VEEDUBBED 0 Posted March 28, 2018 Anyone ever worked on an f40? My mate Here in Rome owned one back in'00 and was often asking me of i fancied changing the timing belt on the twin turboed v8, I couldn't do the job 'cos the car was just too low to even get it in the workshop.. I've Always been curious as to how much a job like that would have cost at Ferrari?? I remember that the rear seats had to be removed or even the entire engine.. I also remember that the fuel tanks were dated, every 10 years they had to be changed. Anyone know someone who has done this? I also wonder how much for a full service too..

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 28, 2018 In the UK we would just take it to a Halfords and they would fit a head unit and do the timing belt. I could phone them and pretend i wanted a quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I meant the seats, my bad. Interesting that you supplied the components, do you remember how much the complete kit used to cost? Who made the belts? Dayco, isoran? Edited March 28, 2018 by VEEDUBBED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 12, 2018 Just drop the engine out and throw new belts on. Supercar makers always make such a big deal of servicing, but it's just bolts and engine hoists like any other car. Yep, fuel bags do indeed expire, but not just Ferrari. You can get aluminium replacements now though. Bags are for old people who **** through tubes.
