Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the timing belt be replaced on the F355, and does this manual cover it?
Ferrari specifies a 3-year or 15,000-mile timing belt replacement interval for the F129B/C V8 – one of the most critical and expensive maintenance items on the F355. This manual includes complete step-by-step belt routing diagrams, tensioner torque values, and camshaft alignment procedures so the job can be performed correctly.
Does this manual cover both the standard manual gearbox and the F1 paddle-shift transmission?
Yes. Full service data is included for the conventional 6-speed manual and for the F1 electrohydraulic automated manual introduced mid-production in 1997. Coverage spans actuator diagnostics, hydraulic accumulator service, clutch adjustment, and complete gearbox overhaul for both variants.
Are North American chassis codes and market-specific wiring diagrams included?
The manual covers both right- and left-hand drive configurations, including North American market F355s with chassis codes in the ZFFPR48, ZFFXR48, and ZFFWR48 series. Wiring diagrams detail connector pin assignments, wire colors, ground locations, and ABS/air-conditioning circuits relevant to US-spec vehicles.
