Question for F1 owners

PM Juri, he is the man for this and from what i understand he can offer the pump as a separate part

my car has been fitted with another 12100035 part number valve
and it is being configured. my mechanic claims it did the deed. but i will not know until i test it for a while after i pick it up

not sure what you refer to as being pricy for the pump, but perhaps you confused it with the whole f1 unit (inc. pressure accumulator and solenoids).. i got my 360 pump from daniel for $800 and the adapter was $550 i think

your car seems to MAYBE have that issue
so my advice is:
try sourcing a 12100035 solenoid valve from another car to test
if it takes care of the problem, pray that Juri and his efforts end fruitful

until then, enjoy the car and GOOD LUCK BROTHER

 

If it is the electric motor you should have blown a fuse somewhere along the way from overheating. Juri has explained that pretty well for me in a PM that was quite detailed. It does not sound like your electric motor has done that.

Instead it seems you simply lose pressure over time and as things heat up. That would be the pump itself and not the motor that drives it. Cant buy just the pump....so here comes the 360 option.

If I recall, you are blessed to be located close to Bradan. A stop there for a pressure check of the pump and SD review of the error codes would seem to be a logical next step.

There was a thread on here a couple of years ago about replacing just the motor on the pump. Turns out it can be done cheaply (relative term in Ferrariland). Let me see if I can dig up the thread. I think this is it but there may be more.

On my 1999 355 F1, I have an original F shield protecting the pump (near the left exhaust pipe). Can post picture if needed.

 

hi ,,,
i am planning to buy F355 with F1, i was looking for manual but i didnt find a clean one !
i found low milage spider F1, but i am worrying about the problems on the F1 ! is that bad to be a reason not to go for that car ? and how much is the F1 pump for F355 and 360 ?

many thanks

 

Please don't open that door

The F1 owners will tell you they are great, the manual guys will tell you to avoid the flappy paddles and the non-owners will tell you to buy a car for $35K and not a penny more.

 

We have the 360 F1 pump and Hill Engineering F355 "retrofit kit" to allow the pump to work in the F355. The two pieces together are less than $1200.

 

thank you guys, just hope for me to finish the deal !

 

Hi,,,

Please could you tell me whether juri's relay and ricambi america relay are the same ?

I mean both can be fitted with original F355 pump ? Or one for F355 pump and the other is for 360 pump which is can be fitted using the adaptor ?

Regards

 

Hi,,,

As you stated that 50 amp relay does not match the 30 amp, any advice how to fit it ? And are recambi America and juri's relays are the same ? And are they both can be fitted on either original F355 motor or 360 pump with adaptor ?

Thanks
