456 Service Kit

Recently put the car through a major service. Since the dealership in Saudi doesnt hold the parts I picked them all up in London. Just in case you were wondering what it consists of...

2 X Air filters
2 x Fuel filters
2 x Oil Filters
1 X Pollen Filter
12 X Spark Plugs
2 x Cambelts
2 x Cambelt bearings
2 x Belts (I'll check invoice tomorrow)
1 x Belt (again I'll check invoice)

Dealer supplied Oil and a new battery.

In addition when I get the car to London I'll be changing 3x Gearbox filters and Gearbox oil. I'll pull out the invoice tomorrow and post up the prices.

Unfortunately I forgot to collect those while in the UK, and the dealer doesnt stock. The car is being shipped to the UK in a week so this work will be completed there.

 

I should mention also that Im a bit annoyed with Eurospares that they didnt tell me at the time I needed this. I told them I was having a major service done and that I needed everything but the oils. Then it was only when I was in Saudi that I realised it was needed, and although the dealer said he would order it, but the time the parts arrived the car would have been on a ship. So bizzarely I will have to get some bits done in the UK.

Even here it is not mentioned, but I actually went there to see them so there should not have been any confusion.

Also if ever you are ordering a kit from Eurospares be warned that the cambelts in their kit are not Ferrari branded but Dayco branded. I had to pay extra for the Ferrari branded ones. Not worth cutting corners really.

 

Cheers Aamir. Good question. PPI didnt mention it (other than cambelt change was needed), and neither did Eurospares. So when we realised we didnt have the complete parts the dealership did the oils, filters and two belts. Cambelts will be done when I return to UK, so I guess the dealer there can decide if they need changing too. My guess is the dealer will probably say yes too!

One thing that I just remembered is I picked up the cambelt bearings from Joe Macari (official Ferrari in London) and they didnt mention it either! Hmmmm.

 

I prefer original to be honest. Plus im not going to be driving this on the limit where i need a bit of extra power. Are you running K&N filters? do you notice much difference, and any downside?

 

Thanks for that. Thats really interesting as I didnt realise that about the K&N filters. Well the new ones are in now, so I guess maybe next time.
