Yeah, I think the hose might have been cut in order to get it to fit. Not sure I can push it back on now that it's been cut flat. [ATTACH]
I think I might have found the problem. I think one of the solenoids must be for the valve. The pipe that connects to the bottom of the blue T is...
Apologies, didn't mean to come across as dismissive. Just recognising my own technical limitations!
If it's gone wrong, it was the garage's doing. I'm happy for them to do the work to correct their mistake ;)
Did a "rev test" today and the valve rod doesn't move. Sent all the info back to the garage to see what they think.
Some observations... With the engine off and cold, I can locate the valve and move it. Obviously I don't know how much resistance there should be....
Hmm... this is all a little worrying. I felt I couldn't continue with the OEM manifolds in case they split and ruined the engine. I thought I'd...
Let's go with "unlikely" then :). I'd like to think these mechanics would have, say, forgotten to re-attach something, but you never know.
Had a chat with the Ferrari mechanics who did the manifold replacement work. They think that the Tubi has a higher flow rate than the OEM, so the...
Just got it back form a major service, so would that be possible? I think I'd assumed that they failed over time, but I'll give it a check over...
5.2. I think everything is stock except the exhaust (which is Remus, I believe) and now the manifolds.
Thanks Mitchell. Isn't that the whole reason for the exhaust bypass "flap", though? Manageable when you just want to cruise, but F1 character when...
Hi all, Bless me, forum, it has been some years since my last post ;). Interested to see if anyone else has experience this please... Just...
What a SUPERB set of videos! They answered so many of my questions - thank you. So, what did I learn? Firstly, LTFT +/- 5% aren't even worth...
Ah, ok. So now that the SDL is off, there's no need to look any further at the Cat ECUs. Regarding the trims, I'm still not sure where to look next.
Yes, it's a 5.2. Is the 3rd one the same design as the other 2? Don't suppose you have a photo do you please?
Hi all, Car has been running faultlessly since getting it back from Carrs Exeter a few months ago. Then last Saturday I got the SDL as soon as it...
Major Update Well, the good news is that I now have the car back, and it's purring like a (slightly angry) kitten. My local Ferrari dealer did a...
Garage is called Supercar Italia, based at Biggin Hil in England.
Silly question... if the garage wants to charge 9 hours to replace both banks, but in 1 cylinder is problematic, any reason i shouldn't ask them...
