there are a number of symptoms with the screen going white and it re booting and the current mileage flashing. A company called cartronics has diagnosed it and needs a repair or a replacement unit.

Hello, have an issue with the satnav/head unit in my 2008 gran tourismo S. it has been diagnosed and needs a replacement board and can be repaired. They are offering another option as to replace the unit with a more modern unit as the old unit isn’t the best and are temperamental has anyone...

Thanks for the reply’s, will contact the dealer tomorrow with my issues. Just don’t want my time owning this beautiful car to be back and to from the garage. The misfire fault has only recently came since the car had the variator issue resolved so possibly a bad connection.

I do have warranty and was planning on sorting it that way but it seems to be problem after problem. I would say 50% of the time getting in it I have some sort of issue to the point I don’t want to drive it in case there’s another issue!

Hello all a reasonably new member and owner of a 2008 gt s. have owned it approximately 3 months and use it now and again. Basically, I am wondering if the amount of faults I get on the car that come and go are normal for owning one of these or I should really be looking at getting it sorted...

thanks very much! Will mention it when in next week

not considering it but hoping that is not what they will do to cue the issue temporarily

makes perfect sense!

Not sure if I’m correct but using a different grade of oil that doesn’t drain out was suggested? I had a similar issue with a cosworth engine being tappy on cold start and a different grade oil stopped that? Correct me if I’m wrong

What are the fix options then?

Yes exactly that! Well the initial 1 second when starting and then it’s gone

I assume you are talking about the variators then? I will talk to the garage about this and the car is also under warranty so hopefully will cover this?

Where can I find this number? I haven’t received the v5 yet as only had the car a week. Thanks

Hello all Had my 2008 gt s about a week and noticed a rattle/vibration noise for about 1 second only on cold start up. I have read the following thread and my noise is the same or similar to what they get: https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/cold-start-noise.19545/ this only...
