Great Possible R.O.T.G....

Driving home from work today, and took a detour on Henry Hudson,
after an hour of driving, oil temp starts going berserk.. bouncing to
red zone/red light.
At stops, it drops to center, then on launch it stops to bounce again.

Could this be electronic related from the new battery CC installed?
or is it what Hubert had with the faulty oil temp. sensor, and that it
needs to be replaced.

Humm..... it was fine before the battery problem/CC... joined you guys
on couple of spirited drives with no problem... not saying anything...
just thinking out loud...

Calling CC tomorrow morning.
Frustrating.
ahh... the joys of Ferrari ownership.

 

Hubert,
can you please PM details of what was wrong with your oil temp., what was
done, and cost of it from CC?

Thanks.

 

Bad oil temp sensor, had the same problem on my car, but it was an oil pressure sensor. same symptoms

 

Hey Rob,
Yeah, thats wht I am hoping for. All these breaking in issues are driving me
nuts.
How was the car show up at Bear Mt.?

 

didn't go, was waiting on word from the CC crew, which i didn't get until 6:30ish

 

??? you were waiting for us?
didnt know that, we, or at least I thought you were going to go to
Bear Mt. regardless of CC, PM me your cell. so wont happen next time.

 

Seems exactly like Hubert's issue. I'm sure it's the same thing.

Speaking of cell numbers, jyc888, PM me yours.

 

Here I thought we were waiting for you at CC.

Crossed signals again. Sorry we missed you.

 

It sounds like a bad sender. Won't be that much of a big deal -- just a nuisance.

 

Too bad, sorry about that, I was asking where you were.

 

CC found that my car had a faulty sender. Here is what they charged me:

1.5 hours labor to run test and find faulty sending unit. r&r sanding unit.

new sending unit $120.48

 

doesnt sound bad at all!!
thanks

 

just curios, if those problems are caught within the 1st 3 yrs(or whatever warranty period is), will it get fixed under warranty for free? or there is no warranty repair whatsoever with Fcars?

 

if the car is under warranty...the repair is fixed for free

 

I dont think Classic Coach does warranty work, you have to go to FLI or WWOC for that

 

Yeah I understand only authorized dealer can do warranty works.
It seems that it might be worthy to get a late '01 or so and still have some warranty coverage left, and try to sort out all known/unknown bugs/problems before warranty expires, unless a '01 demands a much higher price than '99/'00.

 

What's the good word, jyc?

 

Wheww... Just got back from CC.
Had to work this morning, but managed to do a drive by P.R....
didnt see much, didnt think event was so organized that the cars were actually parked inside by the ship.. thought that they would all be double parked on the W.S. Hwy.
Anyway, ran the car to and from CC and no problems. They couldnt run a test on the car, but noticed that oil was low, and that the filter was very dirty. Frank wasnt there, was hoping for some WD-40 action, but Mayur was there, being very nice as usual.
I am taking the car in on tuesday, leaving there for 2 days, for tests, most likely needs an oil change, and a new oil temp. sensor. So not too bad.
As for the run tomorrow, I was given the green light by Mayur and Carlos at CC, but only if I take it easy with the revs/and the gas. So basically I have to run at half-steam.
Emil, dont think I can do a race driving instructional session from you, and if you are fine with a half-steam car, feel free to take shot-gun.
Otherwise I will be there, maybe not speeding up front with Vik/Lupe, but
at least I'll be there!

Sorry for the long post.
Emil, also, got your voicemail. Left Lupes corners at Viks.
Also, let me know when you need the G... no prob in borrowing it for a day.
See you guys tomorrow!

Jon

 

Sweet! Half-steam it is Jon -- I promise we won't take it above 130.

 

Hey Vik,

See you at your place at 7!

 

Sure , that is what you say now! The pictures will tell all tomorrow

 

Sure. I'll give you a static picture. And you guess how fast I'm going. OK?!
