My 575M is here! Calm my nerves that its suppose to sound like this

From the sound in your recording, something seems off. Have it checked out before you drive it...

 

Personally, I would change all the fluids on her just to get a baseline. The whining could be caused by the wrong transaxle oil. Should be 75W-90 Synthetic GL5 and no telling what someone put in there.

 

Can't get the file to play but when my 575 makes increased "mechanical noises from the engine, it turns out to be a bearing associated with the cam belt drive. My first experience with bad bearings was at 2 years of age and 10,000 miles and several since then.

 

Before everyone goes all worst case scenerio... was this video from a cold start? Was your secondary air pump running? In my 456 the secondary air pump is loud and makes a significant and unique noise that doesn't sound particularly satisfying. But after 90 seconds or so it turns off and motor noise is good.

 

I would recommend a gear oil flush as well. I use 5L of the following. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QL31M3O?linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&tag=sofferscom1-20

When you do the gear oil flush, also replace the f1 relay.

See this for reference: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/best-gear-oil-for-a-f1-575.653223/

I change mine every 2.5-3 years or so (between majors)

Sounds like it also needs a major but bearing sound will be coupled to engine RPM speed regardless of gear.

Both should be done regardless.

 

Are you near the place of service? Can you have them take another look?

 

That sounds like a belt-related bearing, but the video makes hard by nature to locate the source.

If you sit in the car with the windows closed, can you still hear it? Does it change with engine speed when you open the throttle?

The air pump makes a high pitch noise for 2 min 35 sec on a cold start up, very different from the sound in the video.

 

The clutch is always open when you are stopped with F1, regardless of gear selected or neutral, and the throw-out bearing is a constant contact type.

These are pretty noisy engines. Lots of stuff going on down there.

 

Some comments about your post #7. Good, quality, reputable Ferrari repair shops automatically change the auxiliary drive belt tensioners when doing a belt job. In 48 years now in the Ferrari service business clients who come in and tell me I have Carte Blanche to make their car perfect because it is being sold are less common than unicorns. It is always "do it the cheapest way you can". Its why I advocate in 100% of the transactions to get a purchase discount in the amount of the cars deficiencies and have it done by your guy to your standards. Too much downside to the possibilities to a noise around the front of the motor. Do not drive it and get it to a real live competent Ferrari mechanic now and quit the internet guess-a-thon.

 

my 575 doesnt sound like that

with Brian's expertise not listing any possibilities speaks volumes and i would heed his advice

 

This following excerpt from your post is one of the greatest acquisition “truths”.

Per @Rifledriver : Its why I advocate in 100% of the transactions to get a purchase discount in the amount of the cars deficiencies and have it done by your guy to your standards.

 

I knew it. Well done. I like the plastic tensioner pulleys on the 575/612, which must be lighter than the steel ones on the 456/550 though do not seem adaptable because of different other parts in the loop. Has anyone tried the upgrade?

 

Order at least 1 spare bearing to go with that too

 

For the half pound difference in a 2 ton car I prefer the steel pulleys. The bearings can be replaced with quality parts ensuring better reliability than being saddled with the factory cost consciousness giving us 3rd world quality at aerospace prices.

 

I was more thinking about a very slight decrease in the power lost through ancillaries, but in practice should make zero difference on such engines. Being able to replace the bearing alone rather the whole pulley each time is definitely an advantage.

 

I knew exactly what you were talking about and I rejected it because as you pointed out it is pointless.
I focus on a quality product, not promises of rainbows and unicorns.
