Sorry to jump in here, but this comparison is a bit off. Ever heard of Manufacturer curtesy before? Audi changed my gearing unit after 5 years and 99k miles down free of charge, because it was a "known" defect in the car. They didnt care about warranty or miles.

As far as i know there were quite some P300 engines blowing up, at least here in Germany, one of them being the engine from a friend of mine. Same problem as described from OP. The guy I am referring to was lucky enough to get the engine replaced + a voucher on top because the airframe was damaged as well. I think Jetcat was a bit reluctant to help him first, but a slight warning about getting help from a lawyer somehow made things work.

@OP: Contact me via PN, I will ask my friend if I can get you in touch with him, if you want.
