Jeff,
I just had my 30K done and yes Timing Belts are due. Not so much by the manual but by necessety.
My belt was feeling lose and some of the pullies are making noise. I had the waterpump replaced at the same time, preventive. With that little driving you may want to consider that as well.
Do a full freshup service and feel save. Engine comes out and is completely looked over.
BTW along what Frank said, you should start ot drive and enjoy your car. Your value is insignificantly higher than my 33,500 mile 1991 348Ts. Since I am driving mine day in day out it has not given me any problems. |

I agree. Change it NOW ! When the 348 came out Ferrari put a 52,500 miles or 3 year estimated life on the cam belt. You're living on borrowed time. And, once you get it changed, start driving the car. With less than 1,000 miles a year, do you realize what you're paying per mile to own the car !!!! |

Jeff 10 years. I would be seriously thinking of changing the belts because of time not mileage. As to the other recommended service, check your owners manual, it is outlined there. |

My '93 348 (built July '92) has 9,100 miles on it. Do you guys think I should be losing sleep over timing belt replacement? How long can I wait before it must be done and what other service is recommended while the engine is dropped? Thanks |
