Nice job Troy! Glad to hear it's back on the road.
GREAT work Troy!! That is awesome mate!! Well done! I am still getting around to my 30K. Perhaps I should just do it at 10 yrs, in 4 yrs time! Again, well done mate. Scott posted the pic that I would have posted!
Hey thanks you guys. It is running incredibly well - I don't know whether its psychological or not but the car just sounds so much better. One sound that is gone is a slight intermittant 'hitching' or 'chirping' noise that I used to have during the warm-up phase. Sure enough it was those darn tensioner bearings (SKF's that had a lot of play). Thanks again for the encouragement.
This is so true - the most brutal part of doing your own service (if you are not experienced with Ferrari's) is that you have to be meticulous with every step from start to finish. One oversight could be disasterous. High-end Ferrari techs really have a lot of responsibility riding on their shoulders. In all seriousness - this wouldn't have happenend without the Brotherhood!
Doing one's own mechanical work doubles -- if not triples -- the driving fun once the repairs have been completed. Can't wait to see your photos.
Thanks Eric and thanks for the kia crank sensor tip - I installed them and they are fine (no error codes!)
Way to go Troy!! I'm pretty sure you are well-read here, so I'm pretty sure you did let the car idle 10-15min without hitting the throttle, etc. after starting. At least that's what I understand is supposed to be done if ECUs are unpowered, such as disconnecting the battery. Have Fun!!
Thanks Rick. I didn't do as thorough a job that you did but I got a pretty good go at it. I did let the motronics go through their learning phase for about 1/2 hour.
No problems at all Pap - its going to be interesting to see how many CEL lights I get this year (got a total of 6 last year). Wouldn't it be nice if those crank sensors were tripping the CEL's.
