The temperature 'issue' is more interesting atm.

Having gone through the
Battle of Britain Then and Now Mk V I can say that 33 Hurricanes and Spitfires were lost or damaged through non-combat related engine failure, while 43 Bf 109s were lost or damaged because of non-combat related engine failure between 10 July and October 31. Given the relative strengths of the aircraft types this would be a fairly even attrition rate.
