308 engine noises

Yea- Ive been using just the tube on the stethascope.

EGR on Euros? It doesn't show in the Parts category of Ferrari UK's owners site- but does show in the U.S. 308 area.

I dropped the car off this a.m. at a local place who works on Jags, Rolls, Mercedes etc to address the idle issue we talked about earlier. They said they have worked on many Bosch injection systems and would have no problem getting the mixture right. They have six clients with Ferraris but none from the my era- all newer.
We'll see how they do. They had to ask over the phone if my 84 was carb or injected- hmmm.


I had them listen to the noise when I dropped it of and they said they would look into it. I, unfortunately, don't have a bunch of faith. I'll tell you on Monday what they said. I'm just hoping to find someone local to work on this car. The closest Ferrari guy is down in Boston- 2 hrs away.

Thanks, have a good weekend.

Well, they are done and have a solution to the noise: throw/out bearing.
He backed off the clutch adjust a bit and the noise went away. I wonder why the noise barely changes with clutch action? He said that is because of the spring keeping slight pressure on the bearing.
$1600 for clutch, pressure, bearing, and resurface sound o.k.?

Hi John,

Well good, got to the bottom of the issue.

The prices vary from market to market however that price sounds right in the ballpark and very fair imo.

And yes RR & MB have very simular Bosch FI systems, so those guys should be able to work right thru your Ferrari.
