Well i have the car back and have driven it 30 odd kms and they also test drove it. No issues. Seems to be fixed. I count myself incredibly lucky. Car goes up for sale tomorrow.

Garage have managed to find both modules in the used market here. Pretty shocked to be honest. Its a gamble but im going to give them the go ahead to swap them out with the understanding they can be returned if they dont solve the problem.

Not in the 4+ years ive owned it.

Car has been at another garage here and they are saying engine ECU and body control module need replacing. Im finding that pretty hard to believe that both modules fail intermittently at the same time. Pretty gutting if it is that. Not even sure if the engine ECU is available and probably...

Ok, quick update. Not good news. My garage have sent the car back as they are unable to determine the fault. Checked all the normal variables that were mentioned. All they have said is that the ECU is de energizing. Thats probably a bad translation of power is being interrupted to ECU. They...

Still no update, i had the car back and i havent taken it back in yet. On average does it once per trip. Let me down at a very busy intersection by Arabian Ranches in Dubai today, very embarrassing, lots of beeping behind me. Will get recovery truck to collect.

Well I got the car back last night. First thing I noticed driving it off the transporter and something I forgot to mention is that it seems to be taking a good few seconds of cranking to start. It`s been doing that for a few weeks. I kinda put it down to the UAE Summer but now I think the two...

Garage are saying that connection to the ECU was lost so they are cleaning and lubricating connectors. Funnily enough the garage is just round the corner from my office and just as i got in cab home my car came past with test driver giving it a little right foot. Car sounds soon good from the...

I`m hoping its a loose connection, I might add though that the dashboard lights and dash stay powered up so doubt it`s battery although I have heard that the QP can be sensitive to battery voltage. Let`s see what the garage come back with. I`m hoping its stored a code and not just cleared the...

Hello all, Last few days a strange happening with my car, actually bloody dangerous. Was on the freeway yesterday and at circa 135kmh and the car just completely cut out. I think it started with an anti lock brake service request but then just went into shutdown. it`s done it a few times last...

well we survived, car is with tuner now having a look at different options plus a full service. Car returned quite well repaired from bump. Do still keep looking at CLS63S though.

That's exactly what the local tuner has suggested. Currently on hold as someone drove into the back of me at a junction, fairly minor. Then whole family got covid......

I've contacted Turbo dynamics and they've never even looked at a v8TT Maserati so it would be a development build. I should probably just buy something with more testing like a cls63 but love the Maser. Just sometimes feels it was hobbled a bit by Ferrari. Going to speak to my local tuner again.

Gts as stated so 3.8. So far we're at 580bhp but apparently maxed out as turbos are quite small. Who make the turbos? Ihi?

Hi, Just doing some initial looking at further tuning. The tuner I use here does a lot of hybrid turbos for the Golf R. I asked if the same could be done for the QP6gts I have. Does anyone have any info on the stock units? Also looking at 2 bespoke intercoolers. The turbos are maxed out at...
