Next Episode about this SAGA will be on my NEW Car Channel:
ua-cam.com/channels/ZyeHp8vyKZEMbFktTB7ldQ.html
Bro usually i would be sad about that but for a dude who is bragging about buying a Ferrari and showing off so much that I love to watch you this m8😂😂😂
when is the next episode? I subscribed to that channel
@@crazypasta7749salty much mate?? What colour is your Ferrari...why be a hater .. just watch someone else 🤔 .. looking forward to episode 3 @nico 👍
When I saw that Hublot watch on the wall I just knew you were in big trouble, my guess is Ferrari called Hublot and it let to what followed.
@NicoLeonard get in touch with GMK m8. Car youtuber in Monaco & Watch collector. great guy may be he can help & may be you cann review his watch collection
Having owned Ferraris and taken them to both official dealers and independent garages, I think the mistake here is two things happened at the same time: one, you modified the cars electronics. I’m not sure if you claimed otherwise, but this isn’t a trivial type of exhaust. It’s likely the whole system, including messing with sensors/electronics and their readings, touching the cats, etc.. The second issue is you’re out of your country. This means language barriers, confusing rules about where the issues occurred and therefore who should and shouldn’t service and cover the costs… It’s just messier. I think one or the other events would be fine, but I think with both happening at the same time, they’re just seeing your issue as a pain in the ass. So the easiest thing to do is say, “you touched the electronics and you have an electronic issue, that’s on you.” And as mad you are allowed to be at that, they’re not wrong. And if there’s one thing supercar ownership has taught me it’s if you can’t afford paying for all this shit out of pocket, don’t do it, because you might just have to. And personally, I find the cameras in their faces not helpful either. It’s Ferrari Monaco, not Honda in the boonies. They don’t need your marketing. If anything, they will be extra hesitant to do anything special for you because corporate can see it. I wouldn’t pound fists back either because I wouldn’t want to create that connection unless I really knew you and the situation when my bosses could be watching. I’m not shitting on Nico at all, I’m just speaking from my experience…
How is changing an exhaust fucking up the electronics lol cuz novitec is reputable brand im sure they have the proper plugs to put in those sensors in. Ferrari is just a trash brand they treat their customers like shit. I own a porsche and a lambo i have exhausts and tunes on them and i still have my warranty lol
They are so obviously turned off by those cameras shoved in their faces. Absolute madness that he thought that was a good idea.
Could not agree more with your observation and assumption!
@@jakkor1106 I‘ve never had problems with Ferrari when it comes to aftermarket exhaust. That’s why I said I think the approach is just not right… I think it’s just the wrong dealer (barely speak English) at the wrong time (they’re busy) with the wrong guy (new customer with no rapport at that dealership) acting the wrong way (cameras in their face acting like they’re bros). My point is, the vibe in the entire interaction seems off, so I think he’s getting the wrong treatment now.
Couldn't agree more
This is a criminal amount of fist bumps
I was annoyed to...
I stopped counting at like 20
I cringed more and more each time til he left the dealership the first time then your comment came up 😂
He’s compensating for not knowing how to drive.😂
He’s proper cringe couldn’t he see they thaught he was a bell end
If it's completely out of warranty then you could crate it back to England and get Mat to look at it for you. Would be a great collaboration. :)
Yeah that's exactly what it needs, adding oil and coolant leaks on top of everything
As a technician for one of the major German Manufactures , I always tell a consumer to not modify the vehicle without checking the warranty. Things like this happen when an outside electronic gets installed, by a company that seems 100% reputable. The issue is the vehicle is completely new and odds are the installer does not understand the wiring of the vehicle and they tend to probe wires to "find" what wire to (Tap into, or cut into for power or ground). Then you have over heating wires and other modules cutting short because of high resistance , or short. Anyways best of luck, hopefully someone can help you out Nico. I've got my fingers crossed , much luck to you Brother.
Expensive mistake. Kind of like putting diamonds in your watch lmao.
😂. Karma
He talks like a full exhaust is the same as changing wheels lol
@@rayd3268 Because he knows as much about cars as guys with after market diamonds watches about watches ...
Silly boy
So they can't fix it , so sad . Can they remove the anti theft device causing the issue ?
I thought it was common knowledge that you don't put on aftermarket items on a brand new car unless you just don't care about your warranty
Yeh you can’t do it on a Toyota.. so far less chance you can get away with it on a supercar.
Yes just like putting diamonds in a watch
Ya i thot that was common knowledge. And i dont even own a supercar to know that 😂
My best guess is that the Novitec exhaust replaces the OPF filters and the bypass system (if something like that is installed) is not doing a great job fooling the ECU into thinking that the OPFs are still in place. But that's just a guess, since I don't know the whole story
I had an anti theft system on my 2009 Pontiac G5, it absolutely wrecked my computer system to the point it wasn’t worth repairing. Basically the same thing you’re dealing with here. Exactly the same pretty much.
Dude shits on modifying a watch, then says "I didn't modify the car. I made it better." I love you buddy, but you can't really be too surprised that Ferrari voided your warranty.
So then the OTHER question is, what does NOVITEC have to say about the issue? Can't be good publicity for a company the SPECIALIZES in aftermarket Ferrari exhausts to have their product somehow COMPLETLEY FRYING a car's stock ECU! And isn't an exhaust a 100% reversible modification? Like, wouldn't it have been possible to swap the original equipment back on BEFORE taking it to the Ferrari service? Assuming this had happened at home...
Cars and watches are completely different lmao you can turn that car right back to stock you cannot do that to a watch
@@StreetPreacherrprobably very difficult to completely reverse the modification. The ECU would be completely remapped for the new exhaust, so even if it was put back to stock, the software would show on the change log. Getting into the software change log would be proprietary Ferrari technology, so they would still find out it was mod’s. Your right that NOVITEC may want to save face and do something because of the publicity, but their position will always be it’s a Ferrari issue until you prove me otherwise.
Ha, so true 😂
Not a fair comparison, more like replacing the watch strap when you add an exhaust to an v12
Man made all those salesmen so uncomfortable lol
100%
They were service writeup reps.
Legends hahahaha fist bump??
The way he basically forced them to tell him how good the engine sounds… pathetically vain lmao
An incredible video on everything not to do to a new Ferrari. Besides the aftermarket exhaust system, I think the 10,000 RPM donuts in the parking lot did not help.
First thing to not do with a Ferrari is buy one. He made the mistake when he purchased a horse not a bull.
it's a supercar you fucking melt, he's doing what it's made for
Hope you’ll get out of this situation soon. Super happy for you with achieving your goal with getting dream Ferrari you seem to be really pure hearted good person so really hang in there, you’ll find a solution somehow. I had a pleasure of driving 458 Italia in Maranello. Waiting for one of my dream cars now Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 and definitely going to Monaco for a ride. Seeing you doing well keeps me motivated, so keep it up.
PS You were right about every single thing about submariner owners in one of your videos, traditionalist myself.
Everyone knows how strict Ferrari is and you shouldn't mess with it until the warranty runs out, I feel really bad for you and I hope you get it fixed without to much trouble but this will probably be an expensive learning experience.
He just modified his rolex with TraxNYC diamonds hahshaha
Hopefully they give him back a 10th of the value like these idiots do with watches
TBH the fact their workshop was full for about 1.5 weeks should be a red flag.
Most people with that level of income AND who are strong car enthusiasts would rather get that AMAZING aftermarket exhaust (I prefer Capristo Stage 3) than "suffer" with the stock exhaust. Warranty be damned.
I THINK you can get AFTERMARKET warranties, however. He should still do that!! But, read on.
I gave my BMW dealer shop foreman $100 bottles of Single Malt Scotch Whiskey when I needed to. He warrantied ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on my HIGHLY modified E46 M3 at the time. He saved me THOUSANDS of dollars!! My outlay may have been $300 to $400 in booze over that last two years of the BMW warranty.
This owner could have established a close and personal relationship with SOME UK dealership. He can still try that.
I ALWAYS find a way.....and it involves reading people. Dealerships have a WIDE latitude of what they can do. Oversight by any car manufacturer's International entity is mostly absent.
@@imcacklinghere8693 Yeah find an alcoholic car mechanic before he's committed for fraud
If someone got a new Rolex and went and iced it out and it broke because the jewler fucked it up, Nico would be the first person making a video on how this isnt Rolex's fault and mocking the owner. Just saying.
Although ONE difference is that changing an exhaust should be a 100% REVERSIBLE modification... Compared to 'icing out' a watch, which requires DRILLING HOLES into the original bezel/bracelet/etc... I just wonder if Ferrari would have even known if he had been at home and could have had the stock exhaust put back on before taking the car to Ferrari service? Assuming they didn't see his video lol.
Fr I like this perspective
I think exhaust changes the back pressures on the engine, which would change the tune. You also have lambda sensors on the exhaust, so you may have to modify sensors and remap, so I dont know if it is as straightforward to reverse. The car would log all the changes.@@StreetPreacherr
@@StreetPreacherr Yes you can put the exhaust back on, but there is potential that there was irreversible damage created within the system by using an after market exhaust, putting the exhaust back on doesn't solve those problems. Best course is to get it back to factory exhaust and then have all the issues fixed and keep it factory. "I young enough know the right car to buy yet grown enough not to put rims on it"
@@StreetPreacherrhe also added an immobilizer which required wiring and a bypass. The exhaust may also not be as well shielded and could have melted a wire.
I love Nico’s car content, never thought we needed this. Good luck on the Ferrari!
I don't know much about Novitek exhaust systems, but could it be something simple like a faulty sensor, or even heat from the exhaust melting some wiring (as I said, I dont know how well it's shielded, or if there's any wiring near it) and causing a short somewhere? If it is, a new ECU will be an expensive way to not fix the problem.
I love how Nico reverts to his normal Hublot hating self when he sees the Hublot wall clock! He forgets the car and his attention is grabbed by the unacceptable thing on the wall! Legend!
In the US they have to prove the modification contributed to the failure in order to legally invalidate the warranty.
Lol nvm that, they treat you the same way even if you don't modify.
U sure? Most warranties are voided when you do mods within a short time after buying a new car. I'd have swapped the stock exhaust on, then took it in.
@divinedriftofficial yea that would've been his best bet to do it that way. I'm pretty sure him modifying the car had to do with the computer acting up
@@divinedriftofficial Yes. There have been a lot of lawsuits about it. Just like when Nissan was voiding warranties for using launch control on the GTR. The courts in that case determined they weren't allowed to void the warranty for a feature that was not only on the vehicle, but one used widely in the advertising to sell the vehicle. People say the US is lawsuit happy, but sometimes it's a good thing.
yep had a dealer try and void a warranty before due to an exhaust system that... THEY INSTALLED!!! needless to say an attorney got that sorted out for me
„Mia is going crazy. We have to replace her brain 🧠“.
I like the part where the garage guy says „We don’t know, but we will replace the UCU“. Absolute expert knowledge 😂
Ferrari are totally spot on! What have novitech said about it? Can't be great for their work to cause the ECU to fry within a few weeks (nevermind the manner of driving)
You've put diamonds on your Patek 😂😂
They're factory diamonds that's why he's not against diamonds it's when it's aftermarket and you drill into you're original bezel and depreciate the watches value.
@@hellboygrim666you missed the joke, m8
@@hellboygrim666Novitec definitely not “factory”
@@myou6675 are you dumb who said novitech was factory?
@BWen3 no I got the joke but it's not a joke if dude isn't against diamond in watches to begin with.
This is a known issue with new Ferraris and Novitec. The bypass plug unit doesn’t always work.
So does that mean that NOVITEC is aware of the issue and has some sort of FIX for it? I'd imagine if the mod somehow FRIED the original ECU then it's likely to do the same thing to any replacement? And doesn't NOVITEC provide their own separate warranty for their parts at least? It's not like he threw on some bargain basement Chinese Straight Pipe 'tin steel' exhaust... Novitec is a VERY well known, and EXPENSIVE, designer/manufacturer of aftermarket equipment MOSTLY for 'EXOTIC' cars!
@@StreetPreacherrthey can be as well known, designer, and expensive as you want, but if their contract says they take no responsibility for anything that goes wrong with the car other than their equipment, and you agree to that, then tough luck! It’s up to you to take them to court and prove that. Good luck getting Ferrari involved in that.
@@dmc3067 it won't come to court , not with Nicos YT presence

Good luck and I subbed to the new channel. Hopefully good news on the update.
Good luck hope they sort it for you 🤞🙏
Nico is gonna be Anthony Farrer 2.0 the way he’s headed. Wearing an RM and driving a Ferrari and complaining about the £1600 / night hotel 😂
Car is awesome. Golden rule with anything under warranty .. NEVER modify or open it up and fiddle.. Warranty VoID ! Rm's arggh ?!
Travis Baker 2.0
The watch he's wearing is his advert, seller like to do that sometime so they can sell it anytime.
Well I can definitely tell you what ONE of the warning ligths is... at 1:24 you can clearly see you're not wearing your seatbelt!! You're welcome!
You’d imagine that Nico would have checked with Ferrari before modding, on what happens with the warranty. No? Feel really bad for Nico
No because this was done in the cowboy amateurish American car world where they think a Ferrari is just a more expensive Mustang. And any garage project looks "professional" to the people over there. Just look how amateurish their PPFs are.
Why would u feel bad for him? He asked for it
If i was Ferrari i would also tell him to go f him self
And you did not call Novitec as well? But hillarious nevertheless, especially the afterbuy-service from Ferrari 😂😂😂
Always a gamble when you know modding it will invalidate the warranty, especially when taking it on a roadtrip... to Monaco. Doesn't even really matter if it was the Novitec upgrades or not if modding = no warranty. I doubt the finance company would be too pleased either, it's probably in their terms and conditions not to mod it as well.
@@bealerDSBidk why he doesn't just go back to stock.
I don't think the doughnuts helped TBF.
This is for sure an issue with the immobilizer system, likely a short circuit when the system was wired in. Nico doesnt understand that the exhaust isnt the modification that likely upset Ferrari.
Nico, it's sad too see you frustrated and upset but you are the architect of your own downfall. You cannot abuse and drive the car the way you did and not expect it to go wrong. Once you get it back drive it nicely, with a bit of mechanical sympathy .
@@davidstewart343 Agreed.
BRO REMOVE THE VODAPHONE TRACKER IMMEDIATELY!!! My dad had it on his Porsche and they just kept killing his car on his driveway and then when we called them they denied that it was the immobiliser but as soon as we put the phone down the car worked again. It happened 3 times like that. Then the Porsche tech told us that VODAPHONE tracker is shit and they do this all the time. It cost a lot of money to get call out Porsche tech’s because of that shit tracker. Remove it and get a different one
Are you saying they are remote killing the Ferrari...? When the unit was INSTALLED BY FERRARI?
The old Cobra system was much better
@@zildogit literally was not
I had similar thing happen to my BMW loads of faults turned out was earth lead corroded fitting. So computer was going crazy with faults. Was fine once earth lead was fixed. I wondered if your modified exhausted installation caused earth cable issue..
😂😂😂 having such a shit day at the Ferrari service and you happen to look over to a Hublot on the wall 😂 had me cracking up
Never change anything if you want to keep your warranty. Especially with a car of that value, not to mention Ferrari is known to be very tight with the rules of owning a Ferrari.
For Nico they may just make him take it back to stock and fix it.
Lesson learned kids, don’t modify your Ferrari then immediately rag it close to the most expensive place in the world!
another lesson would be dont buy a ferrari....
i think the lure of car youtubing made him blind to the expense of it all , Nico has a watch channel and a business to run ,, the kids that have these car youtube channels probably make millions a year so they can do burn outs and frape it around the streets like a Ford escort in the 90's , Nico buys one and does the same but now realises the huge expense.
@@ChimsThoughts true ferrari's are shit cars tbh.. always something wrong. better off getting a lambo. those sound better stock anyways since the only nice sounding ferrari is the laferrari
@@AngelDarkwongWhat makes you think that? Just because the Ferrari service center is COMPLETLEY backed up for like TWO WEEKS doesn't necessarily mean their cars tend to have a lot of issues... They were just nice to even allow him to spend a QUARTER MILLION POUNDS to purchase the car in the first place! And WHY do they think a brand new ECU will fix the problem? Unless the original computer was 'bad', then won't a new ECU just have the same problems?
@@StreetPreacherr 100% agree with you here! Wasn’t convinced when they said a new ECU will fix the problem when they don’t even know the cause (or at least didn’t say on camera). Computer components do fail, but I think he bought a Friday 5pm car. Add to that the modification just tipped it over the edge! The new UA-cam channel Nico MK2 is probably an attempt to monetise videos of all the faults it will have! Can’t blame him really!
I think Nico isn't aware that a brand new exhaust system, needs the engine to be "remapped", aka work on the main cpu and electronics.
Had you done just the mufflers I don't think they would have been able to void a thing, but airflow and gear chart adjustments definitely have all to do with the electronics of your beautiful machine.
P.s. I agree with other comments, all that videoing "right in your face" isn't appreciated at Ferrari... I get it, it's what you do, but if you really wanna take care of this issue, there's a time and place for everything.
No, they don't typically require it. That is just internet myth where the OCD types rule. Yes, you can get more power from a tune.. but it isnt typically required. If you pull cats, that CAN be a different story.
@@-Jason-L I seriously doubt this is just a cat-back
Hey Nico you remind me of a mate of mine he is upfront and honest when he has fuck something up like mods on his car. Good on you mate being a man of integrity and Honour. 🇦🇺🙏 Good luck brother hope it all works out for you and love your videos mate keep them coming.
Nothing better than reading "BROKE MY BRAND NEW FERRARI" to make your day feel like its not going terrible.
Feeling optimistic ehh?😂😂
More money different problems. 😂
how many times did you want to fist bump these poor people?
I had a similar situation like this in the Swiss alps this summer... days like these are never forgotten, that's for sure.
You rich as hell ma drilla!
Same happened to me, changed the strap on my Lange from original to a cheap nato strap... boom, stopped telling the time.
This brings up the memory of Nico renting the mustang , gets a flat tire … called it a piece of shit … beat the ever living crap out of the car and it still worked like new . Nico drives the Ferrari 5 miles and the shit breaks and manages to set off so many error lights it looked like his car was hosting a skrillex race
He fucked with a brand new Ferrari. That thing has a tuned exhaust to make it sound as good as it does but he just wants LOUD. This is on him, not the car, not the brand
If you’re even slightly worried about money in some capacity never buy a Ferrari. Millionaires should have Porsches, 10+ millionaires can get a Ferrari.
I owned a 550 and currently own an F12 and yes, they are expensive to maintain, but your statement couldn’t be further from truth.
Go and cry
Only found your channel through Mat Armstrongs it's great seeing you guys together, il be interested in the ferrari saga , I Do have a TAG acuracer does that count
I'm still drooling over the spec of that car. Literally the best looking 812 I've ever seen
This could (potentially) be a pretty bad advert for Novitec (not Ferrari). IF, the Novitec T&Cs don't mention a voiding of the warranty, then their legal team need to work directly with Ferrari to give you a resolution. But, if Ferrari don't have a direct agreement with Novitec, then Ferrari will hold all of the cards, and Novitec may be liable. If that is the case, then not only should they provide you with compensation, but they should also notify lots of their clients - YIKES!! (if it's in the T&Cs then it's on you). All modern car manufacturers can tell if their cars have been modified with aftermarket products - and it's an easy way out of warranty (keep in mind that insurance companies will ALWAYS look for a way out). I sincerely wish you the best of luck with this.
Nico knew about the void before installing….
@@weareallenemyofthestate9883 i wonder if he got talked into it by the youtube lads , one thing they dont worry about is warranties and repairs as their youtube channels make big money, they can afford to repair the cars. , i think whats happened is Nico has blindly gone into buying a Ferrari with the hope of doing car youtubing and they have probably said you need this exhaust to make it sound good on videos etc.. and Nico went with it, most times you never need the warranty, its just bad luck sadly
Its pretty well known that any aftermarket mods, on pretty much any car brand void the warranty
@@denzel1832not necessarily, but all they need to do is stick to their guns until you decide to take them to court. Even then it will be your expert vs their expert that the mod was anything to do with the failure. But you are right, best just not getting your car modified if you want to be sure they will honour the warranty.
He mentioned in the video this problem was apparent before the exhaust change
I really feel your pain Nico., I was stranded ironically in Monaco exactly during the yacht show weekend with electronic issues in a rented Lamborghini SVJ back in 2021. Looking forward to seeing the outcome in your new channel.
Could it be the ground wire? Cars have random points of grounding, and the random issue kinda points to this - depending on the signal load and the heat on the wire will change the resistance of the wire.
Hopefully everything works out. Saw ferrari gave your warranty back though from Chris's video. What's the exhaust company saying about the situation?
The Ferrari technicians in Monaco look like fashion tv models 😂
Enzo did not want to touch your car again. That was no secret in their looks.
Or his fist
Nick just subscribed met you through DDE. Love your watch I love a nice watch. I think Mia may have a STD. Take care mate from Oz
Nico: "I farted while driving the car" Ferrari: "That must be the problem, it's not original"
Never mess with a new car. Especially this expensive.
Boooorrriiinggg😴
I feel your pain, I was just north of Monaco and my Alfa Giulia QV (half a Ferrari!) threw a wobbly with lights
Thankfully it was just the fuel cap needing releasing
Can’t imagine how that must have felt, damn
if you change the bezel or dial of a Rolex, would they still service it ?
I had this problem on my last car all the lights, symptoms pointing towards battery or ecu , it wasn’t a Ferrari but the thing in common was the Vodafone immobiliser, took it off and then the problem disappeared. Please make sure the rule out the Vodafone immobiliser 1st before you spend lots of money!
Ferrari definitely plants something in the software that messes with aftermarket parts. Seen a few videos now of after market exhausts on different models; 812, sf90 that makes the exhaust smoke like an old factory chimney, but when the stock one is refitted its totally fine
This is 100% true
@@keepitrollin5910 and 100% legal for Ferrari
Voiceovers are on point bro, great job ❤
Nico i had to subscribe to your channel as i saw you on Matt's channel i was thinking top bloke good luck fella
The Hublot wall click was epic
Better to transport it back to NI put the original exhaust back on and revert and ECU map. Especially if theyre going to make you pay for the ECU replacement. You seem to think an exhaust is just a mechanical mod but theres quite a few variables that are altered computer wise with that system. Also seems to be happening only when Engine has warmed up again, if so its definitely exhaust/wiring around the exhaust system.
This is what happens when you ice out your hublari
I like Nico but I do have to agree with some of the commenters, if your philosophy is don't modify a beautifully engineered high end watch, do not modify a beautifully engineered high end car.
Check the wire harness on the rear bumper, might of melted from exhaust heat, creating electric shortage.
I feel bad for you Nico but I truly do not understand why would you buy a car that expensive and then modify it. I mean at least check with Ferrari to make sure the mods are ok to do. This is a life lesson learned the hard way I guess. I truly hope things get better.
It was just an exhaust. Not engine modifications...
It's because he is dumb.
@@isportugal4k doesnt matter, maybe is a visual part, the contract is clear, and you sign it, i feel really bad for the guy, he is very funny and always has a nice attitude with everything but this time he screw up, knowing the reputaiton of Ferrari as brand, is a little dumb modify a car under his warranty, when they can even see it on a youtube video, was like what?, hope they fix the problem, put everything stock and stays only on a life lessons, if not, gonna be a very expensive mistake
@@isportugal4kIt wasn’t ‘just an exhaust’ this isn’t just a Smart car. To fit an after market exhaust to a vastly precision manufactured super car you need similar technical expertise to design and fit a host of new sensors, modify the software, re-route looms, upgrade gaskets, test and regulate back pressure and temperatures etc. Just ask Novitec how long it took them to design this ‘after market exhaust’. The only thing I can say is with a half a million pound super car any mods that include such extensive modifications check with your dealer or at least check the forums for any related issues.
@@isportugal4k A full exhaust system change on a modern car is a major modification.
Let's be fair here - it was YOU that replaced the exhaust, and undoubtedly the airflow and chamber sensors which communicate back to the central ECU. I don't think it's fair to say that 'Ferrari have f***ed you in the arse' - you did that all by yourself, right?! I don't think its reasonable to expect a manufacturer to honour their warranty T&C's when a 3rd party has made modifications. Perhaps the best you can hope for is to put the car back to stock, and then see if they'll honour the warranty?
And what has NOVITEC had to say about the situation? It's not like Novitec is some sketchy exhaust system hacked together in a shed... They're a HUGE aftermarket equipment designer & manufacturer that deals almost EXCLUSIVELY with component for EXPENSIVE EXOTIC CARS! I assume they went through extensive testing to maximize performance gains and compatibility with the Ferrari, so I assume NOVITEC would be fairly concerned if their very high priced exhaust setups were completely FRYING stock ECUs!
Good points . The only thing I would say is that having modded the car Ferrari can claim that the damage has already been done. I just don't get why anyone would screw around with a car like that to make it sound 'better'. Apart from anything else, why attract any more attention from the police than is necessary? A car like that is a target anyway as they all discovered in Switzerland and bolting on extra bling makes it more so.
You didn’t listen very carefully he said it had done this prior to the exhaust being fitted
He had a obd scanner or something like that plugged in while driving. I heard from many mechanics that this could potentially mess up the computer and this car has multiple computers!
Yeah lol you didn’t listened properly, he got the issue prior to fitting the exhaust
It is a joke that Ferrari voids the warranty for changing the exaust. Unless they flashed a different software on the car for the exhaust the exhaust has nothing to do with this problem.
If you delete the CAT or the particle filter (withour editing the software) you will get one fault from the car that will say there is a problem with it (because it is missing) but noting like this!
“Baguette baguette, snails and frogs” lmfaoooooo
These cars work best when you don't modify anything on them! Ferrari hates when customers modify their cars so they make the computer trip on purpose. I thought you would learn this from watching DDE already.
6:16 - THE BEST MOMENT! 🤣😂
NICOOOOO YOUR THE MAN I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY MORE BLESSINGS ON THE WAY!!!!
Not sure either if it is a Novitec specific issue, but I have heard of a Novitec exhaust for a Maserati MC20 cause similar electrical/ECU gremlins also.
Nico, I bought a Rolex in Turkey, they said it was 100% genuine as it was made in Istanbul.
Ne sandın yrraam of course made in Türkiye
Nico I'm sorry to hear about your current situation.
But, if you drill holes in your RM, put diamonds in it. Then, when it breaks, take it back to RM to get it fixed. They will say you voided the warranty.
Quick lesson. By a used older car out of warranty to modify. Keep your now one stock until the warranty is over.
I had the same problem in Portugal with my Lusso which has a novitec.
I'd had the exhaust 3 yrs so it wasn't that, was a sensor near the brake that cost 16 euros.
Ferrari Portugal and Brian at Joe macari to thank.
You are a real piece of work. At 11:25 you subtitled the guy speaking French to eachother as “baguette Snails & Frogs”. How do you this that’s ok? Karma is the reason your Ferrari is broke! How are you blaming Ferrari for the warranty? You voided it, not them.
Nico you are an incredible content creator and I am a HUGE fan, the problem isn't just you though. All the creators who buy these super cars and hyper cars just seem to not be able to leave well enough alone. These are stock honda civic's that don't have complicated ECM's and other computers that make them the super cars they are. Spending a couple hundred grand on a car most people only dream of then feel they need it louder and faster. DDE perfect example, STRAD another example, these cars are designed to be awesome from the factory and it's a shame that the "in thing" is to make them so obnoxious that this happens. I truly hope you can this fixed because you worked to darn hard to have something so awesome be ruined.
That’s so true! Read the comments on his Ferrari delivery video and see how many wags are telling him he needs to go to Novitec and get a much louder exhaust. They basically think their subscriptions and views pay for the goodies and to a certain extent they do! Nico is an established UA-camr and could have got away with a separate car channel sans the ‘loud’ exhaust but he sees all the other car vloggers Tavarish, DDE et al and even joins DDE in the States so he didn’t stand a chance. But don’t feel sorry for him these mishaps will only raise his profile.
@@minitune7285 My thing is Nico doesn't need to have a car channel. He has two great channels. The whole thing with these mods to super cars is I guess part of the hype thing going around. But look at Manny and Shmee, the Hamilton collection guys they do factory mods. Especially Manny nothing on his cars is aftermarket or 3rd party and he has ten times the car value as most others. I am not hating on Nico I just wish he wouldn't follow these other guys because these cars were not made to be or need mods but yeah I guess that is what the audience wants to see. I just think it's foolish. I want nothing but the best for Nico he is awesome without a car channel
DDE and Stradman whole business model is to modify cars, that is why people watch them... :)
but ye - they are mostly ruining the cars and making them worse than factory..
"Have you ever seen a sad man in a Ferrari ?" Yes. Yes I have.
That man was Charles Leclerc.
@@Strix06 or Carlos at Melbourne.
@@CertifiedSlamboyor Nico Leonhard 😂😂😂😂
Man i cried fucking laughing about the zoom-in and his reaction when he saw the hublot clock 🤣😂
Being a factory trained Red Seal Technician with factory SET (specialized electrical training) I'd have removed the immobilizer system immediately. Step one of ANY electrical diagnostics flow charts asks you if any alterations or accessories have been done to the malfunctioning vehicle. Step two is RETURN VEHICLE TO STOCK before beginning diagnostics and condemning parts. I've seen immobilizers, remote start systems, ham radios, emergency vehicle add-ons, brake control modules, electronic anti-corrosion systems make vehicles do insane things and make them unreliable and undrivable. Also CHECK GROUNDS! A high percentage of all electrical/electronic issues can be traced back to compromised grounds.
Modding the exhaust is obviously going to affect the computer as its not set up that way, so due to you wanting decibels ferrari voided your warranty and i dont blame them
He also needs to replace stock before fitting the new computer module as the same thing may happen again!
ii hope you'll make more videos with mat💫💯
Iif you are getting that many error codes, i would personally check that all the plugs to the ECU, computer ect, are actually plugged in and locked, could be just a loose plug from when the immobiliser was fitted, something might have been knocked loose.
Also love the comments that he's modified the wiring, The Immobiliser was fitted by the dealer. He says that in the video.
Usually after upgrading the exhaust the ECU need to be reflashed with the new calibration. If that was done it’s probably a fault caused by novitec custom calibration in the powertrain module
It doesn't cause ECU to physically fail. Worst ever case would be check engine and car would run rough. But I REALLY REAAAAAAAAALLY doubt changing an Exhaust with an aftermarket but MADE for the car, should give all those troubles.
@@toxiclovept i dont think ECU has physically failed as he's able to start the car again. Seems more like some sort of stacked fault. Would be bit easier if they had mentioned more about the DTCs they were able to read.
A reflash is only necessary when removing the emissions systems, catalytic converter or OPF etc.
So ironic, telling people not to ice and you ice out a Ferrari OMG 😮😂😂😂😂
Video footage of Nico living and sleeping at the Ferrari dealership in Monaco for three days would be hilarious. He can review employee and incomong customer watches for three days and camp out in the service waiting area.
Thanks to Matt's channel, I'm here, and indeed what a SAGA, from a road trip of a lifetime to an "absolute nightmare"........looks like my next car wont be a Ferrari 812 GTS..
I'm not an expert on this but I would definitely remove that imobilizer, that is probably more is an issue than the exhaust.
I speak fluent mechanic. . . . and they don't want to fix it.
Lol everyone is a legend with a fist bump......
Don't modify a 3 month old Ferrari under warranty!! 😂
And don't do 10,000 RPM donuts in parking lots
Don't bother with a separate car youtube channel. As they say in business; "stick to your knitting". Meaning stick to what you know and you're good at. In this case, watches.
Let me put this in watch terms Nico, FERRARI IS THE HUBLOT OF THE CAR WORLD, its shyte mate
Nico: don’t devalue and ruin your expensive watches with custom aftermarket bling
Also Nico: check out the phat cool sounding aftermarket exhaust for my Ferrari
For next video you should get a Hilux , 1994 Surf will do better than any Ferrari. 😂😂. But on the serious side I do feel your pain. Hope it will all turn ok with your lovely car. Good luck and Keep us posted.
dude, stop fist bumping that much, what are you, 13?
Nico, I can't feel sorry for you, doing donuts and abusing that car.
Plus the modifications you knew going in with the risk was.
I think enough fist bumps were done to offset those mistakes though...... 🤣
Why does a man like Nico need so much validation? C'mon.
INSECURITY. perpetual in this case....
He's three foot with a complex
@@psgp298 with moonphase too? lol
I'd be throwing in a new battery before changing ECU's. Superspeedersrob had a very similar issue with his 488, Ferrari changed the battery, cleared the faults and worked perfectly after. He had the same issues as you, few month old car, tons of errors, non start without a jump.
