here are pictures from the dash removal I have a defog switch issue along with a temp sensor issue which is sending the information to a computer on the dashboard so, all of that had to be removed to access the computer while it was out the dash was able to be repaired where it separated it looks new I got the clutch re done with Tribco Clutch Lining Material a much better product
Image Unavailable, Please Login should be getting my 2004 575 back this week after going through the car front to back new clutch everything I am selling the cats from my 575 the car had 27K on it when I took them off see the attached picture if you own a 575 and drive it this is for you since you can't get the cats anymore let me know if you are interested
i was able to re stretch the dash leather over the glove box so I will not need a new dash this was done when I did the dashboard work I got lucky
well, my latest 575 had the same issue as the black one I have a video of the failure, but I can't download on this forum if you want to see it email me at [email protected] I will send it to you if you own a 550/575 YOU WILL HAVE THIS FAILURE if you drive the car long enough
Frick...sorry to hear Clyde. With regard to Rifledrivers post , were both cars serviced by the same person?
@Clyde Romero i am super frustrated for you and I was genuinely looking forward to more updates on this new car and the future adventures. How many miles on the current one? May we have the chassis number so we can follow it? Does this one also get sold and you move on to another 575? Would you ever consider doing a 599?
No but its happening a lot because of the several TSBs with conflicting and incorrect information on procedure. I was in the largest dealer service department and in all the years never saw a single failure. A few noisy bearings but never even a loose one. Now we are hearing about total failures. I have one on the schedule for belts. He has nearly 100,000 miles and original bearings. I was planning on replacement just because. V12 belts are wide and have a solidly mounted tensioner. If they are over tightened the lower drive will be seriously overloaded.
Brian, for posterity, would you mind posting the correct and incorrect criteria? It may help some of the V12 group to avoid disaster by a simple confirmation with prospective specialists...
