Loz, if you can get the starter motor out without removing the water manifold you are a better man than me. I admit that removing anything off the engine comes with risk of leaks etc. but I found it difficult to see how I could manoeuvre the starter motor around the legs of the manifold, so...

Just finishing changing out the starter motor on my 3200GT. Quite frankly the manual is rubbish! The sequence of actions is wrong on many of the steps, and several pipes and connections do not have to be disconnected. I will do a step by step post soonest but basically, a. the first step...

G'day Zep, It is run by Dave Shanks on his free to air website 'Maserati3200.net'. If you log on he has heaps of good info, youtube videos, and an alternate parts list under the heading Álternative Parts List... funnily enough. Dave also has a chat line where you can enquire into 3200GT stuff...

Good morning Loz, are we keeping Dave Shanks' spreadsheet updated with these alternatives? It would be great if we had a single source of options rather than trawling through these forum comments: as incredibly useful as they are. Having the additional comments on owners experience of the...

Good morning Andy, many thanks, that in itself is a very useful tip, I thought it was impossible, so knowing that it can be done, with a lot of patience is extremely helpful. Chris

Good afternon Andy, I have removed the low pressure line from the car, but it was damaged beyond repair in the process due to limited space at the rear of the engine bay. Your picture of your removed hoses looks like you got them out intact and in good shape. As I am about to buy a new low...

Many thanks Zep, you have just saved me about AU$400! Many thanks, and if I ever return the favour................

Good evening Zep, Many thanks. I have sent them an email asking for the two rear tie rod ends (I also asked for a price on the front units, as I am interested in how much Modena ripped me off). Great link. I have put that in the memory files. It appears they maybe able to refurbish the...

Good afternoon Team, I have managed to get a set of front stabiliser bar tie rods/Links from Modena (www.MODENA.de), however the rear set elludes me. Does any one have a source for the rear stabiliser bar tie rod/links Part number 387000126 or 193729. Many thanks, Chris

Steve, I found one on ebay. After a long trail through various retailers, Partshive gave me a conversion chart for Magneti Marelli (MM)to alternative suppliers various, it is quite a commonly used sensor, as you pointed out, Fiat, Alfa, Lancia etc. all use it in various engines. I ordered an...

Good afternoon Steve, Could you send a retailer for the temperature sensor, I have spent some time on the Magneti Marelli parts catalogue site using Fiat and Lancia without success. I have to import it from the UK anyway, so a local UK retailer would be great. Of course Euro Spares don't have...

Good morning all, Many thanks for your support. I have found the sensor (I was using the Euro Spares exploded diagram to try and find it but it is a tad confusing). Thanks Oneball! SteveM, I am on it and have an auto electrician with me: we have been working on the Throttle Body/ Pedal...

Good afternoon team, anyone have a reference for changing out a defective engine temperature sensor. Mine fails intermittently, causing serious performance problems when belting along the freely.

Good afternoon Gentlemen, I am currently going through the very same issues and problems with my 2000 year 3200GT. The car has been in limp mode for quite some time now, before I hooked up with a good old fashioned mechanic here in the Hunter Valley NSW, Australia. I also enlisted Dave Shanks...

Good morning Tony, Many thanks for your advice, I'll see if I can find an old XP laptop, Defence stuck with XP for ages so I expect there may still be one or two around. Dave's website gave some instructions but he hasn't managed to get it working either so if you have some that actually worked...

Good afternoon Arnie, I have exactly the set-up you mentioned in your email, my car is a Dec 2000 model. I have obtained the Unidiag software from Dave Shanks' website "Maserati3200.net" and bought a KKL VAG-COM USB/DLC connector, which came up when I followed your link above on e-bay...

Just about ready to start working on the Maserati, I've been working on Jaguars since my last post. I also noticed that the high pressure side hose has gone porous so Enzed will be getting a visit from me.

Ok everyone, SITREP. I have the Unidiag software loaded on my Laptop, a VAG KKL USB/16 Pin DLC connector. Loaded up and plugged into my (now confirmed) Series 2 3200GT ECU setup car. Alerts were: "isn't specified, and Can't find the .def file. Any advice welcome. Cheers Chris.

Good afternoon Davy83, I have followed the link to your website, and am embarking on obtaining an adaptor (16 pin - USB) as per the link provided. Once I have one I'll follow your diretions to try and communicate with my Dec 2000 version of our car. Again many thanks, great website and some...

Many thanks, I hope you have success and are able to forward the hardware and software set-up to enable communication, reading, and interpretation of fault codes. Anything you can advise greatly appreciated. Regards Chris
