If you own a Ferrari F430, then you know that it’s a fun car to drive around the track and on the street! Although the Ferrari F430 improves on the Ferrari 360, both cars require significant TLC and maintenance.

The F430 is a gorgeous machine, but are you familiar with the most common Ferrari repair issues found on this beautiful car? Take a look at this list below to find out!
Failing Motor Mounts
Unfortunately, the Ferrari F430’s motor mounts are prone to failure. If you feel engine bay vibrations and notice the engine moving more than usual, the motor mounts are likely failing. Because the motor mounts are rubber, the high temperatures in the engine bay, combined with the vibration from such a powerful engine, cause them to fail.
Cracking Exhaust Manifolds & Exhaust Brackets
Many F430 owners will most likely experience problems with their exhaust manifolds or exhaust brackets at some point. There is a known design flaw in the F430 manifold that causes cracking. This is due to the extreme heat emitted by the exhaust system as it expands and contracts.
Because of the car’s solid exhaust mounting brackets and the constant heating-and-cooling cycle, stress is placed on the brackets and exhaust manifolds. Eventually, the exhaust support brackets crack, causing a rattling noise. When exhaust manifolds crack, it can cause a serious problem because they contain a pre-cat that can fail, allowing exhaust gases to enter the engine. Cracked manifolds can be a very costly repair because they can cause catastrophic engine failure.
Failing F1 Transmission Systems
The F1 system is highly complex. Some owners have reported such issues as dropping out of gear or skipping gears. Excess air can cause issues in the system, including F1 pump failure.
