Hi, I've seen a few posts about this but would like some insight still..apparently not totally unusual for these to go out at 30-40k miles. My car is a 2013 at around 42k miles. I got the battery light on solidly while driving home from an errand. I made it home okay. volt reading is 11.67 on idle, alternator undercharging. I have it on my CTEK battery charger right now so I can back it out and get it towed when the time comes to fix it hopefully somewhat soon.....

So I know the intake has to come off etc and it's a lot of labor. I'm looking into shops around me. I'm not really wanting to take it too far like to LA area for this. I'm told it's likely the voltage regulator being the actual issue, not like that matters...

I saw a post from 2018 saying dealer charging $660 for a new alternator and replies saying that sounded about right.

I'm looking for a part now.. at eurospares, scuderia ($743), ricambi....part number is 325296....I see some going over $1k.....I mean I guess I'm just wondering how rare this part is ?? and what the value is? I'm not looking to cheap out on it but I want to pay what it's current actual value is because I am slightly confused.


1.) Any other place I should look? Trustworthy/reliable. Is it possible at all to order a part from a Maserati dealer or would they need to do the actual service on it as well? I am not really near a dealer. Based on a few not calling me back I'm guessing I cannot retrieve a part from them....which is fine...just trying to get options....Any eBay accounts that I can trust ?

2.) Conflicting opinions from mechanics on whether I should go new or used (with rebuild kit). it seems most just want to go with a new part.

3.) Advised by a Ferrari mechanic I know to have all intake gaskets replaced then and that SD3 needs to be used to clear out any codes from low voltage... ..which makes sense,.

I'm not in a rush as I want to be confident in who I take it to, but I want to purchase the part myself.
So I would appreciate any thoughts..

You need a new OE alternator...I would let the shop purchase the part and charge you a reasonable amount and you'll have a warranty...A lot of shops are not installing your parts...We are 50/50 depending if I like you or you are spending money at our business.....It is over 600.00 BTW...You don't need any special tool to clear the faults.. Good Luck..Jason

I'm with J, go OEM and let a reputable shop install it to get the work under warranty.

Your in luck, I have my OEM one still that I replaced because I thought it was on the way out because the battery light would flicker at 3,00 RPM's. After I replaced it with a new OEM one (yes it was a pretty big job) it still had the same issue!!!
Come to find out, it was just a loose negative battery terminal clamp, and the engine to frame ground strap.

I could sell you my good used OEM one for $500 if interested...I'm In Southern Cal...hope this helps...

We haven't had any luck with rebuilders of the OE alternator (all attempts failed pretty quickly) and haven't found any other reliable alternate versions. So this is another recommendation to buy a genuine alternator (we do sell them, parts are direct from Maserati). There is just too much labor involved to have to redo the work from bad parts.

The other consideration these days is that for many Maserati's, the original intake gaskets are no longer available and the dealer wants you to purchase a new manifold design and gaskets as well which is obviously pretty expensive, especially considering that manifolds don't really fail too often. You can likely take a good deal of care as you lift up the manifold and be careful not to damage the originals, clean them up well and still reuse them if your gaskets aren't available. There is a chance it would leak but it's often worth it. We've considered using a gasket rejuvenator as well to help bring older ones back to life but haven't tried it just yet.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Salut, j'ai vu quelques messages à ce sujet mais j'aimerais encore avoir un aperçu... apparemment pas totalement inhabituel pour ceux-ci de sortir à 30-40k miles. Ma voiture est une 2013 à environ 42 000 km. J'ai allumé solidement le voyant de la batterie en rentrant chez moi après une course. Je suis bien rentré à la maison. la lecture de volt est de 11,67 au ralenti, sous-charge de l'alternateur. Je l'ai sur mon chargeur de batterie CTEK en ce moment afin que je puisse le retirer et le faire remorquer quand viendra le temps de le réparer, espérons-le un peu bientôt .....

Je sais donc que l'apport doit se détacher, etc., et c'est beaucoup de travail. Je cherche dans les magasins autour de moi. Je ne veux pas vraiment aller trop loin comme dans la région de LA pour ça. On me dit que c'est probablement le régulateur de tension qui est le vrai problème, pas comme si ça comptait...

J'ai vu un message de 2018 disant que le concessionnaire facturait 660 $ pour un nouvel alternateur et des réponses disant que cela semblait juste.

Je cherche une pièce maintenant .. chez eurospares, scuderia (743 $), ricambi .... le numéro de pièce est 325296 .... j'en vois qui dépassent 1 000 $ ..... je veux dire, je suppose que je suis je me demande juste à quel point cette pièce est rare ?? et quelle est la valeur ? Je ne cherche pas à le vendre à bas prix, mais je veux payer sa valeur réelle actuelle parce que je suis un peu confus.


1.) Tout autre endroit où je devrais chercher ? Digne de confiance/fiable. Est-il possible de commander une pièce auprès d'un concessionnaire Maserati ou devrait-il également effectuer l'entretien lui-même ? Je ne suis pas vraiment proche d'un revendeur. Sur la base de quelques-uns qui ne me rappellent pas, je suppose que je ne peux pas récupérer une partie d'eux... ce qui est bien... j'essaie juste d'obtenir des options... Des comptes eBay auxquels je peux faire confiance ?

2.) Opinions contradictoires des mécaniciens sur la question de savoir si je devrais être neuf ou d'occasion (avec kit de reconstruction). il semble que la plupart veulent simplement aller avec une nouvelle pièce.

3.) Un mécanicien Ferrari que je connais m'a conseillé de faire remplacer tous les joints d'admission et que SD3 doit être utilisé pour effacer tous les codes de basse tension... ..ce qui est logique.

Je ne suis pas pressé car je veux avoir confiance en qui je l'apporte, mais je veux acheter la pièce moi-même.
Donc, j'apprécierais toutes les pensées ..

Hi,
Just to share my experience, I had a defective alternator on my Granturismo 2009

Maserati granturismo 2009

Defective alternator

youtube.com

I wanted to buy the parts myself because I always find the parts at a better price than my mechanic.
Here is where I bought my alternator

Alternator MASERATI / FERRARI VARIOUS MODELS 325296 | eBay

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Alternator MASERATI / FERRARI VARIOUS MODELS 325296 at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!

www.ebay.com

I also order the new intake manifold gaskets from Eurospares and took this opportunity to order few additional parts (2 new ribs belt, 2 new belt tensioner).

I gave all this to my mechanic who did the installation.
Works like a charm
Happy alternator makes happy driver
