Ferrari 360 Engine ECU Tuning
Ferrari 360 Engine ECU Tuning
Over the last five years or so I have been working on a number of projects relating to ECU modification and repair. Throughout I have been collaborating with two key people: Software programming whizz (and all round Ferrari nutter) 360Trevand Master Ferrari technician Ed Blasi. When Ed came to work with me at AV Engineering two years ago things really started to take off. Over the last six…

Ferrari 360 Exhaust Variator Operation
Ferrari 360 Exhaust Variator Operation
We’ve swapped out a load of these variators over the last few weeks so thought it’d be interesting to pull one apart and try to explain the operation, which is incredibly elegant. For an overview on how the change in timing is controlled take a look here and for an in-depth look at how to get the timing of an engine spot on head over here.
The variator only has six parts which are shown below. …

AV Engineering Market Watch (August 2018)
The 360 and F430 market is definitely softening. The number of cars for sale is steadily increasing, buyer enquiries are down and sales seem more difficult to get over the line. 360 prices haven’t moved much but F430 prices are starting to come off (see chart below). It’s not all doom and gloom though – we have still be able to sell cars providing the price is right.

Ferrari CCM Brake Pads
Ferrari CCM Brake Pads
I had a Scuderia in the other day for a brake overhaul. The front caliper pistons were sticking which meant all the braking was being done on just one pad. When I stripped everything down ready for the rebuild there was a surprise in store – the pad was so worn that it was down to the brass studs. (more…)

AV Engineering Market Watch (June 2018)
Very little has changed since last months update – Ferrari 360 asking prices are broadly unchanged and F430 prices seem to be easing back a touch. However this should be taken in context against other marques where prices are falling – we are active in the Maserati Granturismo market and values have definitely taken a knock over the last month or so.

Ferrari F430 A-Pillar Switch
Ferrari F430 A-Pillar Switch
Like the 360 before it, the F430 has a pair of plunger switches fitted to the A-pillars. These switches activate when a door is opened and control the courtesy lights as well as being an input into the alarm system. Unlike the 360, the F430 switches are fitted into a plastic shroud which then fits into the chassis (the 360 switch fits directly in the hole). Over time the shroud will become…

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (April 2018)
Ferrari 360 asking prices are broadly flat and have been static for all of 2018. However the recent turn of good weather does seem to have brought some buyers out from the cold – we have sold two 360s in the last week at full asking price and were very close to selling a third. If I was asked about my views on the market when it was bitterly cold I would have been less than enthusiastic,…

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (March 2018)
Little has changed in the Ferrari 360 market and prices are broadly unchanged. The average asking price rose by 0.11% in the prior month, standing at a little over £77k. Cars are changing hands though (we have bought and sold a few already this year) but it’s really only the better examples that are realistically priced that are going through. I attended the first of the 2018 Silverstone…

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (February 2018)
Apologies for the lateness of this update – it’s been very busy in the workshop despite the inclement weather. Ferrari 360 prices actually firmed up a little but the rise is nothing to get excited about – the average price is now a touch over £77k up a mere 0.67%. Early thoughts on 2018 are good from our perspective, we are close to completing a couple of private treaty deals, have had a brace…

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (January 2018)
Happy new year! Average 360 asking prices continue to fall and are down a further 2.46% over the last month. In my opinion, this is vendors becoming more realistic with their pricing as opposed to the market softening further. We are still seeing buying interest for manual 360s but purchasers are able to be picky and hold out for the right car in the spec they want. F1 cars can still be sold…

Maserati 3200 Tachometer
A non-functioning tachometer in a Maserati 3200 is not uncommon. The tachometer is driven directly by the engine ECU so a malfunction can only be in one of three areas: The engine ECU The wiring The tachometer The easiest way to check where the problem lies is to put an oscilloscope onto the tachometer signal (the green/black cable on the multi-plug directly behind the display): (more…)

Apologies for the late update (again). Average Ferrari 360 asking prices has softened again, down 1.89% over the last month and we are definitely seeing a falling trend. Not much is happening in the market in the run up to Christmas – all of our cars for sale, as well of those we are trying to place via private treaty, are going into storage for the winter months. Lets see what 2018 brings……

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (October 2017)
Average 360 asking prices have fallen again and are now 1.3% lower than this time last month. The price index is 159.01, some 8% off the peak we saw in the summer of 2016. The overall luxury car market has been slow for some time due to gap between vendors expectations and buyers willingness to pay. This was very evident at the RM Sotheby’s auction I attended in London a few weeks ago. More…

Testing a Ferrari/Maserati airflow meter
Testing a Ferrari/Maserati airflow meter
Most modern Ferrari and Maserati use Bosch “hot-film” airflow meters as the primary input into the Motronic for fuel regulation. Unfortunately they are very susceptible to dirt and oil contamination and once their performance starts to degrade it can upset the running of the engine considerably. A failed or failing MAF can be the root cause of all manner of problems and error codes.…

Ferrari 360 Market Watch (September 2017)
Ferrari 360 prices have fallen back a touch – the average asking price has dropped 1.76% since this time last month. The 360 market is following the broader luxury car market which is slow and not showing any signs of picking up. In some ways it resembles parts of the housing market where sellers are refusing to accept their property is worth less and buyers are not willing to pay up. The only…
