A small but EXPENSIVE Common Problem with the Maserati GT!

- Hey guys welcome back to the channel and to the vlog. On today's episode, we're going back in time to 2018 when we still had the beautiful white Maserati GranTurismo MC. We'll be going over one common problem that this car has that is incredibly expensive to fix but it's a super cheap and small part. This is part one of the common problems so look forward to the second one!
You dont have to drop the engine. Shops will say that to make more money on this type of job. Remove your wipers and the top cover then you will have access to the firewall. I did mine
Definitely have to look into this if I ever pick up another GT. Love and miss this car a ton
can you do a quick video illustrating this point? even if it's still photos that illustrate what you did - also what year Gran Turismo?
I can't upload pictures.
09 GranTurismo.
Same for 5th Gen QP's
@@5gg-h6k You could do it as an animated slide show using stills make a PowerPoint presentation then export it as a video. :-)
That same hose broke on my Infiniti coming home from work and I fixed it myself for less than 10 bucks. I'm sure this hose could have been fixed for way cheaper and just refilled the fluid yourself. These cars get you on labor not parts but I'm still getting a 2018 as my Christmas gift.
I knew I bought a money pit when I purchased mine but I put back a "Stupid account" to mitigate any issues that may occur! So far, so good. Just minor stuff..ie Gas cap causing "Check engine" light to come on, replaced it. The driver door is as tight as a 1995 YUGO and isn't as tight as the passenger side! Hey Cletus, it's opened more than the passenger door! I have this clock like Eeee,,,Euuuung (dash) roar that sounds like a penguin about to cut my heart out if I don't fix it which is very inconsistent at being consistent! It's not annoying but doable! The car is very dependable and I give it a 8 out of a 10!
One year later and no problems.
@@jefferyyounce5372love the update. Have a 2013 gt myself
Just started looking into these, comparing them to Aston and Porsche. That hose in the rear is exactly what I want to know about. Common problems that are common on all cars but some are more difficult to repair than others. Hoses will go with age. Enthusiats forums? Thanks
Any idea what the name of the replaced part is? I believe I’m having this exact coolant leak issue with a recent purchase.
sorry for the late reply but I don't to be honest. The shop I went to just took care of it for me
Really good to know. Thanks for putting it out there and not making the video lengthy👍
no problem man! Thanks for tuning in
What happen you accidentally pull the release trunk and then you can’t close it how to reset it
I'm at 28k miles on my 08 GT. The 25k service was $3,500 (Masi of Washington DC) and Not one problem and even left the car in a storage garage in Vermont for 5 mos without a battery tender and it fired right up. I'm heading to Atlanta in 4 days and trust this beast to a T. I have this worry with the Camshaft variators and even called an indy mechanic about it and how to be proactive instead of reactive and he only suggested change the oil every 3000 and drive it instead of leaving it in the garage which I do. I read where you can have a check valve installed but no one here does that?
After extended warranties cover coolant systems, are u saying u don't have an extended warranty?
Hey what actually happened to the white one? Why you moved to black? I recently bought a white 2013 MC which came to me from California.
I get it! I'm not really worried about the cost but just getting someone to work on it! Maserati shops aren't a dime a dozen and getting someone to work on it is like asking a small engine mechanic to do a heart surgery. There terrified of it! I can't even get a Body shop to replace the damn bumper!
unless you're in a high populated area like LA, it would be diffucult to find a shop that can comfortably work on your Maserati. It's not that bad but most of these shops don't have the insurance to cover if something happens to it
@@RichardCuico Thanks Rich
Has anyone had to replace a rear differential in a GranTurismo?
my F1 clutch is finally gone! car has been sitting in shop for weeks now...
cost?
My question is what shop did you take it to ?
Would have done for 500 lol all you have to do it’s remove the wipers and that cowl covers everything in the back its exposed .
Hi dear i have maserati granturismo mc sportline 2015 460hp i have now problem whit system too lean at idle bank 1 and bank 2 doe you now what is the problem can you help me
Really good info there but the back ground noise was really bad.
It’s a Maserati, it’s going to be expensive. That’s the reason I didn’t get one. I really love the design...IMO it’s pininfarina’s best design. Also the sound! It’s the best sounding car period.
This white one I had actually wasn't too expensive maintenance wise. If you can do the oil service yourself, you easily save around $1000. The coolant hose typically only happens one time during the span of your ownership if you drive the car all the time like I did. For what it is, I believe the GT is pretty reliable
Been driving my 2014 for 3 years, rock solid daily driver!!!! Every experience is going to be different...but this is one of the best cars I've had and without a doubt the most fun to drive!!!!
Current line up: '98 Ferrari F355, '08 BMW 535i, '14 Lambo Gallardo, and '14 Masi GT.
@@tima.478 wow i would just keep the maserati from that list sell all the other get a 911
@@fullfunk LOL, not really a Porsche guy...though I did have a 1991 944 S2 Cabriolet back in the day...
@@tima.478 Is your chest stuck out mentioning the cars that have no correlation of what the video is about?
Yup same thing happened to my Granturismo S. Over $1000 to replace a $10 hose oh well.
Ya it's terrible that this is a common problem but compared to say BMWs, this is nothing compared to all the common problems they have
@@RichardCuico I'm thinking of buying a Maserati Granturismo'
Hmmmm maybe when I purchase one just replace that hose for preventive maintenance? Or just don't purchase one 🙄
Very expensive because I change my own hoses on my cars....
@@RichardCuico my sister's 528i is extremely reliable. No issues so far :)
Hey, love your channel. Keep up the good work.
thanks bro will do!
Same as Porsche, labor is ridiculous. For example a window regulator on a Boxster or 911 $800 to $1000?
Took me 1 hr and $200 part. If you are not mechanically inclined, or do not tinker with cars, set a $2500 budget a year in case you need a repair and enjoy your car. Do not skip mtc or it will cost you more in the long run.
Happens on my turbo Supra. Part was $80 but 750 to fix.
Hi, I hope you have figured out by now theres a much better an less expensive way to get parts for these lovely cars.
Where?
I have 300k mile hoses on a 95 accord and they are not leaking sooo😅
I’m looking at a 14/15
awesome man! There are a lot of great examples out there especially since it's newer
I bought a 14, great car!
That is absolutely ridiculous! You head this issue, and also cost of repairs is top of everything, newer want to buy this car after all. Don’t get me wrong, I like way it looks and sound for sure, but when I pay that money I want to enjoy the car not spending extra and double money on it.
You negotiate the price down knowing you will have to spend it later.
what year is this car
Really helpful thanks and great Chanel
Thanks Armando!
Too Much Noise in the background.
Interesting info, but was it absolutely necessary to have all that background noise going on.
My bloody ears are still ringing 🙄
I believe there's an old saying that pretty much sums this up!! Ohh yea it's: "Having more money than brains" but well worth it if you can afford it!!
hahaha your name is perfect for the advice! It was affordable because I knew a shop that can do it all for me. Unfortunately they've closed down because of covid. However, I don't recommend taking it to the dealer unless you can't do the work yourself since it'll cost you an arm and a leg to repair
Hi what are your thoughts on a 2008 Maserati GT? Any common problems? How is the maintenance?
from what I heard it's best to stay away from the older GTs. They have a lot more issues and I'm just not sure about the reliability of the 4.2L engine
My chime! 08 GT with 21k miles. No real problems but stupid, "How dumb can U be" issues like the damn push buttons for the trunk release, gas panel fell through the panel where you couldn't use them. $100 fix with a Indy mechanic. Sticky buttons gallore!
Rich, Could you please tell us how many miles on your GT when the coolant hose behind the engine ruptured? My 08 GT has 21k on it and I'm driving it 2000 miles for the holiday? Should I worry as all the other hoses look new?
Hey jeffery thanks for the question! I believe mine went bad around 45k miles on this white GT MC. I had another black GT MC and it had around 65k miles with no coolant hose issues. I wouldn’t worry about it though and just drive it to your hearts content! These cars deteriorate way faster when not driven
@@RichardCuico Hey man, thanks for the quick prompt reply! You made my upcoming trip less worrisome. Hope you have a wonderful X-mas and Happy NY. Keep up the good post!
@@jefferyyoder9785 no worries! From my experience, the GTs have been pretty reliable cars as long as you put miles on then. From what I’ve seen, the market is pretty forgiving with GTs with miles on them.
How’d the trip go, Jeffrey? Asking to see the reliability.
@@RichardCuico Well here's an update. Not one issue with my 08 GT. Except for my eyesite running into stationary objects..LOL
You got a great car
Take me for a ride !
maybe on the next car hahaha
That’s still not even really that bad
1k is nothing. lol
You need to learn to work on your car home. Cheap fix if you have the time
Exactly. It figures why so many people buy honda Civics, if I had to outsource the work I would buy one too.
you got hosed
Absolutely amateur video.
I was thinking of treating myself been looking at these & other nice cars but these insane 😲 CRAZY costs 💰💰😭 think I'll keep my Hot Sharp Mercedes Smart car 🎉😂 paid $ 2,500 gets 65 mpg. 👍
