    So I took the 355 out today and found some issues. As I started to look at them, I figured, "what the hell, I'll take pictures". Here's a PDF of the my effort to shut down the suspension light. I know this one is really simple, but after speaking to my brother-in-law, I realize that some guys have issues changing a flat tire. Anyway, if there are suggestions or requested additions, please let me know. Oh, I also appended the DTC code chart as an appendix. Can't attach it here since it's too big: http://trentonline.com/pdfs/FerrariF355DIY.pdf

    Thanks for the pictures of the shock absorbers actuator. I have hopefully no need to open mine but it is good to see how it fail.

    The DTC list is probably from a F360 (with Motronic ME7.3). Some of the generic engine DTC (P0) are applicable to the F355 5.2, but not all of them, and the specific ones (P1) may be completely different. I have never seen a DTC list dedicated to F355. Would be nice to have one.

    Absolutely correct. I'll put in a disclaimer, but it did help me diagnose issues with the cat ECUs in the past.

    Hi Waren,

    Any chance to still have access your manual? (link doesn't work anymore, maybe you can PM it to me?)

    I think I'll need it because I've started to have the same symptomps of suspension lights going on from time to time.
    Would be really very helpfull.
    Many Thanks,
    Stef

    Thanks so Waren, it worked well and, whaaaw, your DIY guide is just great and very helpfull!

    I have only one question. I couldn't find any info how to access the front actuators. It may seem to be a stupid question but until now, I've never removed the carpet parts in the front boot. I prefer to take some advice first before starting to remove any kind of screw in this area. Do you have any helpfull advice on how to get access to the front dampers? Thanks so much.
    Stef
