    Dealer is 90% sure the oil pump in my 07 failed. Has anybody heard of this? It sounded like it was coming from the exhaust, they couldn't fix that, then discovered it could be the oil pump.


    What's the repair cost on something like that (most likely covered by ext. warranty, if not we have a big issue)?


    Thanks,

    Nick

    Way to many variables to guess. What were the symptoms?

    It also seems odd they though it was exhaust. Usually different noises and locations, again depending on your symptoms.

    I have seen failures of the oil pump drive but not common.

    How does an exhaust sound like an oil pump failure?

    They really are not sure if it's the exhaust or oil pump. So far it's been the pump causing the problem. Which makes no sense to me

    The dealer had the car for a month. 2007 model with factory extended warranty. FNA was contacted and initially they said it was the oil line vibrating and for the dealer to check for a factory upgrade which was already on the car. The noise comes on at 3200 RPM for only a few seconds and sounds like a symbol being hit or a snare drum. Its both audible and a noticeable vibration. Now FNA says numerous 599's have this issue yet they tried a new replacement valve that allows oil to the front cooler once the engine is warm. I might add this problem only exists when the car is hot and seems to be more pronounced when cornering. Ferrari has told me thats all they can do, nothing is wrong with the car and just drive and enjoy it. Its an enjoyable car but the noise concerns me as does Ferraris response.
    I contacted two specialty Ferrari mod shops and neither had ever heard of this before and expressed that no one could be expected to live with this.
