Fixing This 187k Mile Maserati Quattroporte GTS is a Nightmare - PT3

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Watch me struggle to fix this 301k km (187k mile) Ferrari/Maserati F154 V8 engine. We are doing the timing chain kit, variators, and a bunch of other stuff while the engine is out, and ironically, we are having supply chain issues with parts.

    The difference beeing: BMWs are sometimes annoying to work on if you don't follow the repair manual. But if you do it the bmw way it's pretty decent. They usually try to use as few bolts/screws as possible and package things nicely. You can usually understand the logic of the engineer that designed it after a while. And then there is this Maserati thing. Annoying to work on and terrible parts availability and pricing etc.

    Long ago I owned a 1990 Spyder & a 1989 228. Owned them throughout the 1990s doing the majority of work myself. Probably true of most vehicles, but they weren't nearly as complicated back then. Also, although sourcing them was volatile a couple times, I ultimately had no problem getting parts for them, right down to interior trim.

    Maserati is mostly in the business of selling cars to people who would likely never trouble themselves to find the hood latch. Why make parts for them when a simple blown gasket means it's time to buy a whole new Maserati? Great vid man.

    Stellantis (formerly FCA) has a history of discontinuing parts appallingly early. I was shocked to discover the RAM dealer I used to work at could not obtain an OEM water pump for a then 6-year-old Ram 1500 because it was discontinued in the parts catalogue. There honestly need to be regulations enforcing some long term parts support for vehicles, because there is zero incentive for manufacturers to do so and it leaves the customer holding the bag when they literally can't get what they need to fix their car.

    There are laws in europe that state how long a car manufacturer has to make spare parts for a car after discontinuing it. I'm pretty sure they are putting parts on "indefinite backorder" and only selling expensive assemblies/modules where a cheap part is actually what you need to circumvent these laws.

    According to the IATF16949, spare parts have to be manufactured 10 years after the end of production of a specific car. If it makes economical sense to the part supplier, production can be continued even after 10 years, but it´s not required by the IATF, therefore guaranteed.

It is just a wonderful, sonorous experience. The great thing about this video is you rarely see Ferraris with this many miles so it really is a glimpse into the resiliency of this power plant - regardless of the marque using it. This same engine with a flat plane crank and dry oil sump is used in Ferrari's California, GTC4, Portofino, Roma, 488, F8 and SF90 but you would rarely (if ever) see these cars rack up 187K miles - nice to know they could.

    26:51 I have worked in the manufacturing of gaskets. They have a nib as an orientation feature to prevent the gasket from being installed incorrectly. Since when relaxed the gasket is formed, you guarrantee that when installed the profile of the gasket as formed matches the profile of the intake manifold. The reason the new one has a nib and the old one doesn't is probably because they had issues with gasket orientation and introduced a nib, and likely updated the manifold with a cut-out for said nib. You probably have the old manifold, but the old gaskets are not available anymore, so you get the new gasket, but nowhere does it say you'd have to modify it to fit the old manifold. Once you work in the design and manufacture of these compoennts you begin to understand some of the 'crazy' decisions. Usually comes down to cost or time.

    Yeah I understand another function for the nib is so a quality control inspector (or often now an image recognition system) can check they are present after the manifold is installed.

    I know three friends that bought new Maseratis, it is a disposable toy for the rich. They buy them new nice and shiny and sounding and running awesome, then enjoy them until they fail around 25-30K miles or less and dispose of them for the next latest and greatest new toy. Yes, I have rich friends as well as poor friends. I have watch three different owners of new Maserati just dispose of them when major work needed to be done, I have seen mechanic buy them cheap and fix up to sell on. The ownership is not so much a vehicle, but the experience. It is an impractical piece of machinery. Poor owners would drive it and sell it on before it fails, the rich just dispose of it for nothing.

    @@Nigel999 I don't question that what I'm saying is that instead of buying fuel injectors for Maserati they're probably made for another car that's more reasonably priced. Also, belts, plugs, wires, etc. Can quite often be purchased from the original manufacturer for less money. Oddly enough, a turn signal on a Lamborghini that Matt Armstrong was working on his green. One was like 200 quid from Lamborghini but it was 3 and 1/2 lb for the same thing from a Ford econo box on eBay

    You can tell Sreten is not enjoying himself with this car. Apart from flat out saying don't buy a broken Maserati, he also isn't giving this car the same kind of love the BMWs get. Usually when he swaps out parts he cleans meticulously everything around them, but this time with the engine mounts he just swapped with parts with no cleaning. I feel like he just wants this over and done with so he can get back to his true love.
