2000 Euro 360 campaigns

belt service, camshaft variators. if you want, PM to me and I will forward the tech bulletin to your email address for the variators.

 

Just becuase its a 2000 doesn't mean it *must* need variators.

I have a 2000 US car and the dealer tells me that my VIN does not fall within the range of VINs that Ferrari claims requires this fix.
I thought it a bit odd, but I have faith in what the dealer tells regarding this.

US vs. Euro might be the difference with this though?
And I'm unsure if a dealer will balk at sharing much info with you since it IS a Euro (they behave a little "funny" that way from my experience).

 

Timing variator and tensioner replacement campaign 97. Engine numbers below 60796 and vin range 114015 123399.

 

FNA won't have much, if anything, on a euro. They don't maintain the records. SO, the only way to know about campaigns is to have service records. Things you will likely bump into are variators & ring gear. The tensioner upgrade should have been done when the major was done. Look at the service and you will see tensioners in the parts list, that verifies that they were replaced.

There was also a recall for a battery cable. All other campaigns are fairly minor. For example, you will probably need campaign 148, it adds a required ground pin the the OBD port. They can do that while you wait and it costs very little but ask that they do it before you pick the car up.

Note: dealers will do the work BUT they won't do campaigns for free. That means you want/need to get them done before you purchase the car or it is cash out of pocket for you. The dealers will do recalls for free, even on a euro, so the battery cable issue isn't a big thing. FNA can and will tell you about recalls.

Check the engine/vin to verify if the variators are required. If they are done there will be a VD stamped on the head. I can post a link where RayJohn posted photos.

If the clutch has been replaced they will have replaced the flywheel and ring gear. These were upgraded from 3 bolts to 6 bolts. The only way to tell is with records or to take it all apart.

If you have specific questions on euros please feel free to PM me. I have a euro Spider and will answer what I can.

 

Ah yes `148 aka the "Ferrari got busted campaign".

 

Can't get a smog machine in CA to read your OBD without this either. If you don't do it, you go to the referee again, and again, and again.
