Speedo Issue 348

The speedometer and the odometer on the 348 are electronically driven, there is no mechanical cable at all. The sending unit is mounted on the transaxle case, next to the inner end of the left axle. You can check to make sure its wire connector is solidly plugged in (just in case the PO of your car was leaving it detached in order not to rack up any miles), and you check to see that the twist connector near the top of the left rear shock absorber is tightly attached, but chances are that the sending unit has gone bad. It's pretty common for the sender to go out, more common than problems inside the speedo head itself.

 

Since your new we'll let that slide...Ricambi, Ricambi, Ricambi.

See Daniel AKA Jack Russell Racing here at this site. I expect he'll be chiming in soon but don't wait.

Like Jeff said...check the connection. Mine has come apart twice. I'm not sure why. Seems like its snug

 

The sending unit is Ferrari part #116987, the copper washer is #10263460. You're welcome to shop around for the best price at present, but you're not likely to beat the service from Ricambi. They list the sender for $252, the washer for less than a buck.

 

+1, very likely the sender. Each Ferrari I have owned has had it replaced either by me, or just prior to my ownership. They are made by Veglia....an Italian term for "Pinto"...

Very easy to replace, I did it myself on my 308 and 355.

 

I just had to replace mine last week on my 355

 

It is also a Maserati part(check the inter-changeable parts thread). Heaps cheaper and works perfectly in my car.
