    F1 Gear hydraulic pump, Gransport

    Of course, but, what was the mechanic saying needed to be replaced, motor or pump?

    F1 Gear hydraulic pump, Gransport

    I am just wondering... Did the mechanic mean the "pump" or the "motor" that drives the pump? If not, as long as you are in there you should change both as a set.

    Fix for your 5 disc cd changer

    The player is unable to play the CD's. This is because the tray is tilted. The lights work, the ejection works. When it can't play the CD, it doesn't recognize the CD. I'm not sure about other CD changers, but the 2004ish Maserati's seem to all fail at some point.

    Fix for your 5 disc cd changer

    The table where the cd sets when playing gets out of balance. It is moved up and down on 3 jack screws. One of the jack screws adjuster slips, causing the table to tilt. The player will then not spin properly. It's a very small black screw threaded plastic that comes loose. Recenter the table...

    Fix for your 5 disc cd changer

    I took my broken cd changer apart. Figured out how to fix it. I found the design flaw that makes them all of a sudden quit. Not sure anybody really wants to have a working cd changer.

    Peformance mods for 4200: DBW Enhancement Module. X-Pipe. Secondary De-Cats. BMC.

    My version of the X pipe... I went to the local exhaust shop. They do normal and custom work. I showed them a picture of what I wanted. They ordered an X pipe kit and built this X pipe on my 2004 coupe. I think it looks and sounds great. $475, not bad for a Maserati upgrade.

    Coolant

    I have a 2004 Coupe. I have been doing the 30,000 mile service. I pulled a little coolant out of the reservoir. It is a brown color. Doesn't look like coolant. Maybe this car came from a warm climate, and wasn't serviced with real coolant. What is the coolant I can use in my car...

    How do get rid of fine scratches on paintwork?

    This sounds lame,,,, but it works.. I have a Jaguar, black, and a Maserati, blue. The black jag shows all the fine scratches, and drives me crazy. I had it buffed out, but still showing scratches. I bought black car polish. It goes on, and off, very easy. Your scratches will be gone...

    Race fuel.

    The down side using higher octane is 2 fold.. You will actually get less power,, and it costs more. Higher octane fuel is less volatile, which is why is doesn't knock in high compression engines. I know this goes against what most people think,, but true. It's kind of like mixture,,, an...

    Race fuel.

    If you don't have the compression to take the extra octane,, higher octane will actually lower your HP. High octane is only necessary for high compression.
