Il Co-PilotA is correct. The manual says you can pull the lever while the car is moving. I don't know why I got the Depress Brake Pedal alert...
You won't find any sign of leakage. All of the leaks are internal to the system with any brake fluid ending up in the booster.
E-brake did not work in my case. After rolling to a stop, and to prevent rolling backwards on a slight incline, I pulled to E-brake. I got a...
Yeah, my 488 Spider had been in for its annual just 5 or 6 months prior. All is good until its not.
The 458 and 488 use p/n 248907 (right hand drive) or 244010 (left hand drive). I believe both the Pista and F8 use p/n 272613.
Most of the failures appear to be a leakage of a small quantity of brake fluid, enough to interfere with proper operation of the booster but not...
I think they are related. The 458 and 488 use the exact same brake cylinder/booster. Most of the 458 "hard pedal" failures were a small leak...
Be aware that the NHTSA has issued a recall notice concerning the multitude of 458/488 brake failure issues that have been noted.
The older 458 failures seemed to mostly be small amounts of brake fluid leaking into the brake vacuum booster. However, several 488's, including...
Was on Block Island 30-some odd years ago. Watched a guy in a float plane make several aborted take off runs from LI sound toward Block Island....
Well, Ferrari reports that the failure was the Master Cylinder leaking into the vacuum side. I hope this means there was no spillage external to...
Well, definitely low brake fluid. Checked the reservoir while waiting for Ferrari roadside assistance to show up and it was empty. Not sure...
Was driving my 2018 488 Spider this morning and the Low Brake Fluid warning popped up. Within a mile or two, the brakes failed completely, as in...
If you think your paint is smooth and doesn't need claying, try putting your hand in a plastic baggie and then running your hand over the paint....
If its any help, here's a Fuoco/Cuoio spider. I like the combo but may give you an idea if you want to go darker or lighter. [ATTACH]
Lousy thing to have to deal with. I do a detailed walk-around video of my 488 front to back, top to bottom, inside and out the morning of a...
The front splitter is 4 3/4" but as Ray notes, the piece at the back of the splitter (what looks like an l-shaped piece of black steel) is only 3...
40 years ago, my Alfetta GT was known to bury the speedometer on occasion. Older and wiser now.
No need to do anything but listen to Shaun. Had the garage in my newly built home done 6 years ago. Floors ground, 100% solids epoxy, chips, and...
I've had the Interstate in my 488 for 2 years now. No issues but I also keep the car on the tender 24/7 when not driving the car. If your...
