Thanks for the reply, it just so happens that I have kept 2 fuel pumps that were changed out by the dealers years ago as they were bad. Run them in water for over an hour, good pressure & flow, so they will go in so I can check the ones currently in use. The no fancy controls part makes things...

Have had the car sitting for 2 years plus, was starting OK then it wouldn't start. So back into it now with a mechanical mate. Appreciate any pointers, suggestions & tips. Haven't been on here for ages & noticed Davy's site maserati3200.net, which led me to buy an OBD2 tool, that will work...

No idea, technically I am at ground zero & getting info from an old Thai/Chinese guy via the wife/translator...matrix wasn't replaced, just a leak in/near it...in the bowels of the dashboard.

Only time I get that combination, it's electrical...battery slightly below normal?

In Thailand, couldn't sit in the car for more than 10 minutes without aircon. Mine was struggling blowing tepid air out. The local aircon shop (long established) is probably the only trusted technician I've ever come across here. About an hour after starting on my car, says better come back...

I've just had the same thing 2 times running. The culprit is in my case the aircon drain tube not being in place. It would usually dampen the front carpets first but this time it ran down the side of the transmission tunnel, under the front carpets & end up in the back. Get about 1/2 litre of...

Thanks Davy, I had that distinct impression, as it had been in the previous dealers without any problems. thanks a lot for clearing up "your end".

The car is now (over a year later) at the dealers having the recall work done. They had to trawl for parts from the middle east? While the car was laid up it developed a CEL limiting throttle to 1000rpm. So I asked the dealers to check it out & got this reply today: Lastly , your throttle and...

Update: Yesterday received an e-mail that the last of the required parts are now sitting in Bangkok & I can book a time to get the service work carried out FOC. After a year, I should think so.

+2 on voting. This has gone on way to long.

Sorry Allan, the companies that I mentioned are the (only) dealers. FERMA were the Maserati dealer in Thailand & did nothing about the recall. The dealership has been taken over by Millenium, who are trying to say that the "campaign" is not in force any more.

Sure is Davy, I had the alignment checked/adjusted & pretty much trust the guys welding (up to maybe 120Kmh). On the recall notice they do mention a clamp of improved design (probably more meat). When I looked at the chassis I couldn't see any sign that anything had been welded previously, hence...

Hi Gents/ladies, Anyone have a contact in Maserati Italy that can get some sense out of their Thai dealers? Last week I had just arrived at a friends house (luckily) & he told me to drive into the carport so that the car wouldn't sit on the road. Hard left, completely lost steering but managed...

While you are in there, check all the turbo hoses & clips, from the air filter boxes back to the throttle body - the big Y at the front. A 3200 without turbos is a slug.

Bearings in both fans in mine went last month. Aircon not keeping up with outside temperature & engine running hot - get them checked.
