Who has the most trouble free miles on their original PTUs

I am negotiating the purchase of a 2012 FF with 20K miles. Based on all of the FChat posts on the problematic PTUs, I am wondering who has put the most miles on their FF before servicing/replacing their PTUs.

 

miles are less relevant - its more due to time, lack of ptu fluid change - just plan on it happening if you keep the car.

fwiw mine went at 40k miles, after 11 or 12 years...i was replacing the ptu fluid every 5 or 6 years. now ill do it every 3

 

When we talk about PTU fluid would you differentiate between the 2 it always confuses me ,

 

There are 2 fluids?

 

Yeah I think there is one in the ptu itself and one for the actuating mechanism. It’s been a while since I looked at the wsm tho

 

wld do however many there are

 

here is the table from the wsm with the ptu fluids in red boxes.

It's a "when" not "if" type scenario with the PTU, I reckon.

In my opinion it's the DCT sensors that are the bigger problem and just as costly. Also, there's no way of knowing until it's too late. Awful design by Getrag and Ferrari.

 

I'm at 81k miles, no problem with the PTU.

 

I sold mine at 42k km (26k miles) without any PTU issue.

 

I’m at 30k miles and no issues. I am going to change the ptu fluid in the next few weeks, curious what we will find in there. Hopefully nothing out of the ordinary

 

2012 28k miles..

 

My FF had 15k miles PTU problem free. My Lusso had PTU changed at about the same mileage. I think it is random

 

40k no issues so now I'm pretty terrified haha

But I did have speed sensors go in 2023 and that was an annoying use of 10k

 

Did the speed sensors at about 40k km/25k miles, approaching now 30k miles without PTU issue , idem Vee I'm beginning pretty terrified!

 

Ditto on my 2014 on time and mileage. Also ditto on me changing oil there now every 2-3 years. Cheap service, just do it.

 

Definitely changing my ptu oil this annual

 

Didn't noticed you sold your Lusso Max, for another Ferrari or soon?
