I had my cooling system completly checked just last week by the official Ferrari dealer as I experienced similar high temperature in stop and go...
One of the issues with 550's overheating is that some of us just don't see high temps living in SoCal by the beach. Right now we are having a...
Let's see some pics of your progress...
Yes, I would agree. But the 328 just a bit more than the 308. I've not owned a 550 but everything I hear about the 550 from the dealer service...
I agree. The Vanquish didn't feel solid. Felt ponderous.
added a thing of coolant and now it runs fine! the oil was not low it was between min and max when i checked with the engine warmed up. (now its...
No. The valley small hoses are not a known problem. They are a known maintenance item like brake pads. The problem is people cheap out and...
Not sure if this has been discussed, but has anyone actually used an external temperature reading device? I had 550 that showed it was running...
Some bedding recommendations I've seen are pretty complicated. I like Pagids... 35 mph for half mile holding brakes a little. Drive another...
Nice post, thanks.... The issues below I imagine are just age related correct? My nearly 20 year old Diablo Roadster had to have all gaskets,...
Fengtau..methinks the 'ubat' for the 456 are : - Junk the electro suspension. Change to Motons or Bilsteins PSS series (ada ke?) - Re-leather...

Many of those upgrades were applied to the 550/575 as well. Taz's 575 suffers no overheating issues, however there are numerous 550 owners who...
Mine does not overheat, it reaches maybe 100C in slow traffic and hot days (and AC on). Things have improved a lot by lowering the antifreeze...
Thanks Taz! I'll look for that thread. Brakes? Who needs brakes? I thought the 550 was a momentum car like the miata. I just drive...
Hello thibaut, Just wondering if you changed your fans to the new spal units? Im planning to do that but was it rectified by changing the...
So maybe you need the smaller pulley with the 8 blade impeller? Anyway I have zero problems cooling the 550. It will idle in traffic all day...
Coolant typically boils over 300F. The more water or antifreeze and less coolant, that can lower. But at 239/115 you should not be boiling in a...
i am going to take it in monday but i was hoping its something i can do like add some coolant or something so i can drive it tomorrow! the cats...
I have heard that a few companies actually put head hunters out at the Ring looking for rental cars. I heard though, that it was companies like...
