Send it to AMT Netherlands if it actually need anything done to it. AMT engines seldom need maintenance as they are built bullet proof. Not uncommon for them to do 1000 plus starts before maintenance is even becoming a consideration. I have 8 of them and my original Pegasus from 1997 has never had any maintenance requirement.
The guys at AMT Netherlands will gladly assist you with advice regarding your 180, eventhough they did not manufacture it. All their pumps, ecu's etc. are also compatible with the US made engines. BUT they cannot repair the ecu as the US engines were using a different chip and they don't have it.
If you need any used bits and pieces, give me a PM.

If you send to AMT NL be ready to pay big bucks for shipping.. Can't get around VAT tax... They are opening all packages and determining value regardless of what you put on declaration.. Kevin T. ( Houston ) said it was gonna be $900.00 for his old USA Olympus to go over.... He passed.... I also understand Carlos doesn't want them either... Bad situation for sure.. If you figure this out, let us know !! Still some us out there !!

Is that how you explain to the passenger's on your Southwest flights how the engines work when you push the gate?? I bet the kids love it !! ... Give it a try !!!
