With the troubles at Thielert slowly coming to a head, current engine owners are banding together to take action. At the center of this is the THielert ENgine Owners Group (THENOG), where engine owners are getting together to mount some sort of action. Their approach is to establish the cumulative value of their combined engine warranties, earning them a spot on the german insolvency board as a creditor. This would give them some clout in recouping their engines lost value.

Another avenue for relief is being offered by the editors of DieselAir, who are offering their website up as a forum for Thielert owners to trade parts and service in an effort to combat skyrocketing prices. If you're a current owner please drop us a comment letting us know what you're doing to get through this... other than shopping for a new engine...
