    I've noticed some clear rubbers on the doors.

    When the door is closed, these rubbers go against the black sealing rubber.

    Are the clear rubbers original or did someone put them there?[​IMG][​IMG]

    Hello!

    I've been playing with the BOSE, loading part of my playlist. However, no mater what I do, it doesn't mention the song name/artist, etc..

    I've searched on the manual but it doesn't states much...The manual is very lame.

    Does someone knows how to save the music (thru the USB port) in such a way so it displays the song info?

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    My 612 is currently at Ferrari shop (2008 612 with 15000km), these are the identified items that need attention:

    TO do:
    - 1x fuel pump - developed a crack on the cover (i noticed because of the smell) - is it frequent?
    - rear wheel tie rods - there was play on one side
    - purge braking system - jut because

    Thinking about it:
    -valve cover oil leak - car had the belts changed 2 years ago! Its a small leak so maybe i´ll wait until next year and change belts too (??) - comments?
    - small leak on the steering box
    - front ball joints - minor minor play, i will leave it until it gets worst

    Last service was done by June 2015.

    I really love the car, leak or no leak :)

    All normal stuff. Problem with waiting on the oil leaks is it's tricky topping off a dry sump oil system.

    I like that key ring, need to look for one of those.
    My tie rods also needed doing. I think they must make them out of liquorice?

    I believe Ferrari changed the design of the rear tie rods - sturdier.

    The new ones are different from the ones I had on the car.

    I had to replace one of mine on my 2008 OTO last fall for the very same reason. Of course it had to be the more expensive one with fuel gauge attached. :(

    This photo shows the fuel actually squirting out (taken by Steve at AMNE).

    Big problem on the 550, fixed on the 575M, reoccurring on the 612/599. Progress. At least for the 550, aftermarket metal covers are now available that fix that problem for good. Naturally, they do not fit a 612/599

    I replaced both at the same time for good measure.

    Thought about it, and we had a close look ok the remaining one. It looks ok.

    Apparently there is no failure pattern, so we chose not to change.

    Let's see...
