    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Things is it wasn’t this noticeable before - only recently it came to my attention - and I’m hyper sensitive to any changes in my car ($$$ in my eyes!)

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Could be the case, yes! And I’m fully expecting it as the next expense, so no need to be gentle with me :) In fact I’m surprised it’s lasted this long since I purchased the car 4+ years ago.

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Sorry about that. It’s probably cuz I know what I’m listening for. Will try make better one with some assistance from outside later!!

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Yeah it’s me :) Wheel bolts all feel tight. Did a video this morning (link below). It’s not as bad today but you can still hear the clunk a couple of times in reverse. Warmer day today so maybe weather has an effect? https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5gonandvfvkkqe/IMG_5160.MOV?dl=0

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Last service was done by you guys actually. When I brought it in for the underbody rust seal job. I’m from Plymouth though, so a bit of a trek! I’ll give you or Ashley a call on Monday? Thinking might just have to take her to Carrs Ferrari in Exeter this time though (even that’s an hour away and...

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Hard to say. I know sound can “travel” but it certainly feels and sounds like it’s right in front of me, low down behind the steering wheel. I will try next time I drive with the window open - maybe that will help me pinpoint it more.

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Hi - thanks for replying. It’s a 2009 MC Shift. It wasn’t this noticeable until recently though, so feels like something has changed there. Quite a heavy feeling release and knock of something. Another thing I sometimes get (may be related) is that if I am slowly driving forwards, down a small...

    Granturismo S: Weird jolt/thud/knock when coming off throttle in reverse and 1st

    Looking for some advice. I searched all around and can’t find anything similar but not really sure what words to use to describe or search for it! When I am going slow in reverse (very small amount of throttle) leaving my parking spot, then come off throttle, seems like as the clutch disengages...

    Granturismo S: Excessive camber on full lock??

    Thank you very much for the reply Zep! Put my mind at rest. Always fear of expensive bills with this car

    Granturismo S: Excessive camber on full lock??

    I parked up with full left steering lock at supermarket today and on my return noticed that visually the wheel is leaning out a lot. The inner side of tyre is actually off the ground. Is this wrong or OK? I have quite recently had all the alignments done. Photos attached.

    Fuel cover stuck shut

    Yes it could be related also. I did charge it recently but not had to fill up since, so maybe something goes out of synch within the brain since I last pressed the fuel ‘open’ button if the voltage had dropped too low? Locking the car after pressing the open button resets it? Anyway, a nice man...

    Fuel cover stuck shut

    This just happened to me. Might not be same solution but thought I’d leave this comment here in case it saves anyone a LOT of trouble! All I had to do was lock and unlock the car again (just normally with the remote key buttons) and it worked again!

    Cool! Heath Robinson solution :) Wonder what my neighbours will think if they see me :)

    Granturismo S MCS - some “Italian†gremlins with my new baby!

    Thanks for the tips and welcome, everyone! I'll definitely check out Ftech - they are literally just around the corner from Carrs so it's still a bit of a trek for me but worth it. Might feel a bit of a traitor going away from Carrs (they have been very good for the 2 times I've used them) but...

    Granturismo S MCS - some “Italian†gremlins with my new baby!

    Granturismo S MC Shift - some “Italian†gremlins with my new baby! This is my first post after lurking for some time ;) Recently joined the world of Maserati ownership - a 2009 GTS MC-Shift in Grigio Touring, with a facelift nose. Absolutely love it, completely awesome car that's a pure...
