    2009 granturismo s - coolant temp gauge seems too high, even from cold

    Thanks, everyone. It was the gauge, indeed. Fist-bumped the dash and switched ignition a few times. Then the gauge rolled right back down again. All the best! B

    2009 granturismo s - coolant temp gauge seems too high, even from cold

    Friends, Quick question: On my 09 GTS, I occasionally get an excessively high temp read on the coolant. Normally it sits steady at 90 degrees Celsius. Now and again, the gauge already sits at 80 or so without my having even started the car. I live in South Africa and it is just getting warm in...

    KNOCK SENSORS - 2001 3200GT - need 2 new sensors - can I use from another OEM?

    Friends, thanks for your advice. I used Alfa 166 knock sensors. The car drives, but I still feel lack of power. I now ordered original spares through eurospares, which I will then get fitted. In the meantime, however, I am noticing another issue that it would be good to get your advice on...

    Thanks for the tipps... Thanks for the ideas - I will try the A166 ones and see if that works well - in case you are interested in how it goes, I will try to come back and post how it went...

    Friends, I am based in South Africa, where my 32GT now needs 2 new knock sensors. Unfortunately, original spares are currently not available in the country. I would order from overseas (any tips for global suppliers with fastest lead times?), but what would really help is your view on...

    Newbie Q - engine shutoff alarm sound (normal?)

    Hey Robert, thanks for your reply and welcome: ++ radio is Becker Mexico from original spec ++ will check if I get a red light from radio (but haven't noticed so far) ++ P on dash and I start from P ++ am in Joburg South Africa. Outside temp is still a lovely 25c so no ice anytime soon :-)...

    Newbie Q - engine shutoff alarm sound (normal?)

    Thanks very much for the reply - It's in P when I shut off the engine. The beep is a continuous tone that just stops after 20secs or so. ... Interesting thought on the turbos; heard that before from a dealer. However: the beeping would happen equally after a sporty drive or after a brief back...

    Newbie Q - engine shutoff alarm sound (normal?)

    Purchased a beautiful 3200 GT which drives very well so far - no worries at all and pure joy. Should have done this much earlier ;-) One quick question - apologies, this will sound very naive, but it concerns an alarm so I thought I'd better check. When I shut off the engine the car...
