Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 550 Marenello

[Dave Handa (dave]

There are a number of threads on ferrarichat.com

The problem areas seem very few, by Ferrari standards:

1) Weak coolant hoses under the intake plenum (Ferrari has updated hoses,
but many use aftermarket silicone replacements)
2)  Broken motor mounts.
3)  Fuel pump failures.  Apparently there are parts on the fuel pump (which
is inside the fuel tank) that crumble or disintegrate.  Requires removal and
cleaning of fuel tank, and replacement of fuel pump.  Replacement pump will
eventually have a repeat of the problem.  

The 550 is a great car.  I drove a friends and I was very impressed with how
nimble and well it drove!

What are the weak spots on a 1999 550 Marenello?
What is the service interval?
Any updates that should be / have been done?
Thanks
Doug
