... John, Maserati recommends changing Agip 5w50 every 15,000 miles. These cars definitely run hot. A ring job will set you back about $8k at a good Maserati...
There's no problem getting Mobil 1 15W50 at Costco or BJ's and "some" Walmarts even carry it. But stick to the 50 weight and don't wait until 15,000 miles to...
Chaps, Since I bought my '89 spyder with less 4K miles on it a few years ago I have been using Red Line 20W50 without problems. The odometer now reads 17K...
Why would you want to use 10W60 it's the wrong grade? I use that in my GOC and you can get it from AGIP here in the USA. I buy it multiple cases at at a time...
No particular reason, thought that 10W60 would be better. Some friends with M3s swear by Castrol 10W60. Orazio ... I ... use ... but ... years ago I ... now...

Hey! These german fella's sella a chip for my 224.v They actually add 65 nm and 40 HP to it!!! http://www.chip4power.de/new/index.htm They don't list the 222...
Hey Jarle, How did you get your 224 back from Italy? Did you get a temporary plate from the Italian authorities? I'm thinking of putting a plate from my other...
I got a temporary plate from the Norwegian authoratives. It really isn't valid outside the Nordic counries but I gave it a shot. This is a genuine problem,...
OK Boys and Girls, Got another one for the group. Driving my '86 Spyder yesterday and everything was great! Suddenly she just DIED. I mean Absolutely Dead...
Main electrical connection to the fuse box. Inside engine compartment, pass. side, thick heavy red cables. Probably loose, corroded, broken connector inside...
I don't think I've ever seen a "torque spec for spark plugs" although I'm sure there is somewhere. I was always under the impression that the rule of thumb was...
... wrote: ... ones? ... I am going for permanent German plates rather than temporary, and it is for a Maserati coming from Switzerland so non-EU import, but...
Hey! Got one word for you... FUSEBOX!!! Each time it dies, fiddle with the wires entering the fuse box. Most probably it will start again. Get your old fusebox...
It looks like my alternator is dying. The car has the 100 amp Delco upgrade. Last week I went half way home from work at 11.5 volts before it jumped up and ...
Tony, This isn't definitive advice but for the record. I installed a rebuilt Delco alternator which worked for a while (couple thousand miles), then quite...
Hi All, My steam powered bi turbo is still in the shop being fixed Gulp. The last report was a damaged cracked head and gasket. I am still convinced it...
Hi Rick I havnt experianced this problem first hand. but this article from "maserati club of australia" may give you a few things to check over. I will...
I would stay away from these additives in a Maser, and most other high performance cars too for that matter. The teflon doesn't do a lot of good, and can cause...

Many thanks and kudos to Stephen J. Garran for his tip on using the valve grinding compound in socket headed screws. Unfortunately it came too late for my PS...
Hi all, Not long after i purchased my 430 a similar thing happened every thing went dead like the battery had been disconnected no door lights and nothing from...
Well.. I've decided to go ahead and switch out the stock fuse box for a universal 18fuse fuse box.. and it looks like its no easy task.. but if I never have a...
I'm curious about that as well, and I share your pain as far as it being difficult to get at. If you've ever had that jittery speedometer, it may be because...
... MIE has a wiring diagram. I know an experienced mechanic who put an alfa (or other) fusebox in his car because it was a close match except for the...
if i understand it correctly, this red/black box is the distribution point for all of the lighting. it is the thing that detects when a bulb is out and lights...
Thanks for the information Tony ;) I'll look into that. I'm hoping that I don't have to replace my steering rack. Anybody know where I could purchase one and...
Does your car have power steering? On my 85 Biturbo with p/s, the problem was solved with new steering rack bushings, as Tony described. MIE has the bushings. ...
