    How to take out this parts 3200 gt

    Problem with isopropyl is it evaporates before it even does barely anything, be prepared to get tipsy from it ;)

    How to take out this parts 3200 gt

    Just regular oven cleaner spray can which sprays foam. Take the one with caustic soda. Oven brite in uk? Just keep it wet so it keeps reacting on the surface. I fully spray it until the part disappears under the foam, let it finish bubbling out and ad some small amount of water to get some nice...

    How to take out this parts 3200 gt

    For the vents, put your fingers into them so you can pull the tube itself, bit by bit pull at each 1/3 of a circle. You can put quite some force on it. To get the flaps out of the tube, squeeze the tube oval so the pins of the flaps get freed, one side has shorter pins than the other. The flaps...

    How to take out this parts 3200 gt

    Regarding the air vents, just give them a gentle but sturdy pull. The radio has to come out to remove the other components. When you do so, there are two screws on either side in the middle of the console at radio height. The airco unit you have to treat with great care as I broke the clips on...

    Maserati 3200 Key - Black Rubber Button

    Hi, as I said I'm still experimenting with printing the material. Having other priorities at the moment, I made not much progress yet. And sorry, I only have black flexible filament. Of course I could buy red for +/- 35€ but that's a bit overkill for just 2 buttons...

    Front seat lever issue

    The 3200 and 4200 have exactly the same components regarding the seat controls, I found out. The controller, switches and motors all have the same part numbers thus same scematics. Only thing I forgot to ask is if you have the memory seats? If not, I gave you the wrong connector image. Anyway...

    The Low Loader Thread

    These pictures were taken already a while ago prior to the “hitch hike” to the garage who sorted the engine out doing the full service. I didn’t mention the car started immediately after all that time with 4 cranks and 10 year old fuel in it! Doing brakes now and finishing up the interior. Only...

    The Low Loader Thread

    This was mine, after standing still for 10+ years I thought it was wise not to drive it to the garage. Didn't want the valves having a party with the pistons;) This was, by the way, how I found the car standing in my dad's garage after I took the nylon(!?) cover off... This was taken a...

    Front seat lever issue

    Then I did understand you correctly. Indeed you can try a reset first as described by hashluck. (Though the auto movement should not work at all, not like you described now that it miraculously worked from the first time) If that does not do the trick, try to measure resistance on the...

    Highest mileage 3200 GT

    I will ask the garage for the full service history. He is a Bosch tuning expert who turned down Maserati’s offer to become a stealer (mandatory self investment of the showroom) so very skilled when it comes to engines... As I said, I suspect my dad did 10k km oil changes.

    Front seat lever issue

    Yes the release is completely mechanical, your answer might indicate I misunderstood Gary’s issue thinking the automated movement engaged by the microswitch was malfunctioning... Well, at least there is a reference for this issue available now too :D;)
