Problems:
Oil leaks
The Maserati M 138 engine is known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets, which can lead to engine oil loss and potential damage if not addressed.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain in the V8 engine may stretch or the tensioners may wear out, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if the timing goes off.
Cooling system problems
The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can be prone to failure, which may cause the engine to overheat if not properly maintained.
Spark plug and ignition coil failures
Misfires and rough running can occur due to worn spark plugs or failing ignition coils, which are common issues in this model.
Engine mount wear
The V8 engine's mounts may wear out over time, leading to increased engine vibrations and potential damage if not replaced.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
The intake manifold gaskets can develop leaks, leading to a loss of engine performance and potential vacuum leaks that affect fuel efficiency.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, causing issues such as poor fuel economy, reduced power, and rough idling.
Exhaust system corrosion
The exhaust system components, including the manifolds and catalytic converters, can suffer from corrosion, leading to exhaust leaks and potential failure of emissions tests.
