Care for the vehicle you chose. Maintenance, diagnostics and pre-purchase inspection planning for your Maserati Quattroporte, at Foreign Automotive in Kitchener.
Maserati · Quattroporte
Quattroporte service starts by separating the M139 fifth generation from the M156 sixth generation. Engines and transmissions vary: an earlier DuoSelect car needs a different clutch and hydraulic assessment from a later automatic. The V8 M156 shown represents one specification, not every Quattroporte.

Symptoms, Known Issues & Repair Planning
These documented conditions and inspection priorities apply to particular engines, years and equipment. They are not a prediction that every Quattroporte will develop a fault. The VIN, symptoms and test results determine the repair.
Documented Condition
M157 / M156 / M161 V6 only; not V8 or Hybrid.
Maserati documents a leak at an oil-pan threaded insert. [1]
Confirm the source before considering an insert repair or a larger assembly.
Documented Condition
Campaign 384; eligible V6 vehicles only.
Certain crossover-pipe caps can leak coolant. [2]
Check campaign history and component applicability; pressure-test current coolant loss.
Documented Condition
Applicable Ghibli / Quattroporte / Levante dampers.
Maserati distinguishes normal light stem lubrication from a defective shock absorber. [3]

Before you buy
A pre-purchase inspection for your Maserati Quattroporte adds condition and service-history context to a seller’s description. Contact us with the listing and VIN to agree the scope and arrange access.
Inspection scope depends on access, condition and equipment. A PPI records findings at the time; it cannot predict every future repair.
Maintenance, with context
Model year, specification, mileage and use decide the schedule. Bring the service history so the next visit addresses what is due.
Share the VIN, mileage, model year and previous invoices. We identify the applicable manufacturer schedule and any outstanding work.
Fluids, filters and driveline items are selected for the actual powertrain. We do not apply a universal interval across generations.
A warning light, leak or intermittent symptom may need testing before a repair can be quoted. We explain the proposed work and next step.
Document completed work, findings and future priorities so the next service starts with a clear history.
