I thought I would update others on something I've been playing with on the side. The F1 system hasn't been adjustable (to date) as far as I'm aware. I set out to see if there was anything that was possible. In short, I believe I now have a proof of concept that shows its possible. Additionally...

Hi folks. I'm looking for the short bit of wiring harness that goes between the TCU and harness attached to the gearbox itself. If anyone has a lead on one, it would be appreciated. I'm needing it to finish off my series on the operation of the F1 system...

Given that these are no longer available anywhere new, does anyone know if there are plans by someone (eurospares?) to make new pattern parts? What options do we have when these ball joints will all inevitably go bad?

I started putting together some information on the theory and basic diagnosing of the F1 system for some of the most common fault. I expect this to be a somewhat living document as I add more. If theres specific areas/failures youd like me to cover in more detail please let me know as well...

Hi all. Does anyone know of a more common replacement for the rear axle nut on the Gransport? (Need to replace the wheel bearing) Trying to avoid ordering from overseas and the hassle with that. Local Maserati dealers here don’t have stock either, but I’m wondering if another brand fits? Sent...

Hi all. I’m just trying to get the radiator out of my GS. I’m at the point of having the bumper removed and the radiator free. However I can’t seem to find a way to snake the radiator past the AC hardline that runs beneath it. Note that this is the North American spec condenser and I believe...

Has anyone seen anything like this on their radiator? I drained my system yesterday and these flakes were present on both the intake and outtake ports. It looks like some sort of coating peeling away. It flakes off really easily and is a brittle plastic like material. I couldn’t find any...

I spent some time pulling apart the cooling system on my car today. I thought one area that may be helpful to explain is testing the fan resistor is still measuring within spec which is a common failure point. https://gransportmaserati.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/testing-radiator-fan-resistor/

On my 06 Gransport I’m seeing warmed up idle oil pressures drop to just a hair over the 1/4 mark on the built in gauge (1.25 bar, ~20psi). Cold idle is pegged at 5 bar. And the pressure always returns to being pegged at 5 bar after revs go up slightly above idle (~2500rpm and above). Could...

I've been playing around with some off-the-shelf low cost ELM327 based OBD tools (literally a $25 Bluetooth dongle) seeing if I could successfully connect to the some of the computers on these cars. I've been successful in reading and decoding what I believe to be the engine coolant temperature...

I've received a few requests from folks from DM over the last few months on using the Launch X431 to set the PIS on their car. I tried to document the steps, and also give a bit of theory on what it is and why we're setting it. I'll try and be adding more details on other functions of this scan...

I decided to upgrade the audio in my Gransport and document the process for others. Step one today was bypassing the "upgraded" Auditorium 200 amplifier. To my amazement, audio quality actually IMPROVED by doing this and relying on the built-in amplifier of the Becker head unit. I'm still going...

I've started putting together a small series on the F1 system and a teardown to help dispel some of the magic within them. Hopefully you may find it interesting. https://gransportmaserati.wordpress.com/2019/11/27/anatomy-of-a-cambiocorsa-actuator-part-1/

Hi all. I've started documenting some of my DIY efforts to hopefully help others. So far, I have a short set of instructions for both the engine and gearbox oil changes on these cars. https://gransportmaserati.wordpress.com/2019/11/24/gransport-oil-change/...
