What in the actual **** is wrong with the people running Maserati S.p.A

Unfortunately it’s a duff advert/stock number, enquired about it yesterday!Scuderia US site lists the pump as in stock.
COMPLETE WATER AND OIL PUMP for Maserati 4200, Quattroporte, 202976 | Scuderia Car Parts
Thanks! "some" are not panicking, while others have just started.FYI the wet sump 4.2/4.7 all do not run this combined pump in case some were panicking
I have seen a rebuild kit for these advertised somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where, it definitely was seals, and bearings I think.My plan is to strip the old water pump down and hopefully identify the bearings and seals etc. in the hope that they can replaced as a maintenance item, before the seal goes and corrodes the shaft.
As for the shaft and splines, once it’s out I'm going to try and get an engineering firm down the road to make one. Although for others, if the seals and bearing are replaced before the problem starts then they shouldn’t need a replacement?
Reference the F430 oil/water pump (part number 217628), these are still being made by the factory and although on back order until October I’ve been told there is no problem getting them.
Whether the water pump from this could be used on the 4200, I still don’t know. Safrane mentioned Voicey, I’ve never dealt with them so maybe it’s a bit cheeky taking up his time asking questions about it?
Or maybe this is the justification needed to add a 430 to the garage

Thanks again!You can get a pry bar into the teeth of the flywheel from underneath.
