Although I've not got by Europa aloft yet I'm lucky to fly with a couple of
local Europa's Pilots who got on and finished!

One has had to change his Oil Pressure Sender twice now on a 912S. The most
recent time was at about 260 hours and in this case it was over reading.
Changing the Sender fixed the problem. Might also be worth checking Sensor
wiring.
