Our Cheap 81,000 Mile Ferrari FF Already Broke (BADLY)

Unfortunately after just one week, our cheap 81000 mile Ferrari FF already broke. It could be a very very bad repair after further diagnosis. On the other hand, we did finally perform the custom 1 off Ferrari FF "stars in the roof" install. This fixed our sagging headliner issue and completely transformed the interior! It looks like a Rolls Royce Starry Night headliner.

My dads FF had same issue but was under warranty - replaced entire unit at their cost.

[@kevinsmith7010]

Not a fan of the star light headliner but love the channel. Keep up the awesome videos! Hope the Ferrari isn’t too expensive to fix. Maybe convert it to RWD only? 🤔

[@mauriciomartinez4602]

[@shawnhicks619]

Apperently there is a shop that rebuilds the ptu for FF’s and puts higher quality seals in that in theory should last significantly longer then the stock seals. I read about it on Ferrari chat and honestly if I were in this situation would be what I’d explore instead of a replacement since it appears the seals aren’t the best in these units.

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Ss autotech in England rebuild the tpu better than factory

[@jfkayne]

Sorry to hear about your PTU issues. As a Ferrari FF owner it would be really helpful to hear the true cost of repair and options. Love my FF more than anything but the PTU does have me worried. Thankfully I am still under warranty.

[@ford_probe_garage_studio]

If it ends up being shot and it will be a $30k+ repair bill, I would then try every cheap solution if you have nothing to lose. (Seal reconditioner, thicker trans oil, stop leak, disconnect it from spinning, crazy glue, duct tape…). You may get lucky. 👍

[@arthurperrin664]

Great video as ever, Ferrari designed that AWD system because a standard AWD meant that they couldn't have a low centre of gravity and they said it would ruin the design! Any news on the Ford truck?

[@michealmessam884]

First place in the Ferrari FF Wagon for the Future of the Modified Supercars in the World.

[@toddhiggins6318]

Thanks for sharing rich people problems that most of us will never learn if not for your exceptional documentation

[@kens8903]

At least the headliner is nice 😂 This is why I love these shows I live vicariously though the host’s vehicle purchasing decisions

[@eldiabloblanco5526]

That’s got to hurt the pockets on that repair but that’s the cost to have cool toys. Thank you for letting me see the upside to auctions and the downside of them too .Supercar in my future

[@kosmaskatshs9790]

Hope everything is good !!!

[@milli2385]

Starlight headliner is like scissor doors on V12 lambos. Awesome OEM but aftermarket should always be a no go. Starlight headliner for Rolls Royce or not at all.

[@djwilliams4714]

Make it rear wheel drive, will be more fun 🤩

[@Rocketjay12]

So sorry you're having serious issues with the FF. I love this car!

[@LegendV12]

My clutch hose broke and looked the same. Note manual 6 speed old school. But not sure if Ferrari design would even have the hose. But if only a hose may not be so bad. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@billsansalone8417]

Check the fuse box, you might just have to pull a fuse to keep the valves open...that's what I did for my Aston DB9

[@poormansporsche744]

This is the same issue with the Porsche PDK transmission. A $10 sensor inside can fail (they’re all plastic) and Porsche will not open the ZF made trans. ~$30k bill from the dealer, no repairs offered, just replace.

[@rajaabalaji6]

hope everything is good!

[@markbennett6658]

The remote control for that ‘starlight headliner’ looks surprisingly Chinese and low rent considering it was probably very expensive to get installed!

[@Riceonrice]

It’s all Chinese piece of shit parts

[@Riceonrice]

I literally have the same remote for all my piece of shit Chinese led in my room and cars

[@jaybeckett1271]

The starlight looks great!

[@alanleclair1]

Sorry about the front trans! Save that stock headliner! It will be great for resale. Ferrari owners are all about stock.

[@faustp23]

Sorry to hear...definately a bummer and crazzzy. LOve the headliner.

[@freddiejones4598]

That headliner will knock at least 5k of the cars value

[@markryl-kuchar2373]

The starlight looks amazing, the potential ptu replacement costing a small fortune sucks

[@keaunui3366]

Noo, why would you wrap it red? The black with the little yellow details look so clean

[@Chuckles527]

Just subscribed love the channel!

[@jeremysmith3522]

I like the starlight headliner. 😁 ⭐️

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Hi Jeffery and Christian, To be frankly I don’t like the way a lot of people out of the USA love have a lot of bling bling around them. Same is for me the black star ceiling in the Ferrari FF. I prefer to keep such a nice car as original as possible but have to respect your way of thinking so of course I will. What a bad luck with the oil leaking. It did look kind of a red oil in your vlog what might be caused by transmission oil. I f so than I think the gearbox oil seal is broken or damaged. In such a case the whole engine needs to be out of the car to reach this part of the engine for a replacement of such a seal. I hope for you that I’m wrong and that it’s caused by a more simple problem. Wish you lot’s of succes with this and send you love from the Netherlands

[@kevincorbin5371]

Your headliner looks good.

[@ihaveexactlyamillionsubscr3418]

Hey I am new to this channel but already this is legendary content I saw every video from the Mercedes-Benz 320 I think, I am already subscribed You guys are the BEST!! I am the 21 guy to comment on this video

[@The_journeyy]

*Ohhh boy this just got interesting* 👏👏

[@missheather3006]

Kayden and the brothers love the new headliner.

[@laurahill5775]

Yikes. Ours going in Monday as we have every light on. Hoping just a wiring short. Grrr

[@T.S.T2014]

I get the 🌟 star liner but that original headliner was very good already

[@omarviera210]

Haven’t seen y’all drive the v12 Benz on a budget I miss it that’s how I started watching you guys chanell

[@Mpowerurmind777]

Imo star headliner is a RR type of thing but it’s cool. If you like it , heck ya. Love the FF. Sucks to hear on trans

[@JayL781]

Is there a way to get rid of the front transmission and make the car rear wheel drive instead of all wheel therefore getting rid of the problem and making the car lighter ?

[@Astromarigod]

You should wrap the ff, probably a blue will look good on it

[@viktorjohansson86]

They were the first to have it for a reason. And it just works in first and second gear. Every other gear its just rear wheel drive.

[@thatoneboss2741]

Looks so damm good.. I’m considering it on my S500 Coupe 😍🔥

[@shadibredd3403]

Can't u make the FF rear wheel drive instead of AWD. Just like Mondi's?

[@aztekkr]

To See how he removes the actual ceiling literally broke my European heart into two peaces. He destroyed a finished masterpiece...

[@juanmecca6031]

Yeah, still not a fan of the starlight... leather looked more cash, at least to me. Regardless, great content guys!

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Seems to me someone should develop an AWD delete for the FF. The AWD is a cool feature but at $50k every 20k miles I'd go RDW.

[@CupraRoemu]

lol I knew a Taycan was coming😂

[@JRGarage]

SOON :)

[@coolshtmagazine3732]

That's an odd roofline mod for a car like this, seems more fitting for a limo.

[@DanielBall]

Good luck guys, couple of $2 oil seals and new ATF and she will be grand 😬

[@andrewclarke2328]

hi top videos much respect Andy in England ❤

[@rapolas_ba9791]

I cant believe that you afford everything of this... Even my dream ferrari!

[@CarFul]

It really is a big bummer that you have to do these repairs …. Hope at least they won’t be as expensive as you think they are 👍😀

[@andriodfusion]

Hopefully it’s just a simple fix, the star headliner looks awesome though!

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

Ugh, what a bad break on that. F in the chat for sure. :( Especially after the headliner mod, you're probably stuck in a spot where you have to go forward with the potential PTU repair, whatever that entails. If it were me, I'd be sorely tempted to sell asap once that repair is done though. Don't get me wrong, it's a gorgeous car and spec. But if the PTU's just going to fail again and the only answer is give Ferrari another $45k, I'd rather invest that into another vehicle entirely. (just imo of course) Take care, guys!

[@sixtee5cuda98]

There are rebuilders who install better seals in the PTU. This fixes the factory defect, and greatly extends the life of the AWD system.

[@mikimiki195]

Can you delete front transmission?

[@Atrocious_Ferocious57]

Awww man I loved that car why does it have to be the transmission 😔 first your f350 or f150 I forgot that got stolen and now the ferrari FF's transmission has gone to haven 😔 and it costs way more than it should be for the price of the car

[@raygarrahan9325]

How about an update on the 911 LS Swap thanks

[@buckkylem]

The headliner is a dumb move but whatevs it’s your rari. I love the leather and stitching that’s up there.

[@lucadecarlo9490]

Ooo 40-45k can’t lie that stings to hear, good luck

[@loveonjohn]

Ceiling lights add any hp?

[@independentsoldier4274]

Woot woot keep it going. This is the only Ferrari that is worth keeping . Ha love it

[@inhawaii4941]

Can you convert it to just RWD?

[@travishackney7771]

How much was the star light job ?

[@Nihil1st1347]

You should go for way less stars and even include a favourite star sign. Also regard that not all stars shine the same colour.

[@aetreus88]

Maybe just only 200 stars?

[@bdoginit]

Starlight headliner is a little tacky looking when not in a RR….second thought it looks tacky in RR’s too 😂 but you do you fam

[@nicolesmith7345]

What do they do with the cars they buy.

[@thepalm2791]

Well I would try to leave the car just as a two wheel drive car. Maybe I'm stupid but I would try that solution, obviously in a safe way.

[@shawnhicks619]

If it were only that easy. It’s unfortunately not as simple as disconnecting the PTU and cruzing around. There are multiple sensors that monitor the front tires, axles, and suspension to automatically add power to the PTU, and many functions programmed into the ecu’s. Without significant reprogramming and mechanical modification it’s nearly impossible, and it’s been explored in many discussions on Ferrari chat. But I like you thought it wouldn’t be too difficult until I researched it. The better bet is contact one of the places that rebuild the PTU with better components and have a better part that should last longer.

[@juniorbonilla658]

Royal blue!!!

[@richardvoss77]

Ah yes any fabricators tool box must include nail clippers for that flush finish.

[@AZRALLIART]

Is the installer single? 👀 Boy lookin thick 💪

[@taylorluc43]

have y'all thought about adding any more JDM cars to the garage

[@PaddyBoy644]

Could you just convert the FF to RWD?

[@dhruvpahwa5724]

Well tht is not great but atleast u will hav some trouble free driving ahead

[@chentony5620]

so how much was the star roof?

[@Atrocious_Ferocious57]

And what do you know the first thing that comes up is "transmission failure"

[@S55Mikey]

Should've kept oem headliner imo

[@16Cylinder]

RWD CONVERSION, PLEASE! The front wheel system is ONLY engaged via the software. This means it should be possible in theory to upgrade the CPU to NOT use the front wheel drive system and hence you might be able to have a "quick" fix where you simply leave the damaged gearbox where it is and not use it! If this is possible, you will have the best of two worlds as the car is not rebuild in a costly conversion to RWD which again will affect the originality and price as the next owner can simply re-install the original software and have the gearbox repaired and VOILA 100% original again. Good luck :-)

[@nikola6533]

Did you find your truck

[@ingresswizard9044]

Don’t you just have to pull a fuse when the valves are open and they will stay that way. No wiring needed

[@aduck6199]

hey did you guys get the truck back yet?

[@JRGarage]

Unfortunately no :(

[@wesdoobner7521]

Couldn't you just leave it in sport mode so the front wheel drive doesn't engage?

[@mikeisaacs2314]

I would be hitting up the car wizard

[@denzelplay8563]

The best bro

[@Dev.09]

Updates on the stolen ford truck? 😢

[@jackwebster9526]

RWD conversion is the answer

[@maxlalonde3705]

You can get the PTU transmission rebuilt and they replace the faulty parts with parts that don’t fail. It’s a fraction of the cost then a new transmission cost. And unlike a new transmission that will fail again, this rebuilt transmission comes with a guarantee. Watch video below starting at 12:39. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYK4iJewrblrhNEsi=Ef1dCpvSuERvmIID

[@Mzpixz]

Do you guys sell these cars or just collect them? Just curious because they are so pretty.

[@JBsC6]

The stars in the roof seems over the top. Looks cool but too much money in my opinion but its your money your choice.

[@ericguevara21]

Rwd swap??? Is it positive?

[@h4pticz276]

you guys get your truck back yet?

[@coyster530]

I'm sorry if I missed out on the video but what do you guys do for a living to have so many nice cars and planes and you're about 10 years if not 15 years younger than me I'm just curious what you guys do for work besides KZbin unless KZbin really pays. Good

[@dsj6677]

You 2 guys gotta cut it out with these crazy aftermarket things your doing to some of your cars. Ferrari will be disappointed by you messing up their cars. And if you sell it....it will have to go back stock for real value. It's cool for American cars, but English and Italian cars...keep stock trust me. Danny from Los Angeles.

[@JRGarage]

IT'S SO COOL THO!

[@ctlspl]

That’s why it’s reversible…

[@Atrocious_Ferocious57]

At first when the roof was like a sponge I thought ok so it won't go bad I guess 😅 but I was wrong

[@doingyamom]

Hopefully nothing was damaged and it just needs a reseal

[@maccalex]

The drip looks like Italy

[@M-ww]

Best wagon ever

[@johankooistra9332]

The Maserati is so much better looking! Change my mind! 😁

[@drew3203]

Front diff delete and make a RWD daily monster???

[@h4pticz276]

that must really suck bro sorry i feel for you

[@leemarshall9828]

All those super cars are awesome, but there is no way I would pay the prices for the parts and service, way too much overkill!!!

[@tonimehaj3332]

Hiiiiii jr garage I hope you find your truck

[@garymartin9806]

There is a company that has a fix for that problem for about $10,000
