    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    I’m no expert but I was suspicious about the fact that the noise was worse than before. Any thoughts on what it could be? Now the fun and games starts with the garage ! At least they acknowledged hearing it before returning the car to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    So timing chain and bits mentioned above all changed. Car returned. I now have a continuous tapping noise. Garage suggested it is just the mixture of new cam followers and old camshafts and nothing to worry about. It should reduce with more miles. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    I’m not sure. I’ll ask the question. Is it part of the Cam Follower kit? The official Maserati parts are on back order, however they are the same as a Ferrari part and there is an aftermarket version so can supply a set of these quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    Latest update on the timing chain replacement. The timing chains are certainly worn but there is also one other factor which the garage feels is a contributory factor to the noise. The cam followers, which are between the camshaft lobes and the tops of the valves are all quite worn. They are...

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    Thanks Andy This would be a massive stretch for me to do myself. I wish I had the skills to try, but realistically I'd probably end up doing more damage than good. Would you say four days effort is a reasonable estimate?

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    Thanks Conaero Good to know. The A/C compressor front bearing was worn and loose. A new A/C compressor was fitted recently and unfortunately the noise from the engine continued.

    4200 Timing Chain Replacement

    Hello Forum I need some advice regarding the timing chain on my 2005 4200. The car has 96,000 miles on the clock. I've owned it for over 13 years now. My garage reported that the engine is making more noise than it should from the timing chain mechanism and have recommended replacing the...

    4200 High Miles & Timing Chain

    Thanks for the responses. McGrath's services the car and did report slight engine noise. No errors were reported. James/Paul thought it might be the guides and that I should keep an eye on it. I'm out of the country at the moment so I need to check on the Oil/Water pump replacement. Sent...

    4200 High Miles & Timing Chain

    Hi Forum I've had my 4200 for over 12 years and have clocked up just over 90,000 miles. I plan to keep the car and would like the forum's thoughts on potential wear-and-tear items that should be investigated: replaced. I'm concerned about the timing chain on the 4200 as I had one go on my...

    2002 Coupe CC stereo replacement

    You can configure the screen's layout and icons in whatever you want. I played around with it earlier and will look again at the weekend. I'll also take a picture of the reverse camera.

    2002 Coupe CC stereo replacement

    Mine is a daily drive. I agree about the Larini tones, but for me, I wanted to upgrade to a fully Apple CarPlay integrated hands-free plus navigation solution. The music will compliment the tones from the Larini on those long drives to Italy!

    2002 Coupe CC stereo replacement

    Okay thanks. I decided to upgrade mine with replacement speakers, a head unit, plus new amp. Also decided to go with the reversing camera solution. I should get the car back today and will post some pictures.
