Ferrari 360 Modena / Spider F131 faults

Aldous Voice says the manifolds are prone to breaking (less so than on the F430): a crack in one branch can spread to the others, with a ticking sound when cold that disappears when hot; a second generation of manifolds exists but can also break. An owner cited by Fiches-auto puts the manifolds at the top of his list of problems.

Early cars suffered premature failures of the cam variator; Petrolicious notes that everything should have been corrected at dealerships and advises checking it on a pre-2001 model. Aldous Voice says almost all received the modified part.

Fiches-auto reports an undersized F1 gearbox pump relay that can stick and leave the pump running continuously; replacing it regularly is advised. Aldous Voice describes the same mechanism (relay contacts welded, pump running until failure) and notes these pumps are inexpensive. Autocar advises looking for leaks from the hydraulic actuators on an F1.

The single-disc clutch lasts about 30,000 miles but wears much faster in town (Petrolicious). Aldous Voice cites more than 20,000 miles for a well-adjusted F1 clutch driven gently, and under 10,000 miles otherwise, with a sudden drop into neutral as a sign of wear. Autocar advises reading the clutch wear index in the gearbox control unit. An owner cited by Fiches-auto mentions a clutch at 50,000 km.
