355 F1 problem FIXED by Eugenio!!!!

I'd be going back to the place that replaced the pump to get that part back. You know it's still good and you might need it at some point.

 

E is da man! A true "specialist" and the reason why I drive my 355 like it's a Honda.

 

I'm so sorry to hear all this !!! Its not who you are Its who you know !!!

 

I suffered a similar problem with my first 355, the F1 system would drop into N at random times leaving me stranded pending a reset. The service centre tried many times to fix it but in the end (after 6 or so frustrating months) I returned the car and purchased my current 355. The dealer think they have sorted the problem now, they said there was an overlap in the gear change graph in the control unit, they altered the map and feel this has fixed the problem, trouble is it has not been tested thoroughly enough to be certain. The next owner will be the guinea pig.

Glad to hear Eugenio has solved your problems. Here's to many trouble free 8000rpm shifts!

 

:YAWN:

Let's meet at VCR again

Aint that the truth!

 

VCR is too far of a drive for me ................ if you ever work at your new store on a Saturday we can meet at Cars & Coffee in Irvine at 09:00am !

 

Not the same problem but fixed by myself and good to have handy should you need to.

Do they STILL have the black 355 for sale James??

 

Yep, its the only one to have sat for that long. Must be getting cheaper by the day now.....

 

Hehe!

Man, hate to ask you again as I think I have done so in the past at least twice now.......but how much is the black one selling for again??

Also, is it for sale online anywhere?? Can I have a link please if there is one?

Cheers brother.

 

To me, E is WAY more than a Ferrari Tech. I'm proud to call him my friend!

I would guess you could get a very sharp price on it, but its not a good one, better to get your hands on a nice 355, this one is trouble waiting to happen. (Did I ever mention the dash falling off into my lap? Or that when I brought it *after the PPI* the passenger seat was not bolted in, or the rattling baffle in the gas tank....or the stereo wiring that has been chopped and rejoined....or the alarm siren that doesn't work...or.....respray.....the list is long my friend)

 

Thanks brother!! That car is around AU $110K! By the time it gets imported, would cost the same to buy one here I reckon.

And then at least I would get a good car if I bought one locally.

Unless I make a CRAZY offer on it!! Who knows how low they will go.

 

You'll also get the NZ VAT/GST (12.5% I think) taken off the final agreed price if the car is being exported.

 

So you take 12.5% off the $110K?

Mmmmmmmmmm.........starting to sound a little more tempting.

 

Yes, thats my understanding - I looked at bringing in a car from them about 12 months ago

 

Ah, cool! Thanks mate!
