Strange 550 noise.

Jacques- Could be the vacuum accumulator pressurizing. Might be worth checking the hoses that go to the brake system and the pneumatic exhaust bypass valves for leaks.

90 C is great for a Maranello in warm conditions in traffic, especially in the middle of summer.

 

might also be the flux compasitator.

Holy hell, Taz, when do you not trying to give these guys, who know nothing, things to fix?

You have lead more guys on gooses chases than need to be. I have watched it for 6 years.

Let the pros do their stuff. post your charts, your reprints of manuals, and let the other guys turn wrenches.

Of all the cars you have owned, and all the cars you have......gotta ask..seriously..

Have you ever actually changed the oil your 575?

Other than standing under while the shield is removed, and then the tech showing you what is what, have you ever turned a wrench?


This comes from a guy who has dropped quite a few 911s, rebuilds crap in the garage, and does not trust rocket scientist.


I think SO Called rocket scientist are worse than lawyers. hehehehehe

 

And people wonder why folks like Brian and Taz don't like to post here much any more...

Kai

 

do not give me any crap, I too can read a manual and spend all day looking at it. Taz will tell you that we have butted heads for years over some of his advice,

I have no doubt he is a great guy, he is passionate, caring, and smart as a whip.

The fact remains, I have a group of guys who care for my car and are sponsors on this site. Had I followed some of Taz's suggestions, I would be walking.

As to the Brian remark, read some of my stuff in Rossa, and get over it.

I do not take legal advice from Rocket scientist, rocket scientist should go to the moon, and Ferrari mechanics work on cars and lawyers should not build rockets.

Flame me, I am tough enough.

As to his technical stuff, no doubt, he has gathered more material than a normal person should, but to start telling people how to fix things is like doing surgery after reading AOL ask the Doc.MD

We are big boys here, doubt my reply is going to ruff his feathers, hell I will buy him single malts till he drops if he would let me.

He is an awesome guy with his literature, but I would not start tearing apart my car based on his analysis of things.

Sorry, my 1 cent.


Just as an example of his knowledge and lack there of.......
A Barchetta would not have an F1 pump, it is a 550. There was not a pump for a F1 as it was never an option or being available until the 575.

Maybe that is you analysis, but to not even address that is just ridiculous.

 

Kaivball, not a jab. I love both of these guy's posts, and they are a
great part of the community, but some of the stuff flying around is just plain wrong.

For 6 years I have seen bad advice thrown out and then retracted later.

Reading and digesting a book does not make you an expert. If that were the case, I can tell you the next asteroid to hit the Earth as I like physics and mess around with it.

But I do law every day, know it, and do not tell my clients when the planet is going to explode.

 

Hey 'fou' -- you should be kicked off this site. Clearly, you are a nasty and arrogant individual in deep need of help. No need for people like you here or elsewhere. Have you ever considered therapy? Frank

 

Bring it on, I am a big boy, I can handle it

 

Oh my gawd, have I thrown a stone at the savior. please help me for not drinking the cool aid.

Do you really want me to go back and relive the errors, or do you want to do that yourself? I do not have the time.

 

As an aside, Terry is a great guy. He has helped me out with obtaining littérateur. He is probably one of the best guys in the world to seek documents on a 575, but taking actual advice on fixing a car? I pass.

 

Someone like you is simply not worth the time. Frank

 

Love you too

 

Are you serious? Like that Cadillac? Helll, dude, I have dropped and rebuilt more 911 engines than you have taken a dump recently. Do not Cadillac guys have constipation? By the way, ask him who put on the brakes.

 

I guess that just is an example of your gift, then, thinking your own car has a f1, dude back off, you are slobbering.

 

Go ahead, do a search, I am sure you are the kinda guy who always wants a zinger, I am guessing you are going to pull up something from 5 years ago and try to stuff it.

Go ahead big boy, drive that caddie to the bank.

Reading comprehension difficulties are rampant in America. I blame our school system.

Please point out where Taz mentions an F1 pump.

If you are going to lay into someone, may I suggest that you might want to be right before you do so.

 

lay off Dave, you want a chunk too? I have no problems with you, you are a good guy, as well is Terry. I am not attacking anyone, my point is that you need to trust a mechanic, not a guy with a book and too much time.

 

I agree, Terry is, and I have always maintained, a great guy. Do not get me wrong, but taking advice from a guy with a book on the internet is about as healthy as investing in the Nigerian Bank that emails you and wants to start a superfund in the stock market.

 

fou:

You say that you "do law every day". Are you an attorney? If so,how did you manage to get through high school,college,three years of law school,and a bar exam without learning correct English? During those English classes,was your compasitator always in flux and out doing gooses chases? Or were you sitting in on just enough French classes to learn how to misuse that language too?

 

Redneck, just dumd, I guess, can't spell and from the weeds, I m a fool from the steeks who just got merself a bathroom yesterday, wre you from califooornia? do the meexiccans still own that land? do they make blankets out your way? pony up $50 bucks and get eft your horsey and see what RRReally happens up top of the brooard.
