    2009 Quattroporte Sport GT S noises ?

    What's the conclusion on this ? Is it something that requires immediate fixing, or could be fixed on the next service in about 3000 miles ? When you say not expensive, can you estimate a range ? Thanks Adam, I'll look at that during the week-end. Thanks

    2009 Quattroporte Sport GT S noises ?

    I fixed one of the noises, under max wheel turn taking off would make some popping sounds. by changing the front tires to Continental CONTISPORTCONTACT 5P 245/35R20 Z XL FR the noise was gone. Pirelli seem to by very bad, everybody seems to take them off.. also among the known brands they are...

    2009 Quattroporte Sport GT S noises ?

    on #2 the sound is persisting, so it's not a one time thing. That's why it makes me think, that it might be something vibrating underneath. I thought that valves closing would be a one time thing. If it turns out it's the valves, then I need to keep them from closing so... sport mode it is :D.

    2009 Quattroporte Sport GT S noises ?

    English is my 2nd languages, so I can't tell the difference between a clank and a gruff even the clank was a guess :) on #3 If I think about it, yes I think the sound is present on uphill turns. the noise is heard exactly once each time it doesn't sound like metal, more like hard rubber...

    Quattroporte GTS owner to be

    When I bought my Quattroporte GT S, I wanted to get the Maserati Warranty, I was told it was 2500 EUR per year unless the previous owner didn't discontinue it, in that case you can't get it.

    Ghibli diesel test drive in Autocar last week

    Excepting members of the forum of course, I think the new strategy targets developing countries where people want to brag about owning a Maserati, while on a very tight budget to put it gently... Most of you being located in the UK, might not experience this, but where I live, it's quite...

    Ghibli diesel test drive in Autocar last week

    Unfortunately maserati's now come with diesel engines and I bet 80% of sales will be diesel. At least where I live, people want to show off but don't want to pay the bill. The diesel engine was the most important thing that made me chose the previous generation.
