I'm dealing with the sticky plastics in my 3200 and when I was going to install the ashtray I noticed it doesn't fully cover the hole in the console. It's also apparently sunk into the console. It's been a long time since I removed the ashtray and I don't remember what it's supposed to look...

Has anyone dealt with the Maserati MDVCI diagnostic kit? Seems to be compatible with 3200 and newer and offers dealer level access to all units...

I bought an upgraded contactless throttle body from Davy that turned out not to be needed. My problem is elsewhere… Since I already paid the import duties and it would be expensive to send it back I can sell it to anyone in continental Europe for what it cost me. Located in Luxembourg but I can...

I noticed on my 3200 that while the engine is running there's a hissing sound on the oil cap and it's pulling a vacuum due to the oil separator/breather connected to the intake manifold. I never paid attention if this is normal or not, so before buying a new oil separator can some 3200 owners...

I continue my quest to figure out why my 3200 AC doesn’t start once it’s hot and i have managed to at least consistently reproduce the problem and rule out a few things. Starting with the obvious, the throttle body is refurbished and that made no difference. The car always starts well when cold...

I would like to have cold air in my 3200 this year and decided to check why mine was not working. Was nearly empty so I pressure tested it, looked ok, charged it with refrigerant but the bloody compressor seems lazy and doesn’t have a lot of suction so I don’t get a lot of cold air. I’m thinking...

I have been toying with the idea of replacing the family 5 series with a QP VI but I wonder how easy or hard it is to work on these cars, since I enjoy maintaining and fixing cars. Especially on the electronic modules. I love the fact that in the BMW I can use the dealer software to pretty much...

Finally managed to get my 3200 back on the road after a long hibernation period due to buying and renovating a house and not having time and money for the car. MOT yesterday and passed without issues. However it’s been a long time since I have driven it so there are a few things that I don’t...

Hello, Lost one of the spring loaded light guides for a knob in a 3200 HVAC control. Any ideas to get it replaced?

Tried searching the forum but no luck. Anyone here tackled taking a fog light out on a 3200? Went for headlight alignment today and they noted one of the fog lights is loose on a corner so most likely a broken support. Please don’t tell me the bumper has to come off

I need the opinion of the collective on this forum. I last changed the timing belt/bearings, pump and tensioner about 7 years ago on my 3200. It has been garaged for the last 4 years and haven’t driven many km since the last belt change. I have decided to replace only the belt and tensioner but...

Hello, My 3200 has awful original exhaust boxes which seem to be disintegrating with rust. New larini and quicksilver are quite expensive and I wonder if anyone here ever compared them to the Fox or Imasaf made in Germany that can share an opinion. also open to buy Larini or Quicksilver second...

I might need to replace the handbrake shoes in my 3200 as it's currently having almost no braking power. I read in other threads that there is an identical or near identical shoe from another vehicle that fits but can't find exactly which one is it. Anyone knows? I'm not going to spend 130€ on a...

My 3200 had steering play flagged at the MOT and I have been trying to figure out where. Can't find any play in the track rods either the inner or outer ones. pushing the wheel left and right and all I can see is the steering rack arm moving. track rods seem to have no play and I'm wondering if...

Hello, I’m in the process of stripping a 3200 engine apart but I’m not at home and do t have the workshop manual with me. would a kind soul with the manual please provide the sequence to remove the head bolts? Or a print of that manual page thanks

Hello, Does anyone know of a quicksilver or larini set of exhausts for the 3200 for sale?

Just bought a box with 2 knock sensors from my local Maserati dealer for 70 euros the pair. I thought this was the price for each. Has anyone recently bought them to confirm they are sold as a pair and cost this? I wonder if they sold me 2 for the price of 1 :)

My 3200 has a hard time starting when hot, and when cold the first few minutes it doesnt idle very well (not always, it seems to be intermitent) To me it feels like a vacuum leak. As im taking the intake manifold to replace the starter motor anyway i intend to vacuum test all systems that...

My 3200 lives in a garage where I always leave it unlocked. The problem is that pesky alarm auto arms itself and then every time I want to drive it our of the garage I have to lock/unlock the car. Is there anyway to configure the alarm to only arm when the door is locked?

I'm changing jobs at the moment and sadly the company car will have to go. Will need to replace it with a family wagon or sedan for daily drive and to carry the whole family around. As I don't want to spend too much money on a car at the moment before being in the new job for a few months, I...
