Take care of my baby Wizard! I can’t wait to get it back. Correcting all the little issues you found is going to make it run amazing again!
It couldn’t have gone to a better owner that will care about it no matter what the cost 😊🏎️
@@wotrulke5868 It couldn't have gone to a better owner who couldn't have taken it to a better mechanics shop, who couldn't have showed it all to a better audience and you couldn't have received a better reply (I had to do that otherwise it wouldn't work).
All the service records the car will gain value, especially a car like that. Just need the right auction that gets the bidders pretty drunk and bid high.
@@sundown798 Yep a twenty grand service could add 30 grand to the value!
@@sundown798 In fact a car that has been utterly sorted out and running beautifully may do as you say and go bananas.
"Daniel-san has gotten excited". This is his excited face. LOL
I was going to say something similar. Cool car. But you have to be a dedicated owner to have one of these.
The Daniel-san abides.
Dam good Ferrari mechanic
Bob's a good guy, he knows that the job will be done right by people who know what they do and it'll cost.
Bob is a good guy? I thought the whole bit between the wizard and Hoovie is that he’s the sketchy friend? The used car dealer lol
The blanked-off button in the centre console is for the roof light in some regions.
The MAF sensors are Bosch Motronic 2.7 and common with many, many regular cars. Just check the Bosch part numbers. They are a fifth of the price if they don't come in a box with a horsey on it.
Curse you, Mr. Ed's Auto Parts! (shake fist)
The porsche 924 used the EXACT same door handles as the jetta. 30 bucks for the VW....Triple for the porsche
Sadly the MAFS are no longer available from Bosch, however, Fuel Injection Corp in California rebuild them for $275 each
Good advice ,should tell the car wizard so he can get the same exact part cheaper!
100k on a Ferrari with out any major problems means the car was used exactly as it was designed.
For 19 years I drove a Porsche 928S2 5 speed that tended to run rich. Guess what I found? The same thing, the MAF connector would corrode and cause an improper signal to the fuel injection computer. Every few months I would pull it off [connected to the lower half of the air filter housing], clean it with deoxit, and then put it back together. Takes about 10 minutes....
Great video!
Did you ever use dielectric grease to keep out the moisture?
@@iceman9678 I tried EVERYTHING! I cleaned it, I deoxited it, I wrapped it with electrical tape. Yes I tried dielectric grease. A combination of tape and this grease increased the time between MAF pulls, but it still occurred. I exchanged MAF's with John Speake in England; He rebuilds Bosch MAF's and sent me the one off of his car and it still did it! The connector probably needed to be replaced, but I suspect that this part wasn't properly designed and eventually corrosion set in. I went around the car and cleaned all the other connections to no avail; None of them were bad.
Crazy how one small simple item can make a car run like crap~
Only other thing is maybe change out the connector with an aftermarket type. I'm not sure the pin count and how it matches up though.
@@iceman9678 They don't make aftermarket connectors for this. Bosch connectors are available for about $15, but it would be a pain in the ass to change it out, so I just kept pulling the MAF every few months.
@@Flies2FLL Sounds like an ASSFULL of trouble...
It's nice to see a shop that cares about their customers and their employees. Doesn't happen often anymore.
Great, that you support Daniel-san.
This will be a win-win.
That was one beautiful picture of the storm. Appreciate you sharing that...
Wizard. You stole the Philips test pattern developed in 1966 primarily for the new high definition 625 line colour television broadcasts. It was continually developed and used all over the world with every system and updated for widescreen (as seen here) and HD. It offers an immediate visual metric of frequency response, linearity, purity, white balance and colour accuracy, convergence, focus, black levels and standard staircase, and every possible thing an engineer may need to give you a perfect image.
A wonderful thing. The perfect test card that has stood the test of time for 50 years more or less. Thank you Philips.
I love their use of it. All they need is a dog named Toto...
After 7 years of training,he should be addressed as..... Dr Dan.
First Dan or Seventh Dan. Dr Seventh Dan.
Dr Seventh Dan-San
I thought it was the 308 until I read the title. He took it to the right mechanic, gonna do what it needs and get it fixed right the first time!
This is my favorite style of Ferrari all-time. Just reminds me of when I was a kid - and those body fins are one-of-a-kind in the auto industry for me. I know the testarossa had them as well
Wow I just saw that supercell. Did it drop a tornado anywhere? I live in OKC so I know the drill buddy.
I had one for five years, 2 years as my daily driver; spent 5k on a major service and nothing more over 35 kilometres. Perfect car!
I always knew that Ferraris were fast, but this thing was doing 10 mph sitting on the lift with half the engine removed. Amazing. @3:00
I've heard those side grates referred to as cheese graters. Be that as it may, I find them very cool. And not pulling the engine to do a clutch job, priceless!🥰
Can’t wait to see videos on Daniel’s channel tearing into this beauty!
The storms are one of the reasons I love the Midwest. Need to make my way out to Kansas sometime from Iowa.
I work at AutoZone part time and about 15 years ago i had a kidney Doctor that came in with a Aston Martin DB7 Convertible it was maybe a 2005 or 2006 at the time. I asked him how much was the service on the car and he told me that if you had to ask you could not afford it . He also told me that if it broke or needed service he called the dealer and they would pick up the car and he did not worry about the price. He also told me that if you can't write the check and not worry about it than that is the wrong car for you to have. Watching your videos and what that doctor told me made a lot of sense about expensive cars.
Same with wives & divorce...😅
Workin' part-time in a service job, you shouldn't have even considered buyin' one of those MONEY-PITS at all...
Danielson is a great addition, love his channel too. Well done guys.
That's a late 348 - the 355 came out 1 year later in 95. Bob has one sweet ride.
Years ago I had a friend who owned a Cadillac. He took it to the dealer once for servicing. I say once because before he gave him the keys, he asked for a written estimate. They replied by telling him "if you have to ask, you can't afford to own a Cadillac". Needless to say, he never went back there. Instead, he took is car to a reputable mechanic. I imagine owners of exotic cars are frequently in a similar situation.
Cadillacs are definitely much more ownable and way cheaper to fix than Ferraris...
People defer maintenance on exotics because the labour and part prices are unnecessarily exorbitant. You can buy a part with a Ferrari stamp that is $1000 or the exact same part with a Fiat stamp for $50. If they wouldn't rip people off like this, maybe owners would spend the money.
This is why that used 2002 sports car on craigslist with only 35k on the odometer isn't always a good deal. you'll find it typically has the original coolant, the seals are cracking leaking, sometimes even original tires, cars that sit are worse than cars with higher milage
Meanwhile Bob is calling Tyler, "Have I got a car for you!"
Urination Bob about to take a golden shower.
@@QuickQuipsEnjoy......😅
I’m a big fan of “while you’re in there” services especially with a timing belt water pump thermostat head gasket service. New parts wherever you can on the way back. If anything is still in good shape keep it as a spare. ANYTHING requiring major procedure to even get to something, if you need to get to something below that u might as well replace it all the way back together.
Imagine doing that and having a thermostat fail or something otherwise new when it goes back together??
Me too, but not when Ferrari parts cost 10x more than they should.
I love the gauges on italian cars. Never on zero. Or accurate.
What a beautiful Ferrari. What a a wonderful example of a 348.
daniel-san, we need more videos! :)
Do you ever stop and really consider how many people watch your channel? Like, do you think about how many STADIUMS full of people watch your videos?
Nearly 1 MILLION people subscribe to watch a dude in Kansas fix cars. I think that's amazing.
I laughed when I saw Daniel and David rubbing their hands together. Also, I noticed Daniel's beard of wisdom looks like its halfway to Wizard size.
I love the GM door chime sound that you use for the transitions 4:57
I saw Matt Farrah from The Smoking Tire get his 348 fully restored mechanically and they found heaps of things all over the car that needed replacing just because of age and a couple of things here and there that were dodged up to make it work previously by other owners that left it to the next owner and the next .....
Really good content🙏 I do enjoy then you work on these more exotic cars, explaining costs related to them and procedures neccessary to maintain them.
I never worked with Ferraris but close to everything but that, I surely add this knowledge to my bank of skills. 🙂
The more I see these, the more I think it would be fun to cruise in. Thanks for reminding me I cannot afford it.
Buy a Miata and save your money. You'll have 95% of the fun and people won't think you're a prick.
Hey Wizard, I bet you didn’t know that the British Vauxhall Cavalier/ mainland Opel Ascona of August 1981 - October 1988 also had the idea of removal/replacement of the 3 part clutch through a bottom inspection cover without removing the gearbox, it won awards for it, you could do a clutch replacement in 45 minutes if you knew what you were doing. but GM realised they were losing service work because it was so easy, so deleted that great idea with the new 89 models.
MAYBE that’s where Ferrari got the idea.
Owned An Opel Monza cabriolet with that clutch system. Took me 20minutes to change the clutch and 15 minutes more to collect the tools, put them away and wash my hands :)
Absolutely superb design, even faster than changing the clutch in my split window VW kombi!
The replacement of the clutch on a Ferrari 308 does not require the removal of the transversely fitted engine and/or transmission assembly - which is a significant benefit as clutches on these cars are not 'long lived' - when the cars are used with verve. The Dino 308 GT4 (later named Ferrari Dino 308 GT4) was the first Ferrari fitted with the said V8 and it first introduced in 1973 which predates the Cavalier/Ascona by some 8 years.
@@georgebettiol8338 Can you change the clutch in 45 minutes or less on the Ferrari??
@@andrewallen9993 Depends on the profeciency of the mechanic.
Just a shout out to Car Wizard.... 900k+ subscribers and still growing... Great videos.... Wish you and your team all the best for the future
Yeah, that storm came through on Friday afternoon! Thankfully we were spared the hail!
Heck yeah that's what one I saw on the trailer headed to your shop! Very nice!
Urination Bob! He’s a really nice man. Long time in the business and has done his time taking a lot of risks to get where he is. He just needs a decent mechanic now to make the repairs 😂😂😂 I’m sure Daniel will make it right 👍🏻
Thanks!
I know Rosso Corsa is the go-to color for a Ferrari, but there's nothing like Giallo Modena! 😍
I'm not a fan of cars that look like bananas.
It's just crazy that a car that cost so much to start with has the most problems!!!! 30 something thousand miles and needs an engine out!!! I got a mercury mountaineer with 200,000 miles and never engine out. Just regular maintenance and almost no problems for 200,000miles, and only paid $4000 for it!!!!! Love it!!!
They are more complicated which could potentially result in less reliability (not always). Does not help that these high end sportscars live horrible lives. Just 30.000 miles in a few decades sounds like it has been standing wuite s lot or had lots of cold starts. Is not too surprising it is a money pit.
@@BigBearBjornaThe engine and the entire suspension are mounted on a subframe . Removing the engine is easy. You take the engine out on the subframe to change the cam belts. It's really no big deal.
@@BigBearBjorna Then the NSX would definitely seem like a much better value for the money... You can get at least 100K+ miles on those if taken cared of properly!
@@bobolulu7615 yup it's designed this way cuz it's basically an old school race car so stupid when people compare this engineering to their basic ordinary cars not even in the same category
For years I have thought that the Wizard was calling him "Urination Bob."
Hoovie started that. Lol
@@21Piloteer Oh good thanks, so I am not the weirdo, Tyler is.
Urination bob will forever be his name.😂😂😂
No such thing as a budget Ferrari, at least when it comes to repairs. The only thing cheap about a Ferrari many times is the owner.
what a horrible car as well as Lamborghini.
I actually quite liked the rain sounds in the background.
As a friend used to say about his Porsche 928....If you want to play you have to pay!
NO SHIT!!! 🤑
makes me glad i still have my corvairs,,,, cheap to drive cheap to fix,,,an now most is just age parts nothing big
Parts on carts! Yayyy 🤘🏽🔥😀
They call that “arrest me red”.
Its always nice to see mechanics who care
I hope the guys in the body shop can fix all that hail damage wizard ⛈⚡️⛈ like the Ferrari, not the rear light cover, to 80’s, magnum p.I.
3:25 the blank is where the button for the interior light is in the coupe (tb/GTB)
5:00 "Dorthy!! Dorthy!!!!"
Therapy is now in session.
Love that bimmer e21 behind you car wizard.
What’s the BMW 320I?…in for…a video, hopefully..
Nice work Daniel-san
I need more Daniel San.
Holy crap that storm looked awesome!
Someone may have already mentioned this, but the fences on the cam belt drive wheel have been known to pop off and destroy the belt and engine. The fences should be welded or brazed to the wheel for safety.
1:30 "Parts on Carts" good name for a second channel.
I love how shocked Car Wizard is telling us about the price of repairs as if he's not the one generating the price
People need to be made aware of these things before they get that eBay "buy it now" cheap Ferrari....and then get service bills north of $20,000 just to get it to run correctly. Those time-bomb cars are NOT in short-supply - many Exotic owners LIE about their service expenditures to get-out of properly maintaining a car they're looking to sell.
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni 100% FACTS!!!
This is honestly what youtube was designed for.
Ferrari CEASE AND DESIST Letter is on the way /s 😅
The parts market on this particular Ferrari is rich and not too pricy,
That interior is all banged up for only having 37,000 miles on it! Little nicks and fine scratches EVERYWHERE.
You can find many used and new parts in excelent conditions is not so expensie nowadays. Some people like to dramatize it.
Yeargh, but how much will cost ya to get all those parts installed tho? 🤑
lmao of course Daniel San would be happy when a Ferrari comes into the shop as he knows that means he's going to probably get a lot of hours working on it since when a Ferrari breaks it tends to be something expensive
The Fat Car Wizards has the coolest walk on RUclips! I'd love to see a continuous loop video of him just waddling around on his stubby little legs with Aerosmith's WALK THIS WAY as the background music!
You can pull the clutch out on a 308, Mondial 8 and QV with out dropping anything, as well as change timing belts. and Amen on the timing belts - age = dry rot and crack,
Can it be done by yourself, and how much will it cost ya?
I recommend getting the SRI Gold Connector Kit for older Ferrari's.
Been wondering where Urination has been? Good to see.
2:39 Look at DAT Price is Right SPORTS TYPE font in the gauges.
The 348 is steadily rising in value in recent years plus it looks retro cool, like a baby Testarossa; so it is absolutely worth the cost to fix it right!
I wish I’d have had the money to buy one pre-pandemic when they were just around 50 grand in good condition! 😩
NO - the 348 is still a Maintenance nightmare. The Transverse engine design means that the engine MUST be removed to perform many basic service tasks. Ferrari/Exotic shop labor-rates have all increased, but the amount of hours to remove a 348 engine has not decreased....so just getting access to service issues starts at $2-3K before any real work can be performed. Couple that with the scarcity of quality 348 parts, some items are already NLA anywhere. Hard Pass.
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni Then I'll take an NSX instead... NO worries for at least 100K miles as long as proper maintenance is kept up! 🤗
@MichaelJames-lz7ni In the 348 the engine is mounted longitudinally, not transversely like in the 308/328 that preceeded it.
I have a wealthy plastic surgeon. She waits till a red light comes on before any services on her newer Ferrari. She wants to drive not service. These cars need more preventive maintenance vs regular cars. They are not as durable as mass produced cars
When will we see Mrs Wizard’s Ferrari 308?
You can do the clutch on an Austin Maxi without removing the gearbox, or engine, which is a good job, because they were known for the crank seal failing early.
Agree with your comment, the 348 is a much better looking car than the 355, but of course that's my preference. The 355 is a great 'modern' Ferrari', but I prefer the more analogue 348, perhaps because the Testarossa similarity is so iconic. The interior is compact but easily fits my "overweight" proportions, and much wider than the 328. And the instrument cluster continues the 328 design with the orange dials, 100% better than the white on black 355 dash. Good video.
Ferrari should just bring back the Testarossa and JUNK all of their UGLY-ASS modern garbage shit designs... WTF is so wrong about cars from the 80s? 🤔
The worst enemy of Ferrari's seems to be: low mileage. It's like buying a racehorse and leaving it in the barn all year, expecting it to perform flawlessly on race day. Except the cars don't get fat and lazy. They quietly corrode and all the seals, o-rings dry out.
Whilst it's true that not exercising a car can lead to some issues - the very worst that one can do is conduct NO maintenance irrespective of the miles driven per year. That seems to be a common trait amongst some car owners who buy an expensive car and are unwilling and somewhat belligerent when it comes to spending monies to maintain it.
Would love to see the engine come out.
8:30 min - and that's basically the life of exotic sports cars. 😏
Danial-San should do a video on this.
It’s the mileage and the years that take a toll on a car. Even a car sitting in a garage for 30 years will have issues. Cars were not designed for longevity
True, but ya can't just park it out on the street or driveway tho... Especially if it's a Ferrari! 🤨
Labeling where the horn is important on a Ferrari. They are normally at the grips. Never fails in the track a Ferrari takes a turn horn blaring. I can imagine the clutch being that fast to replace. Remember, these are race cars for the street.
That’s a beautiful car no doubt about it!My favorite sports car is still the Corvette followed by the Porsche and then the Ferrari!😉
I had a lotus turbo esprit and loved it. Had to tap out and sell it. Car was no joke when it came to maintenance repair costs.
Was it a V8?
@@OtomoTenzi 84 4 cylinder
@@chefgromano5025 OK, I get it... Those things are NIGHTMARES when it comes to repairs! 🤑
You could just block off the after-cat temp sensors with an approriate resistor to always give a correct reading but I agree why half-ass a ferrari.
Especially when you are the one who profits from the repairs.
Replace the cats because we want to keep a light from going off? Delete the light bulb, too.
Beautiful car
uncle uses an air eraser to clean terminals best tool ever
Come on Wizard I know a Ferrari is not a Subaru but I love my 2 Subarus way more than a Ferrari I don't own. I would spend whatever it took to keep them running like tops. Just wish I lived closer to you! After all it is almost always cheaper to repair what you have than buying a new one.
Remember a Subaru in the mirror is U R A BUS.
I'd take a fully-modded Subaru WRX STI with Turbo (pushin' over 750+ HP) ANY DAY over this overpriced 30-year old money pit... At least the parts are gonna hella easier to find! 👍
Good Stuff 👍
Expensive Shit 👎
Friends don't let friends buy 348s and 355s 😂
where are junior mint and that sympathetic merc dude? havent seen them for a couple of vids.
Another car that you ask yourself, " Can I afford to keep it?"
'NO' is the right answer!
What? You can't do anything about the weather? What kind of wizard are you? 🤣
A car wizard, not a cloud wizard.
Great content Wizard, but theres one thing we disagree on...and that is that the 355 looks better than the 348 🙂
it does
And they claim that the 348 is one of the most 'AFFORDABLE' Ferraris ever made... 😝
The major problem with Ferraris is that they break down way to much
What a lot of rubbish. I have a 308 that I've owned for 17 years and it's never let me down. I've never had it in a shop for service either, rather doing all service work myself. They are quite simple to work on. I've used mine as a daily driver for 3 years at one time and it's never failed. I suspect you've been reading too many lies and bullshit on the net.
@@bobolulu7615 MOST people wouldn't be aware of all that tho; cuz they're prolly not qualified mechanics themselves, and Ferraris in general are just too costly and outta reach for most car buyers... If that wasn't really a problem, then EVERYONE in the neighborhood would own one!
You can do a clutch and flywheel replacement on Porsche 928
Just beautiful
