Warning signs

What are the signs that a Maserati engine needs repair?

A Maserati engine needs repair when one of 6 signs appears. On a 2024 Ghibli, 3 of them are cluster warnings: the MIL, the engine temperature light and the low oil pressure light. The other 3 are a falling coolant level, engine noise from a Nettuno V6 and blue smoke from a twin-turbo engine.

The Malfunction Indicator Light on a Ghibli

On a 2024 Ghibli, a MIL that stays lit or comes on while driving marks a fuel supply, ignition or emission control failure. The system stores the error either way. We replace the failed injector, coil, plug or sensor behind it.

Engine temperature warning on a Ghibli

On a 2024 Ghibli, the red engine temperature light, a display message and a chime mark an engine near its temperature threshold. Maserati has the driver pull over safely. We find the pump, thermostat, hose or fan behind the heat and renew it.

Low oil pressure light while driving

A 2024 Ghibli lights this warning, with a message and a chime, when engine oil pressure drops too low. Maserati tells the driver to switch off at once and leave the car parked until the problem is solved. The light does not show the oil level, so we check the level, find where the pressure goes and repair that fault.

A coolant level that keeps falling

On a Ghibli, Maserati treats coolant top-ups that keep recurring as grounds to check the cooling system for leaks. A reservoir level that stays put as the engine cools calls for the same check. We find the hose, pipe, pump or radiator that leaks and replace it.

Engine noise from a Nettuno V6

On a Grecale V6, GranTurismo V6, GranCabrio V6 or MC20, Maserati has traced cases of engine noise to the oil pump bearing. That bearing can now be replaced by itself, with no complete engine or long block replacement. We trace the noise and refer a car with a failing oil pump bearing to a Maserati dealer.

Blue smoke from a twin-turbo Ghibli

Blue smoke with rising oil use means oil is burning in the cylinders. The 2024 Ghibli V8 and V6 carry a turbocharger for each bank, so the turbos belong in the search for the cause. We check the turbo seals, the oil return and the crankcase ventilation, then repair the part that lets oil through.

What it covers

What our Maserati engine repair service in Dubai includes

Each Maserati engine job draws on this list:

  • Check engine light diagnostics
  • Engine overheating repair
  • V6 crossover and water pump replacement
  • Cabin heater hose and radiator hose replacement
  • Thermostat, radiator and cap replacement
  • Oil leak tracing and seal repair
  • V6 oil pan leak diagnosis
  • Spark plug and ignition coil replacement
  • Turbocharger oil feed and return repair

We work on the cooling, oil, ignition and turbo systems of Maserati V8 and V6 engines, the Nettuno V6 included.

What we see

What causes Maserati engine failure in Dubai?

Maserati engine failure in Dubai has 6 main causes. Maserati has acknowledged 3 of them on the Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante: crossover leaks, cabin heater hose leaks and a leaking oil pan insert. The other 3 are a leaking cap or stuck thermostat, soiled radiator fins and a turbo starved of oil or damaged by sand.

  • Crossover leaks on the V6: Maserati calls coolant leaks from the V6 crossover a recurring issue on the Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante. The leaks affect plastic crossovers in particular. The crossover can now be replaced by itself, without the complete timing system front cover. We fit the new crossover, and a new water pump when the pump leaks or runs noisy.
  • Cabin heater hose leaks: on the Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante, coolant can escape from the cabin heater feed hose or return hose. The driver then sees a high engine coolant temperature reading or a coolant leak. We replace the hose that leaks.
  • Oil pan insert leaks on the V6: a threaded insert in the oil pan of a V6 Ghibli, Quattroporte or Levante can let oil out. Maserati's repair renews the insert and keeps the pan when its thread passes a check. We confirm the insert as the leak source and refer the repair to a Maserati dealer.
  • A leaking cap or stuck thermostat: a cap that leaks lets the system lose its pressure, and vapour bubbles then form in the coolant. A thermostat jammed shut overheats the engine. We replace the cap with the one specified for the car and fit a new thermostat.
  • Soiled radiator fins: a coat of dirt, insects and leaves blocks heat transfer, leaves the fan running nonstop and weakens the A/C. Maserati asks Ghibli owners to keep the front of the radiator and condenser clean. We clean the fins by hand, never with a high-pressure jet.
  • An oil-starved or sand-hit turbo: lack of oil ranks high among the reasons a turbocharger fails. Sand or dust that enters the intake ends in total failure. We establish which of the two ended the turbo and correct that fault.

In August, the mean daily maximum at Dubai International Airport reaches 41.9 °C. Rising sand is recorded there on 17.7 days per annum. A car queued at a junction gets no road air through its radiator, so the fan does all the cooling work.

Each Maserati engine repair we carry out targets the cause behind the fault, not the symptom.

In depth

What a correct repair gives your Maserati engine

A repair we complete to Maserati's design brings these results:

Full pull and normal fuel use

A MIL fault on a Ghibli can bring loss of performance, poor handling and high fuel consumption. Once the failed part is replaced, the engine regains its pull and its normal consumption.

Catalytic converters protected

On a Ghibli, a flashing MIL warns that severe catalytic converter damage and power loss can follow. A fault repaired before that stage keeps the converters intact.

Ready for the RTA vehicle test

Exhaust emissions are among the items the RTA checks at the periodic vehicle test, a test required to renew the registration. A repaired fuel, ignition or emission fault removes one cause of high emissions before that test.

A lubricated coolant pump

Antifreeze in the coolant lubricates the coolant pump and guards the system against corrosion. With the correct coolant back in, the pump keeps that protection.

Pistons safe from seizure

An aluminium piston expands with heat at twice the rate of a grey cast iron cylinder, so overheating ends in piston seizure. A repaired cooling system holds the engine at its working temperature.

A clear exhaust under boost

A turbo short of oil cannot supply enough air, so the mixture runs rich and the exhaust turns black. With each turbo fed again, the engine gets its air and the smoke stops.

Prevention

How Maserati engine repair works at Royal Prince Auto Care

Every Maserati engine job follows these steps:

Record when the fault appears

The engine temperature, the outside heat, the rpm and how long the car has run go on the job card first. Our tests then repeat those conditions.

Read the engine fault memory

We read the stored errors and live engine data with a diagnostic tester. A rough engine with no stored code gets an intake pressure test, since an air leak can exist without one. The leaking hose or seal is then replaced.

Pressure-test the cooling system

Under pressure, a leak at the crossover, a heater hose, the pump or the radiator shows as a falling reading. We trace the drop to the part that leaks and replace it.

Trace oil leaks with powder

We clean the suspect area, apply tracing powder, warm the engine above 85 °C and let it idle. The powder marks the true source, and that gasket or seal is replaced.

Test compression on a misfiring cylinder

A compression test shows which cylinder fails to hold pressure. 2 neighbouring cylinders that stay low with oil added can mean a head gasket leak between them, and we then replace the gasket.

Road-test under the same conditions

Our road test recreates the conditions in which the fault first showed. Afterwards, the oil and coolant levels are read again and each opened joint is checked for seepage.

Message us on WhatsApp with the Maserati model, its engine and the cluster warning, or call to book an engine check.

Cost and value

What decides the cost of Maserati engine repair in Dubai?

4 things set the cost of Maserati engine repair in Dubai: the engine, the failed part, the parts renewed with it and spread damage. A V6 crossover takes a new gasket at each replacement, and a stretched timing chain is renewed with its tensioner, tensioning rail and slide rail.

We base each price on the parts that fail our tests on that Maserati.

Why Royal Prince

Why choose Royal Prince Auto Care for your Maserati engine

Our Maserati engine work rests on these methods.

Maserati coolant mixed with pure water

On a Ghibli, Maserati asks for its original coolant at every top-up and distilled or deionised water in the mix. Impure water cuts the corrosion protection, so we mix with pure water.

A flush after each failed part

A replaced cooling part leaves foreign objects and contaminants behind in the circuit. We flush the whole system after every cooling component we replace, then refill and bleed it.

No sealant in the radiator

Radiator sealant has no place in our repairs. A leak is fixed by replacing the part that leaks.

Fresh oil and filters with each turbo

Each turbocharger we install goes in with fresh engine oil, plus new oil and air filters. The new unit then starts on clean oil and clean air.

A new cap with each radiator

A radiator replacement at our workshop includes a new filler cap. The old cap valve stays out of the new system.

Plug fouling fixed at its source

A new spark plug cures fouling for a short while when the cause remains. We find why the plug fouled, from oil entering the cylinder to a rich mixture or a dirty air filter, and fix that first.

Every model

Maserati models and engines we repair

We repair the V8 and V6 engines of these Maserati lines, listed with their type codes:

  • Ghibli (M157)
  • Quattroporte (M156)
  • Levante (M161)
  • Grecale (M182)
  • MC20 (M240)
  • GranTurismo (M189)

On 2024 UAE cars, the Ghibli 334 Ultima, Quattroporte Trofeo and Levante V8 Ultima share a 3,798 cc V8. The Modena versions of all 3 use a 2,979 cc V6.

A 2,992 cc Nettuno V6 powers the 2025 Grecale Trofeo with 530 CV, the 2025 MC20 with 630 CV and the 2025 GranTurismo. On the MC20, it pairs 350 bar direct injection with 6 bar port injection, while the Ghibli V8 and V6 run 200 bar direct injection.

In Dubai conditions

How do you make a Maserati engine last longer in Dubai?

With 4 owner habits, a Maserati engine stays healthy for longer in Dubai. They cover idling correctly in traffic, checking coolant on a cold engine, following the severe-use schedule and changing belts and plugs at the listed distance. We repair any fault these habits reveal.

Idle in N in a hot traffic queue

On a Ghibli in stationary city traffic, Maserati advises N without raising the idle speed. As overheating nears, switch the A/C off and set the heater to maximum heat, floor mode and high blower. The heater core then helps the radiator.

Check the coolant on a cold engine

Read the Ghibli reservoir with the engine off and cold, between the marks on the tank. Never add coolant to a hot engine or open the cap while the system is under pressure.

Follow the severe-use schedule

A 2024 Ghibli V8 or V6 falls due for service every 20,000 km or 12 months. Maserati notes that dusty areas and extreme heat can call for more frequent maintenance, oil changes included.

Change the belt and plugs on time

A 2025 Grecale Trofeo takes a new accessory belt every 60,000 km or 48 months, and every 30,000 km or 24 months in dusty areas. A 2025 GranTurismo takes new spark plugs every 60,000 km.

FAQs

Maserati Engine Repair questions, answered

Can an independent workshop handle Maserati engine repair in Dubai?

Yes. We repair Maserati cooling, oil leak, ignition and turbo faults at Dubai Investment Park 2, on the V8, the V6 and the Nettuno V6. Recall work and Maserati software updates go to a Maserati dealer.

Has a GCC recall covered a Maserati fuel leak?

Yes. A recall in Qatar covers 2014 to 2016 Ghibli and Quattroporte cars for a possible leak from the pipe that delivers fuel. We check for the leak and pass the recall itself to a Maserati dealer.

Can pink and purple Maserati coolant be mixed?

Yes. Maserati changed its coolant colour from pink to purple, and the two are compatible and can be mixed with no loss of quality or performance. We top up a pink system with purple coolant without draining it.

Which Maserati models use the Nettuno V6?

The Nettuno V6 powers the Grecale V6, the GranTurismo and GranCabrio V6, and the MC20, MC20 Cielo and MC20 Pura. The 2,979 cc V6 of the Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante Modena is a different engine. We repair both.

Can I drive a Ghibli with the MIL on?

Yes. With a steady MIL, a 2024 Ghibli can go on slowly, without forcing the engine or driving at high speed. A flashing MIL calls for immediate service. We then find the failed part and replace it.
