    Hello fellowchatters

    I have searched high and low , asked on a few different threads, etc how to properly flush the f1 fluid but still after months do not have the proper steps to perform such function. Like myself, a number of you have offered thoughts which probably will do the trick but was hoping for a positive proven method. I would say a WSM method but I don't think it is in the WSM since it was thought it would never be needed. At this point I would even consider how Ferrari suggests flushing f1 in a 599 since I think that may be in the wsm. You would think my ask is not big considering many have had it done and by the Indy techs on here but unfortunately I have not been successful.

    Just a note I am speaking about the process using a sdx, autel or x431 tool.

    Any input would be appreciated but am hoping to hear how Ferrari recommends the sequence and process

    Thanks in advance

    Mine is an F430 Spider, not a Scud but I recently had my F1 fluid drained, flushed, bled & system recalibrated by an Indi Mechanic.
    Not bad at all - $400.00 and the F1 system is back in tip top shape.

    Hi Dominick,

    Sorry, I didnt.

    I dropped off my car in the morning, then pick it up the next day and its all done.

    As I mentioned, for $400.00 I think its all worth it as I wouldnt know how to do it, I dont a Leonardo computer and I dont have a lift either.
    $400.00 is very reasonable as the Ferrari dealer is asking $900.00.

    We finally have a great indi mechanic here in Seattle that has a great reputation for doing a great job.

    Hope that helps.
