Sorry for the late response, but they have managed to rebuild my engine just now!!! However, after starting the car the knocking problem still exists and they have discovered, that the right hand head is just not getting enough oil. Seems, that stripping the engine was probably not been...

He showed me the block - everything seems perfect. He says, that the problem is probably from the valves - they need a good regulation. I told him to fully revise the heads anyway and we will see what will happen. But because we also don't know what is causing the original problem with the rich...

I don't know, he hasn't told me. He isn't from the type of mechanics, that change parts "just in case", so he has probably saw something. I have checked - this part is not expensive, I just hope it can be bought without problem. As I see in Eurospares - it is present only on the earliest cars...

Does anyone know what this green thing is? My mechanic says it's a good idea to replace it, but there is no part number on it. I have found something in eurospares (last picture), but I am not sure it is the same thing: 95067 THERMAL SWITCH - -Valid till ***. Nr.1711-

OK guys, just for your info - the Magneti Marelli water temp sensor can not be found in the Maserati dealerships anymore and is discontinued. However, I found an alternative one from FAE. It costs 20 Euro and its number is 33720. I believe it also fits Alfa Romeo 156 and some Fiats.

No problem at all. We will rebuild the engine first, then we will change the 4 sensors, that I have bought and then I will write here if there is any result. thanks again

I don't remember, to be honest, but it is big for sure. I have also tested it and it gives the right charge.

Battery is 1 year old, so is the thermostat. i have bought almost all important sensors, including the temp sensor, so we will see what will happen. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately even he hasn't got a new one. This sensor is out of production and no supplier anywhere has it new. However, I have saw the Magneti Marelli number on mine and managed to find an alternative one.

OK, the engine has finally been removed from the car and opened. All pistons look OK and there is only a little play in them, that my mechanic finds as normal. The honing seems perfect, there is no damage anywhere on the block or the pistons. He thinks, that the problem is somewhere in the...

Sounds like a constant knock on the upper side (around the right hand head). It appeared today after a 30-minute drive. The engine works fine, but knocks. I am afraid to take her out and push it, I don't if it is a good idea to start it again actually. The car is '99. We will take the engine...

Thank you all for the replies. What I mean is that no matter for how long I have driven the car - if the engine is warmed up - after I shut it down and wait for more than, say, 30 minutes, it starts hard. By starting hard I mean, that the starter motor turns, but the engine stalls and does not...

Hi guys, I am having a problem with my 3200GT, that unfortunately no one can help me to fix. I live in Bulgaria and unfortunately there is no independed specialist here, that has a SD2 tester to see what is happening with the car and in the same time the people from the official dealership of...

Well, i have put 1cm wider tires both on the front and the rear, because with the original sizes the edges of the rims are sticking too much and with a little wider tires they look just as they should. However, the car, that we used for a temporary donor, has the same size front tires, but it...

Tires are 1 year old, but they are in perfect condition, they haven't been driven much. Bought them as a set of 4 - brand new. The only difference is that I put 245s on the front, instead of 235s. If they were old, for sure the problem will be smaller, as on sliperry surface the wheels are not...

Hi again, my apologies, that I haven't logged in the forum for so long, but I had some personal problems... Anyway, we managed to find another 3200 (without this problem) and we have changed the rack, the pump, the hose and even the radiator of the hydraulics from the other car to mine and...

Thank you very much for the info. My car's VIN ends with 0466, so it goes in this category, but I have asked my mechanic and he said that they have carefully inspected the rack, when they removed it and there were no cracks at all.

Well, today he refused to inspect the car any longer and said he is unable to do anything more. He said that he triple checked the hoses, the pump and the rack and they are all in mint condition... About the recall - unfortunately the people in the bulgarian Maserati dealer are very...

Thank you for your answers. Unfortunately I don't know if the car has gone trough any recalls and I don't know how to check that, but my mechanic said, that when he removed the steering rack, it virtually looked like new with no signs of weaar what so ever. About the suspention - we thought...

Hi guys, there is a very strange problem with my 3200GT. When the car is stationary, the front wheels are shaking heavily when I turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. My mechanic has inspected everything - the hydraulic hoses, the pump, the steering rack and everything seems perfect...
