This is gold! Thank you for posting this and I’m penciling it into my parts catalog right now...

 

Okay, so did you get replacements for the 96s that were sent to you? Is this photo of that?

Subject: [Ferrari] How to read Dayco timing belt date code

 

Friends,

 

Found of course on fchat!  ha

 

The production data code 08214196 means: 08 (year 2008), 21 is the 21st
week of that year and 4 is the 4th day of that week. The 196 number
represents the belt position inside the production mold.
The minimum self life is 5 years.

 

My new belts

 

21 015175

 

21 = 2021 year
01 = first week of the year 2021
5 = fifth day of the week
175 = the position in the production mold  

 

So January 8, 2021?
