Hi, No, unfortunately I haven’t got a round to this yet. It’s still on my list of things to do and hopefully will be started next month. I’ll keep you informed.

I had the same issue as you, running at 75C constantly and hot start issue. I have replaced the thermostat and it was stuck open. I have also bought the ‘Washer valve’ but haven’t fitted it yet. Touch wood, but my hot start issue hasn’t happened since the thermostat replacement. The only slim...

Identical to the issues I had. I replaced the coolant temp sensor too but no change. I ended up replacing the thermostat. Upon removal, I found it was stuck open. With the new thermostat, the temperature has been absolutely spot on, and I’ve had no issues with the hot start or stalling. I also...

Thank you

I’ll be taking mine off this winter and sending them over. I’ll let you know how I get on. https://www.vps-eu.com/product-page/maserati-4200-complete-control-arms-rebuild On another note, are the front and rear anti-roll bar links shared with anything else?

Approximately £2000 plus postage for all 8 control arms. Plus postage

I’ll make some enquiries with them and see what the prices look like.

Hi Guys, I know this topic has been spoke about quite a few times but I can’t see any definitive answers. I‘ve just started to develop a knock from the O/S/R, upon inspection, it is the ball joint of the lower control arm. I have seen these arms are available from Eurospares but just...

Yes, that is what I am considering. It’s got tech cloth as well, which I’m not a huge fan off. So I was planning on replacing the tech cloth with black alcantara and doing the top dash too.

I absolutely love my GS and plan on keeping it for some time. One really annoying aspect of it though, is the reflection in the windscreen of the dash. It has a cream interior and thus a cream dash. The reflection in the windscreen really spoils the car, particularly on sunny days or at night...

I’ve fitted the thermostat, amongst other things and can confirm that it was stuck open. During the drive home on the M1, the temp sat just under 90C.

I’ll find out tomorrow after the service, rear discs and pads, handbrake shoes, coolant change and thermostat. I’m looking forward to it and keeping my fingers crossed.

This is great, thank you doodlebug. I shall certainly look in to this. Eurospares have them in for the GS too.

I know, but for £75, it’s worth trying. I saw a thread on here and the chap had a white GS with similar issues, it turned out to be his thermostat. It arrived today, so I’ll fit it on Friday and see what happens. I’ve done a bit of research but I’m struggling to find anything that resembles a...

Thank you. New thermostat will delivered tomorrow and fitted this week. It’s certainly what i suspect to be the problem with the cooling issue. I’ll feed back when I’ve done it.

Thank you for your extensive reply Doodlebug. Is the gauge controller unit an independent unit or is it part of the instrument cluster ?

Thank you for your replies. I’ll put it back on the diagnostic this week to see what the actual temp read out is. I got home from work this evening, temp never got above 70C again. Both fans running with A/C off. I left it an hour, went out to start it again, it didn’t start as ‘normal’ and both...

Thank you, I’ll look in to that. No, I haven’t particularly noticed the hot start issue after refuel and it‘s only not started once, where it needed some encouragement from the right foot.

Thanks Mike, I plugged it in on Wednesday, no fault codes found. I’ll do a bit more digging for the hot restart.

Hello, I‘ve already mentioned this issue before in my newbie post. But on my drive to work this morning (about 10 miles, 20 minutes). The coolant temperature never went above 70C. When I got out of the car, engine running, I could hear the cooling fan was on. I have also noticed in the past on...
