Whats up at Dino Service? Updates from our Workshop:
In this and the following blogs we want to show a few of the recent jobs ain our workshop.
Double Timing Belt Service Ferrari 308:
Ferrari 308 GTS (the black one):
This 308 is with coming back for service since 10 years. The car has some extra horses and our stainless steel exhaust. The result is a spectacular noise even though we admit you might not become the neighbours best friend when firing this in the early morning. Listen here for an engine that has been build most similar!
This time the 308 was in for the "big service". Timing belt, fluid exchange and a few while we were in there's. Also this 308 never recieved our check in inspection even though it has been with us for so long already, so it was time to do that as well.
This check in inspection is a structerd examination of all technical functions. The mechanic works through a list of hundrets line items resulting in a mostly complete fault documentation. This documentation shall be for the owners use do make decissions what he wants to have repaired. This time the major find was the missing clutch servo spring. The job of this spring is to prevent the drivers knee as well as the clutch release bearing from damage. The important function of the screw is to keep the clurch bearing away from the pressure plate, so they won't touch undefined and run hot.
So we had to install the spring and its mounting components
After that we got the stamp from the vehicle testing authorothies and deliverd the car to the client in our closed trailor
Ferrari 308 GTB (the white one):
first of all we need to mention that white suits the 308 nice, especially with the black interiors. But the owner did not bring her to hear praises how pretty his car is but instead mostly for a timing belt change. So same story as for the black 308. Only we found this one lagging some power as well. We found the igntion timing off which was corrected quicky and carburettors that did not react on tuning the CO-screw at all. Also the carburettors were leaking, which gave us enough reasons to convince the ower to do the complete carburettor overhaul. The overhaul is a standard procedure here for the V6-Dinos as well as for the 308's.

The 308 is running great again. Job done.
