    Hi there,

    My 2007 F430 coupe is undrivable due to the "SLOW DOWN" and E-Diff lights going off and the gear going into neutral and am unable to shift gear after that. I have almost got into an accident because of this fault.

    I live in Singapore and am desperately trying to source for the E-Diff solenoid which I understand is the usual suspect for this issue.

    Could any kind soul please direct me to a supplier who could ship this to me? Preferably somewhere with a phone number I could call.

    Thank you in advance!!

    Sorry to hear about your problem. You should take the car to a Ferrari shop so they can pinpoint the issue. Guessing it is the solenoid is not the approach I would recommend. What if it isn't the solenoid?

    You can go to our site sponsor Ricambi for the part (ricambi america).
    On the other hand, you don't want to throw in parts without knowing exactly what is wrong, that can get expensive. A proper diagnosis with an SD2/3 is in order.

    You have to scan the car, is the slow down red or amber, it could be F1 pump losing pressure, Ediff.pressure valve and switch, or even clutch you need to know the percentage of clutch wear,

    For Singapore you could try Official UK Maranello Classic Parts +44 784 436 222

    But as everyone else says it could be something else eg clutch or hydraulic pressure

    That selonoid needs very specific torque when installed so be aware when you install since it seems to be a tough part for you to source

    I had the same problem in my 05 and they wanted $25k for a new F1 system. I traded it in on a new one
