CSL DD 8NM possible overheating failure ???

diego ramos bao

I have a csl dd 8nm and when I am using it for more than 30 min, it begins to be noticed as a very annoying high-frequency electricity in the steering wheel, as if it had an assisted steering, something very uncomfortable. It only happens when you use it for a long time, if you stop the car for 5 minutes, it works fine again, but you use it and the problem returns. I see that this has happened to more people, I have tried everything and nothing, I just need try the fan to the base, but another base just like a friend has doesn't happen to him and he doesn't have any fan to the base so I'll send it to warranty to see

There were others who reported of heat issues with the csl dd sometime ago and they went through warranty. Unfortunately I think you may have to go through that as well.

Hi Diego,

It certainly doesn't sound normal. The CSL DD should not require a fan in any situation, even after hours of heavy use.

I can use mine fore 3-4 hours at a time and have never felt a tempature increase. Not even the slightest.

The pcb board is seriously heated, 1. The fanatec design is defective, using a plastic back cover instead of an aluminum alloy back cover, resulting in heat accumulation, 2. The production quality of the pcb board is a problem, and the temperature of the capacitor and the chip increases under the condition of full load. Heat accumulation, This cannot be solved by the driver firmware. This is a hardware problem. If an external fan is added to the back cover to cool the pcb, the symptoms can be relieved fanatce, and a very immature product has been produced, and the after-sales service is still very troublesome.
