360 DIY Ferrari 360 F1 System Repair that saved me £20000

You should explain what it is you did rather than just fish for views on YouTube. My opinion anyway.

 

I thought that's exactly what he did. Scott had managed to kink one of his hydraulic lines and when he discovered this and replaced it, did a full bleed and re-learn it was fixed. Or did I miss something?

 

Very impressive work...

But.... You gotta get my reflash done now. I don't think there is a more effective way to transform your car. you'll be shocked. It's like adding a couple more litres capacity and a heap load more throttle response.

When are we doing it?

 

Hey Trev,

Can you do the reflash for a 2009 Maserati with a 4.7 and f1?'

Looking for a 360 for a daily, when I do you are the first one I am going to!

 

Great videos Scott, watch all of them.

Can you get a wireless Lavalier mic? Would make your voice audio so much better, I am getting old I guess.

 

Yes! PM me

 

So Scott great work love watching your videos

In the end ..just so I know that I followed correctly ..the main problem was the mechanical portion of the actuator with a subsequent issue of a kinked hose ?

All I saw was a clickbait title. Maybe you're famous here but I don't know you, I'm a newbie. If you had included the above bit in your first posting, then I would have known what it was about. Nothing against your video and no, I haven't watched it yet but now I will.

Thanks.

 

Scott..Outstanding display of perseverance...!
I follow your Videos and learn a bit more everytime...I give you huge credit for putting yourself out there for the world to see.!
I was really looking forward to seeing your CS all polished up...maybe next time.
Keep up the good work and thank you for contributing to this forum.
As you would say cheers for now.

 

East—/. Check out rataRossa vids on u toob. Perhaps the most informative and entertaining vids that lift the skirt on f car diagnosis and repairs!

no click bait necessary

 

Great work Scott. Did you try putting the old Fork side actuator in with the new unkinked EV3 line?

 

Sweet!

 

Great video Scott! What F1 fluid are you using? I can't seem to get shell spirax S5 ATF.

 

Isnt any Dex 3 atf sync fluid ok ? Like Mobil 1 sync atf ..from my research using Shell spirax as benchmark ..it seems to be perfect fit

I am taking a long shot here but always wondered if any fluid passes back to reservoir from actuator when screws are not loose .. i know there is a return line and always wondered if you replace the fluid in the reservoir would it eventually make it to the actuator or is it a deadend unless the bypass screws are opened two turns ?

Thank you in advance ..and if I hadn't before I want to thank you so much for sharing .. I love this stuff

I use the Petronas fluid Scott. Only because it’s used widely on the Alfa systems. Any equivalent spec fluid should be OK.
It’s the redline NS gearoil I used that improved the shifting, which is quite something if you notice it on an F1.

 

The lines are dead-ended at the hydraulic actuator shuttles. When you open the bleed valves you allow oil to effectively flow through a series of loops back to the reservoir pushing the air out of the lines and into the reservoir. Air isn’t actually bled out at the actuator.

When the system primes the fluid flows into the accumulator and there is some change of fluid as it pressurizes and loses pressure. Some fluid will work into actuator lines but they are thin and relatively long so the only way to change the fluid properly is to bleed it through. It’s just a bit of a pfaff and poor design that the bleed screws are on the back of the actuator. If they were on the front it could’ve been done with the actuator in situ.
