Uhhhh Duhhhh.
Sorry Rob, I found them.
There is a 15k service outlined at expensivecar.com as well as several other "routine" maint. issues. Click on the word Ferrari. Some questions can be answered there. |

Rob, do you know if Monty also transferred all the files from the Online Service Manual? I was over looking for it, and all I seem to get are the threads. At the opening page, we used to choose between the manual, or a technical question. I realize this must be a pain in the patooty for you, so thanks for all your help in maintaining the area. |

The archives are available on this site under "Research." Anything that wasn't a post should still be available still at expensivecar.com.
Let me know if problems finding it. |

The manual states at every 30K mi. to replace belts, but time is not specified. Of all the postings made before on this and other sites have belt replacement at 2 to 4 years. They can last longer (I think mine were changed about twelve yrs. ago! I only have a few records and they never showed up in any of them), but the risk is too great.
The owner's manual has a fold-out page which lists all service intervals. |

Thanks Paul, but I changed the cam belts, seals and idlers 200 miles ago when I adjusted the valves. I rechecked the index marks 3 times before I put the valve covers back on. Everything is correctly done.
Thanks again. |

This may not be a thorough answer to your question, but if there is ANY chance that your cam belts are original, GET BUSY REPLACING THEM !
Mileage is only one part of the equation. Time, especially a rarely driven car, can result in an entirely different type of degredation.
You should replace the cam belts, tensioner bearings, cam shaft seals, and adjust the valves (involves replacing shims). Other than this, I am sure you would probably want to do things like distributor tune-ups, plugs, maybe wires, fuel filter, etc. This is only if those things have not been done in recent years.
Hopefully you have service records so you can tell if the cam belts and bearings have been replaced. These are the items that can cost you THOUSANDS of dollars if you have a failure. Plugs and wires, for example, will only cost you performance.
If you have an owners manual, it will also tell you what is expected at 30k.
I just (last week) finished doing all of the above to my 308QV. It had only been 7k miles since done before, but it had been 6 years.
Best of luck. |
