I'm a happy guy ! My 348 is back hom after more than 1 year of restoration. The car was in south of France (1000km from my house in Luxembourg). The guy (Carrosserie Hervé in Allauch) made a fantastic job... I'm so happy! The car drive very well and all the features work! But when the engine is hot, it has a lot of difficulties to start.... It seems to be a common problem on the 348. Is it true? Do you have any solutions? Thank you so much
Hot start issues may be related to a needed re-pack of kluber grease in the flywheel, whether due to time and use or another root cause such as triple seals. It could also be a relay, fuel pressure, etc. Any other symptoms that you experience? Any grease or fluid seeping from the lower pumpkin vent plate or rattle at hot shut-off? Plenty have experienced hot start issues, so there are threads that guide through solutions and some other diagnostic procedures to narrow the possibilities for cause. Post some photos of the restoration process, would love to see.
Hi Marc, as you've said specifically 'hot' starts my immediate thoughts were as Matt's first suggested possibility, so flywheel loss of some Kluber grease.
