What's with the 550 fuel pump?

Never heard of any issues

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

Window ECUs suck and are NLA, fuel pump assemblies are crap and components are NLA (pump is available, but is useless without the various rubber bits to mount it in the tank), seat ECUs are NLA, and the list goes on. It isn't that the parts are expensive (they are), it's that they just aren't available.

 

Engine wise both cars are pretty good, but with the 456 prices so low, there is usually a lot of deferred maintenance - just like 308s a few years ago.

 

456M is the preferred option, but has the exact same issues as a regular 456. 550 is a much better bet but still suffers fuel pump issues with no parts available.

 

Remember, there is no such thing as a cheap Ferrari - purchase price is only the beginning.

Subject: [Ferrari] 456 issues

A coworker asked me about the 456, and I told him it's a wonderful value for a modern V12 F.

Just that it has a few potential issues that could quickly add up to the price of the car, hehe.

So what were they exactly?

I remember something about the windows, maybe windshield too. Also the auto trans could be an expensive rebuild (but nobody wants an auto 456!). 

I can't imagine it would be too bad. 

Looking at the V12 universe, it looks to be a good value. Even better than the Maranello possibly...
