Some TLC for my QV

I overhauled mine and reused all the original plugs and redid just the cables and connectors with high quality ones.
The thread with pictures and links must be around somewhere here.

 

Happy New Year to all!

The Mondial did 5'935 mls in 2024, despite me being overseas for about 6 months.

When I measured the sunroof tube for Michel and had the trim panel off I finally repositioned the access hole for the emergency handle, which was off by too much to be useful:

I wonder if there has been a bad batch of these. I replaced the faulty sensor on my QV in the summer and it failed completely after 15 miles. Eurospares were very good though and sent out a replacement.

 

Paul that sounds just like it...

 

... passenger window regulator wire snapped. I don't know at the moment if it slipped out of the ferrule at the spool or snapped along its length. Window propped up with a wooden support until I find time to do the repair.

Testing a custom-made car cover. It "fits" but not well or as intended.
Not sure if we can work with this supplier as they don't follow the supplied patters.

Bon voyage!

 

Fascinating to see - Best of luck with the rest of the voyage - look forward to see driving shots in Switzerland!

Would anyone know the
- manual number
- Euro or US version
of the Mondial t manual that used to be available online?

Not the same but also WSM Mondial t

This is for Volume 1 https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/ferrari/95990885?id=43749

This is for Volume 2....https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/ferrari/95990951?id=42230

or more volumes...https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/search?SearchText=Workshop+manual+mondial+t

 

I am doing the t wiring diagram that was included in that pdf, but there is no reference to which car it belongs - which is useful information. It includes side markers on the index pages so I suppose it's for the US version. I'll understand more once I have all sheets marked.

Almost home ! Are you going to drive your car to Schweiz or in/on a trailer ?
The wiring diagram in that Pdf is for all models I believe. US, Eu, CH,J, SA...

 

Guido no I can't do that. The container incl. the car must be imported officially and at the same time so it's considered moving household belongings=tax free, and the car given the corresponding papers for registration.

I will analyse the t diagrams when I have them named (not codes for items) and complete to see if they cover all versions.
There would have to be multiple diagrams for the same system and I'll only see that once they're done.

 

So do you have to remove the entire dash to get at the shell of the glove box? Trying to replace my faulty Hella socket

 

I guess you can loosen the side of the dash and pull it forward enough to access the nut of the socket.

 

Yes sir, I will try that later today. Thanks!

FChat people - if you have a model that Afterburner lists above, get his wiring diagrams as they are invaluable in understanding your car's wiring and more importantly, fixing you car's wiring and electrical gremlins (and who doesn't have some electrical gremlins?)

 

I would never have been able to rewire my 12V system without Afterburner's diagrams.
Totally worth it to replace my fuse panel with a more modern one.

 

Thank you Joe and Gunn!
