Hi all,
as I mentioned in another post, I had to go and get my codes read / reset to remove limp mode.
Had a problem recently where it would go into limp with a CEL if I went over a particularly bumpy stretch of road.
Not usually a single bump, but a rough stretch.
Thought it was a dodgy connection, but seems not to be the case
I could usually clear it with a throttle reset, but not Easter weekend, it got a bit persistent.
Having read the codes (I quote):
"Found error codes for throttle acc / potentiometer. Checked system and cancelled codes. Unable to reproduce codes. Will require potentiometer if fault persists."
The thing is, though the throttle pot was replaced in Dec2007, that is only 15000 miles ago.
Surely it should last longer than that?
Apparently Maserati's parts warranty is purely time based - 12 months - and mileage is irrelevant.
Regardless of Maserati's position, am I unreasonable in expecting more than 15k from a part like this?
Thoughts?
Cheers
Gordon
