In this riveting episode from M539 Restorations, the team delves into the heart of a 2013 Quattroporte GTS, a car that arrived with a troubled engine. After uncovering a cam shaft variator failure, the crew embarked on a mission to restore its former glory. With precision and expertise, they replaced variators, chains, and guides, breathing new life into the engine. The result? A purring masterpiece ready to hit the road once more.
But the challenges didn't end there. The team turned their attention to the brakes, tackling worn-out components with finesse. Thanks to a kit from Mass parts.net, the Quattroporte received a brake makeover fit for a king. And as the engine roared to life, the team's focus shifted to the transmission, ensuring every gear change was a symphony of mechanical perfection.
With the wheels refinished and the cabin air filter replaced, the Quattroporte was almost ready to conquer the streets. However, bureaucratic hurdles loomed on the horizon as the team navigated the maze of German registration. But true to form, they found a way, bypassing Maserati's labyrinthine process with a stroke of ingenuity. As the car hit the road for its first drive, anticipation mingled with apprehension, setting the stage for a cliffhanger ending that left viewers on the edge of their seats.
