    I purchased a replacement Tyco TCU relay and planned to install it today. I was surprised to find a Siemens relay in the car. The relay is labeled V-23134-B57-X209. I have searched this forum and the internet in general and can not find any available references for this Siemens part. Do any of you know if it can be OEM? If not, any ideas? The car has only been to Ferrari dealerships (FoS and Tonkin) for service.

    BTW, I left the Siemens part in the car until I get more info on it. The car only has 4200 miles and given the advice from others on the boards I will replace it in the spring. Car was unfortunately "put to bed" today given the soon to arrive snow here in the inland northwest.

    The early 360F1 models were euqipped with that old Siemens relay, which is identical to that produced by Tyco. However, the Siemens relay has internal switch contacts made of an aloy with lower melting point, as compare to Tyco relay. I have writen several posts on this topic previously, so please search the forum.

    Thanks Juri. I did search this forum but for some reason the search engine did not pick up any references to Siemens.
