au KR2 Web Page www.philskr2.50megs.com http://www.vw-engines.com/ _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
