Ferrari Mailing List: Hoses

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

This is the same set up for the hose that is under the intake manifold of
the 3 series cars,

If you replace it with Marine Hose you will never experience a failure.

In fact all TR have this type of hose for all of its coolant connections
except 2

Hoses that run in the V of the 550 engine fail because of the heat (I
imagine that's even worse in the USA where its warmer than good old UK
temps!) About 8-10 hours work to replace them. Only other issue is cost of
parts. A radiator is 6-7 thousand pounds here in the UK (that's about 12,000
US.). I do know several people that have used the hell out of them and they
are pretty durable.

 

Don't forget the lowly 400/412 series cars. You may not know this cause
there are few in the states and probably fewer that know how to work on them
but these things will do HIGH miles with very few problems. 70-80 thousand
miles cars are common here and they still run strong. The engine/drivetrain
of this series Ferrari is amazingly robust. Remember this was a car built
for daily use and with a 17 year build history they did have time to get the
things right.

I agree with most of what was said except that the 550's had no teething
problems that I was aware of
