Testarossa Cross Reference Thread

I just replaced the wiper blades on the TR. These were refills. They were made by ANCO W-20R. I do not know if the existing wipers were oem but the said Bosch on the side, and the drivers side had a wind deflector on it. All of the aftermarket blades that I found including Bosch did not have the wind deflector so I decided to use a refill. This is assuming that the wind deflector was oem. If anybody knows, it would be enlightening. Thanks Dennis

bty the pair was $7.00 at Auto zone

 

A word from "maybe" the wise............Watch out for the high dollar Bosch blades.....3 sets so far and yet to get one that will stay in contact with the windshield on the passenger side of the TR at ANY speed. By the way I have these on all my cars and trucks and they all suck. Save your $ and get some that are suggested here on the forum at much more reasonable prices..........

 

Oil cooler fans.

SPAL 5.6" fans model number 30100291.

I ended up getting them even cheaper from the following supplier. They blow heaps more air that the old stockies and are much quieter.

I have has great success by using wiper re-fills. I too was looking for a blade assembly but found no wind deflector. This is a factory blade made specially for the application. Re-fills can be a tad tricky. If you dont slide them on the right way they are useless. One end of the rubber has a divit in which the blade claw sits in.

Called EMS today and found that they do not stock these although the website indicates out of stock. But they do source them. I ordered 2 today for about $40 shipped. NICE!

Thanks to JAYF for starting and keeping up this thread.

 

Exhaust donuts.........the small ones....Napa Part# F17250 (the new NAPA part number is now FELPRO 8194) Which was $3 or $4 if I remember correctly and that's 4-5 times less expensive than the F part.

I just bought 4 of those small exhaust donuts (ID = 50mm) myself recently at NAPA, and, even though that was the part they had in stock (and sold me), they mentioned that they've gone to a new vendor and the new NAPA part number is now FELPRO 8194.

 

Just installed an aftermarket lift support on my '90 Testsrossa, manufactured by Sachs North America, P/N SG430009 (less than $16 at the local Carquest auto parts store). It was necessary to discard the sheet metal snap-on clips and drill out the holes in the strut ends slightly larger.

 

I need to replace the disks and pads on mine. Are they a bespoke item or are there alternatives out there to paying v.high ferrari original spares prices?

Thanks for the help!!!

This post should be moved elsewhere....doesn't belong here. Dave, can you do that?

 

Since not too long ago, Bosch have a "classic Cars" organisation. Amongst other things, they go around buying up obsolete stock etc., so things Bosch previously didn't have are now becoming available. Their site has a press release that K-Jetronic components are now available. Unfortunately it's in German. May be of help.

I am looking for the location of the AC expansion valve and the best way to remove it on my 87 Testarossa. Can anyone help?

 

Supposedly this is the place for AC parts and at fair prices... http://polarbearinc.com/

Here is a "reveiw" from another post here on FChat by Jimbo.........

"By the way, a big FerrariChat thank you to Joe Citelli of PolarBear ([email protected]). Joe was incredibly helpful, knew exactly which parts I needed and saved me literally thousands of dollars over FPimp prices ($250 for a new compressor vs $2400 from Ferrari). I replaced the compressor, drier, expansion valve and trinary switch. All parts were delivered to my door in 2 days for just over $300 with all O rings, etc included. Thanks, Joe. "
