360 Owners--- What is the average cost of a 3 years/30k major service on a 360 (excluding clutch and breaks)? and what is included in the service? Thanks.
Tom, This can be two seperate services; 1. Under 30K miles; the only service that may be required is the timing belts, (3yrs. or 30K miles which ever comes first). Typically this service will run $1200 parts/labor. 2. At 30,000 miles; If you check in your Warranty Card and Owner's Service Book it will detail what items are checked or replaced at this time.
"the only service that may be required is the timing belts, (3yrs. or 30K miles which ever comes first). Typically this service will run $1200 parts/labor." Really? That's the lowest I've heard for a 360 belt change. I thought it was more like 3500. Was this at a dealer?
Thanks, Drew Does the engine need to come out on a 360 for timing belts changes? This cost doesn't sound as bad as I had thought but again, if the engine stays in, it does save a lot of time, yes?
"Does the engine need to come out on a 360 for timing belts changes?" No. There's an access panel behind the seats. They have to pull out the seats but it's better than pulling the engine!
No the engine does not need to come out for the timing belt change. But on the other hand it does if you need a new clutch
Thats so cool that they can just remove the seats and a panel to get to the timing belt. I know my post might sound flip but I really think thats very cool. Continually lowering maintaince costs will be a smart move on Ferraris part as the competition for super exotica's heat up.. 1200 to 2 grand for 30000 miles worth of service isn't bad at all.. (oil changes not included of course)
... on a 360 don't think so. They remove the rear end of the car and then can separate gearbox/engine and change the clutch. the engine stays in the car. I had a clutch actuator failure on my last 360 and this was all done without the engine coming out.
"1200 to 2 grand for 30000 miles worth of service isn't bad at all.. (oil changes not included of course)" This is incorrect. The $1200 is for the timing belt service ONLY. The 30,000 mile service is a 'major' and I am not aware of the cost. Ferrari really hasn't done much in the past 5-10 years, (depending on the model) to lower the maintenance costs. However, it my understanding that the new motor in the 420 will utilize chains vs. belts and that will help.
Someone please clarify this for me. I'm being told by the dealership that the engine needs to come out at a major service in order to replace some oil gaskets that normally leak. I even asked for just the belt change only and they say the engine still needs to come out..WTF??!! I thought that's why there is the access behind the seats so the engine didn't have to be removed. Dealer is quoting $10k for a major service to. Has anyone actually had their engine removed for major service? If not, what have you paid for major service? Thanks in advance.
Are you sure you were talking about a 360 and not 355?? They should never need to pull the engine on a 360. By the way, full 30k service includes spark plugs, fluids, belts and some other junk, I am at work, don't have my book in front of me. A full 30k service at the dealer should run about $3k low end guess. This is there big service interval. I have the sheets from Ferrari on all labor and parts, will post in the morning. Belt service is generally $1500 from my guys. Robert
100% not true ad a point of reference www.EugeniosFerrariService.com Simply...................THE BEST!
Unfortunately prices due go up and when I quoted the 1200 for the timing belt only service it was 2004.
Ok, Ok, so this is straight from Ferrari labor and part rates. Just to clarify a 3yr is 15k miles, the 30k mile service is a 6 year service. 3yr/15k: oil/fluid Engine acc. belts a/c freon and filter spark plugs sd2 report lube care I-A inspect adjust Service total=$4,956.33 Individual total= $5,768.54 6yr / 30k : oil/fluid GBX Brake fluid coolant air filter pollen filters timing belts eng. acc belts a/c freon & filter spark plugs SD2 report preventive lube care I-A Service total= $7,285.37 Individual total= $8,303.51 Hope this helps and clarifys Robert
Where is the Vaseline?? (or is that part of the "preventive lube care"). My ass cheeks are chafed from just reading that second price!
I have owned my 2000 model 360 F1 coupe since 2006 and it has 17,900 miles on it. I use a reputable independent dealer in the New Orleans area who is very knowledgeable and extremely fair. When I first got the car, I had him do a thorough evaluation on it to check for updates (i.e. Cam variator update) and perform a major service (belts, plugs, fluids, air filters, cabin filters, SD2 report and anything else deemed necessary). He let me know that all necessary updates were performed, and just changed the aforementioned items. That ran me around $4,300 and some change. Since then, I have had him do annual oil changes. About 3 years ago, he advises me that my cam seals were leaking, and that I was starting to get a leak around my main seal. He also advises that fluid was starting to leak on the clutch, which would cause faster wear. One thing to keep in mind is that when you get a belt service done, you may not have to change the water pump or tensioner bearings. However, if you didn't do it last time, it is highly recommended to change those items the next time. Additionally, I started developing an excessive leak of refrigerant at the compressor. Well, this year I bit the bullet and had another major service and inspection done. I purchased a re manufactured water pump for $400 off ebay for my service, as this wasn't changed last time. I did a major service (belts, fluids, cam seals, and tensioner bearings). I also needed to address the leaking main seal. In order to do that, the suspension needs to drop so the transmission can be pulled. My clutch wear was 58%, and I was told that it's highly recommended to change the clutch once 70% wear is reached. However, since the box was out, I went ahead and did the clutch, throw out bearing and pressure plate. My car luckily had also been upgraded from the 4 bolt flywheel to the 6 bolt design, as well as my snout had been upgraded to the longer one already (saving me about $2,200). Turns out I also had 2 worn out motor mounts and 1 broken transmission mount. The a/c compressor needed a rebuild, as the seals were shot and holding no freon any longer. We shipped the compressor off to a guy in Oregon that rebuilds them for a fraction of the cost of a new one ($700 with shipping and insurance vs. $3,500). My car has been in the shop for 5 weeks, and I'll get it back next week. All together, I will have invested about $14k this time. I was told that down the road, I will need to replace the front ball joints at a cost of about $2,500 - $3,000), but due to the low mileage and the fact I don't drive it everyday, it will be 2 to 3 years out. I have also had to send much of the interior trim pieces to Sticky No More to get the gooey crap off and recoated with a more durable coating that looks and feels stock. The cost for all trim pieces ran me about $1,800. Last hit not least, the back lights on my gauge cluster started to mess up. A company in Costa Mesa will fix the cluster back to new for about $650. Overall, I live the car's performance and looks. I plan to keep this car from now on, and eventually get a 458. However, the only way I might consider getting rid of it is if the head gaskets started to leak. At that point, the engine idea need to come out for a rebuild, valve grind, new seats, etc. and the cost (if you didn't blow up the engine) will run between $12k and $20k).
Talk about raising the dead ! Thread is nearly 6 years old, you joined 4 years ago and this is your first post..... Nice tip on the A/C compressor rebuilder, in case we need it. do you have contact information ? Also, what is this "snout" you are talking about ? My car had the 6 bolt added at clutch change, is this part of the snout ?
I am told on good authority that the oil cooler lines are removed from the transaxle and it's pulled back from the engine and laid on a piece of carpet on the sub frame. The clutch can then be accessed. Alan
Interesting thread! I am glad the prices for the services are now way less than those quoted prices earlier in the thread.
