    Do both water rads always come on at the same time? I'm running warmer than I used to in stop and go traffic. Only the passenger side fan can be felt running.Thanks in advance.

    Yeah they should. Put your hands in front of the front wheels, you should feel air being forced through the grills in front of the front wheels when both when fans come on.

    I had exactly same issue (Drivers side fan failed on RHD car). Ferrari sell a complete new fan assembly. Hope your car is LHD and you need the other side!!! The drivers side is a ba$tard to remove. I had to remove the air con pipes as the AC radiator is on that side! To make matters worse they were completely corroded on and I had to cut them off. Removed the hoses and had new ends fitted on them by the "Hose Doctor". Bumper has to come off regardless of which side you need but thats not a big job.

    From memory the fan assembly was £250.00. I'd certainly get it changed ASAP these engines run hot at the best of times and I certainly replaced mine as soon as I noticed the issue. Good luck.

    No they shouldn't. The RH fan is switched on first, then the LH fan, in addition, if required.
    The reverse when the car is cooling down, LH fan stops before the RH fan.

    This is what I would have said from the top of my head.

    Before changing out fans, check your temp sensors.. There are two of them. Probably cost $20 max for each one.

    Never owned a ferrari that i didn't have to change them on. They go bad all the time.
