Ferrari Enzo - Lateral-g Forums

Could be worse, an acquaintance of mine took his Enzo in for his first oil change and found pieces of valve spring in the oil...$100k later he had a new engine...

Scary thoughts, but still wish I could own one.

If you can afford a $1.5 million car then $5k is like chump change.

I'm a Ferrari Tech - Leaving the key "on" & discharging the battery would NOT blow any sensors or control units - factory Ferrari batteries are terrible & they constantly die & need replacement - so jump starting is very common - No special procedure either Red - Positive & Black - Negative - I would say use a factory diagnostic tester & find out what's going on with those warning lights

seems a little over the top to say all the sensors are bad. I would venture to say that it would toast an ECU before it kills a sensor. The ecu is in the way of all those sensors and a lot more fragile.

I've seen it a few times on a few benzs. Jump started improperly has killed a few things.

not a cheap fix on an enzo either way I presume.

The guy left the key on draining the battery, the ensuing jump start caused all the lights to come on. FWIW, the guy drove it to the shop. I will post up exactly what is wrong when my buddy tells me.

There are several fuses (that look nothing like standard fuses) right on the positive battery terminal - theses should protect all the circuits - definitely test all of those first - let me know what he finds & pm me if you need any more info - Dion

I would be happy having a Ferrari with a dead battery in my garage, I wouldn't be to upset with it...lol
