    Dear all,

    As per my previous post, I got the car checked at ferrari geneva and am now the owner.

    I went for a 700km / 400Mi trip down to St Tropez which was a lot of joy.

    Unfortunately on the way, precisely first time I went above 3500rpm in 6th gear, the lambda feelers light came on - 69'500km, 14 years / anyone has experience with lambda feelers change ? anything else could cause? maybe fuel filter?

    Best regards,
    Pierre

    Hi Pierre,
    I am glad you took the car for a long drive, that's what they are meant for
    Sorry to hear you are in trouble with it already
    The 612 does not display lambda sensor faults, so I guess you mean the engine light is on, it can mean many things and not necessarily lambda ( coils, plugs, wires, injectors...)
    My advice is to get it to a Ferrari dealer directly, they will locate the issue, it is likely a small thing so don't worry

    By the way, it would be great if you could post pictures of your car

    Let us know what you find

    The engine light leaves codes so as noted above to have it checked would be useful

    It could be as simple as fuel cap not tight (very common with new owners) or the car simply has not been driven much and the sudden use above 3500 revs surprised the system (over-simplification but its to do with unburnt fuel)

    thanks guys!

    no pictures other than the ones on the truck a few minutes ago :(

    precisely: the car, once connected to the pbd, says missfire 4-5-6

    on way to dealer now - otherwise a GREAT car, I had a blast driving down here and am looking forward to have it back up and running

    will keep you guys posted
