After about 10 days of placing the order the replacement thermocouple ordered from http://www.prosport-ferrari.co.uk/ arrived in a discrete package in the mail. Inside was: a shiny new thermocouple in a genuine Ferrari parts bag as expected. Opening this up revealed: Taking a closer look at the part we find the actual thermocouple at one end with the attaching bolt. Connected to braided wire, with a short plastic shelve for clamping to the body. That then leads another plastic shelve and finally to a connector that will plug into the ECU unit. A = 70mm (from the tip to the end of the flange B = 68mm (from flange to beginning of spring) C = 55mm (spring) D = 150mm (spring to first plastic covering) E = 40mm (first plastic covering) F = 345mm (between plastic coverings) G = 93mm (second plastic covering and connector) Overall = 682mm So the connector on this lead will go into the ECU here while the thermocouple will go into the catalytic converter here, secured by the nut Co-incidentally, someone else I was chasing up the part with came back today with a quote of AU $357.50. Quite a bit more the AU $136 I paid! Just goes to show you that it pays to spend some time searching on the Internet and that places you find (like http://www.prosport-ferrari.co.uk/) provide a really good and efficient service. So tomorrow, the new part will be swapped in soand we'll see whether it is long enough. Fingers crossed. |
