@@mbrohnUTUBE just the image. And the fittings are 1/4npt not 3/4

@ I am committed to building this as I just placed the order for ports from a handful of locations. For grins, I took a look at the McLaren Service Manual and see they state a bleed is “NOT” needed with piston or bladder accumulators? Your comments in the video make sense - thoughts on why they would take that position? Care Point: For metal bellow type accumulators, if you follow the procedure below to replace the accumulator(s) a suspension bleed is not necessary. Install Metal bellows type accumulator - Front Care Point: Always replace the actuator bolts. Refer to the Spare Parts Catalogue (SPC) for Care Point: For membrane type accumulators, a suspension bleed is not necessary unless the actuator is replaced.

👍

Shocks are not covered. PTU would just replace with another one that will fail again. Gearbox depends on what part fails. The Power 15 warranty says "generally leaks and gaskets are not covered" but some dealers will do the valve cover gaskets, etc. The car would have to have less than 50k miles and less than 15 years old. I just had a GTC Lusso brought in on it's last year of Power 15 (it's at 45k miles, so will not be eligible for next year) and it had radiator leaking, oil pump leaking, PTU still original, valve cover leaking, intake manifold leaking, power steering line leaking. So I sent it to Ferrari Los Angeles and we'll see what they cover. They did tell me the coolant is a 12 year service item!!! WOW which is why the radiator and thermostat were leaking: covered in crusty bad coolant.

@ thank you for the comprehensive reply! It seems like with these cars, you’ve got to “pay to play”. I really like the idea of the FF over a Turbo S but the maintenance factor feels like the grim reaper lurking around the corner. The sound of the v12 and usable rear seats though.. tough decision

@stevec754 don't forget the Turbo S has A PDK which also, porsche does not sell internal parts for and has a notorious shift shaft sensor failure that porsche requires you purchase a new gearbox to resolve. Pay to play is all high performance cars to some extent. Of course, 6 cylinder vs 12 cylinder maintenance will always be less on the fewer cylinders. It's more a question of how you want to be seen when you pull up? The v12 is just in a class of its own

@@fishhead90 I just parked my x5 n63 for the last time. Got 145k miles before valve stem seals got too bad. I don't feel like investing a week of my labor to fixing it. So we are 2wd manual converting it with something more reliable 😊

@@fishhead90 but just a note, the lusso t doesn't have the ptu and it has a smaller, easier to maintain engine so the costs might not be as high

@@JoseFlores-mg5se no

@@DookeyRidr I haven't tested any Amsoil 🤷

@@HollywoodMechanicthanks, excellent and informative video!

@@ceknott the mirror caps? Like the top part? This video clearly shows how to remove them. They just carfully push back on into place. I don't understand what you're asking. I show the entire mirror disassembly here. There's nothing more to show

@@Theindiantrader30 then you don't want any modern ferrari v12 cars. They all will have the same maintenance except the ptu

Every one. Just a matter of how long. If driven in stop and go often, it happens faster. Los Angeles client brought one in at 5000 miles with the failure. If driven mostly highway miles, I've seen as many as 30000 before the failure. But it's a design error that must be remedied.

Thank you!

@@RootBeerGMT did you listen to the exhaust at the end? Cheapest model Italian v12 by $100k. And if you play sports or have kids or just want to scare the crap out of 3 other adults, it's really a great car

@RootbeerGMT Could agree considering market, but more interested in what Ferrari you have? Probably one way much more desireable..

A worst case scenario: great car cursed by a company lacking quality control. Just imagine getting hit with a critically needed $100k service. Fucking hell.

@@G6_SA 812 is kinda new, so faults are not common yet but it's the same basic layout for the engine and gearbox. The F12 I see the same issues. So water/oil pump, radiator design, timing solenoids under the valve cover, transmission over haul and weep hole requirements, shocks leaking (especially if lowered).
