I Fixed the Maserati Engine with 187k Miles - Quattroporte GTS - PT4 

I'm fortunate enough to call Sreten a very good friend of mine and want to let everyone here know that he's exactly like you see it in every video: a passionate car enthusiast, extremely skilled mechanic and most importantly a generous and good human being!

Sreten you are the only person mad enough to try to fix a broken Maserati all by yourself. And the fact you actually did it proves once again that you are the king of leaky machines!!

You can really tell that this thing wants to live! Started on the button and sounds so quiet and smooth. Let's not forget this is a high performance engine from Ferrari, the fact that has 300.000km and still going strong is shows good build quality!

For being an Italian product, you really have to give props to Maserati/Ferrari that this engine is capable of 300,000+ km. It sounded flawless on first start up!

Words cannot describe the love i have for this channel. It's just too satisfying to see a project, when everything is done properly and the car come back to life.

I have the exact same car with the exact same color combination. 2014 QP GTS Blu Passione with Blue/Beige two tone interior. I've been a subscriber of the channel almost from the beginning and this is so satisfying to see Sreten works on the same car as mine. This car is so underrated imo. Powertrain is very reliable if you keep the turbochargers not overheating. F154 V8 TT engine with ZF 8 Speed is probably the most reliable powertrain from Maranello. Mine has only 90,000 miles and I've been using it as a family car but I am enjoying every mile every day. It just gives you a smile with the sport mode sound that pops and bubbles, makes blow off noises. Very looking forward to your next episode with your driving experience!

I hope everyone watching this appreciates the filming quality. It is truly amazing. I think its a very cool project. Even if this was a Lexus, I'd still watch with the same interest.

One of the best channels on here. Highly skilled mechanic, who's enthusiasm shines through every single time. Great channel Sreten. Continued good health to you and your family.

Congratulations newly minted Ferrari Technician! And also on your Michelin sponsorship!

I'm enjoying this build as much as any of your other builds - branching out to other makes is a win in my book!

Huge congratulations on reaching this step! I must admit I had my doubts with how difficult it had been until this point, but you pulled through in the end. And what a joy to hear it running so damn smooth!

I always knew this engine was going to be a gem and run great again. 300K kilometers on the block and still no significant wear on the cillinders, crankshaft etc. Ofcourse also deu to Stretens great work! The smooth running after the first start is a sign it will do a nother 300K.. Good Job!👍🏽

I'm so glad I get to watch you work on cars when I cannot. Thanks so much.

Bloody hell, that sounds like a proper exotic, fantastic. Love this series, a refreshing change of pace.

Man the work you have done is incredible, at the first start the engine immediately runs and sounds so good! Sponsorization by Michelin is what this channel absolutely deserve. Can't wait to see next episode on this car!

deep respect for one of the best mechanics of the western hemisphere!! 💪👍

This is absolutely cruel Sreten. Its a 9:30 AM on a Friday and I have to do a full day of work until I can watch this. I will love it for sure, but still. Cruel, cruel, cruel. Love ya ❤

Congratulations on the sponsorship. Well deserved!

If there’s ever a RU-vidr that deserves more than double his current subscriber count it’s this one.

Incredible workmanship as always! That engine is now so smooth and sounds fantastic! Looking forward to #3.

We need a V8 comparison of the e39 the e92 and the quattroporte!

There is nothing better than an upload from you!

Puts into a great perspective how you started with oil changes in a random garage and ended up being so good at what you are doing that you can take something you have never seen, properly review the tech docs and end up fixing such a complicated system. You should be proud of yourself for that, Sreten! While I prefer seeing BMWs here, this was a nice refreshment and hopefully it will lure in some non-BMW enthusiasts (who will eventually probably become BMW enthusiasts) to the channel. Kudos, great content as usual! :D

I'm really not interested in BMWs, but love Maseratis and everything Italian, would love to see you do more stuff like this. I like your vibe and humour, the way you make it all funny without taking yourself too serously. I'll keep an eye to see if anything not BMW related comes up. Nice touch from Michelin!

Congrats Streten for the Italian endeavour, see you soon working on our beloved Bayern brand. Love from 🇬🇷

I know literally nothing about cars, but Stretan has me hooked on every one of his videos, which I think says it all really and how good he truly is at what he does.

Enjoyed this series a lot! Would love to see another unique and slightly out of your comfort zone series again in the future!

Great development Sreten! Fantastic news on getting that Michellin sponsorship. I want to see this channel live until either a BMW falls on top of you or your back gives out. Heres to many more years.

You know I am watching your video instead of the live 24H LeMans, right?

Please do more of these, maybe an old alfa, it would get a lot of attention. Insanely beautiful work on the Maserati

Good to see Michelin helping out. They are my tire brand, have them on my SUV, cushy ride, long wear and good in the wet. Getting ready to buy a custom set of wheels and mount MPS4S on them to spice up my sports car. Had them on my previous sports car and they were great, excellent wear and grip for "spirited" street driving and ride was more than tolerable. Great video, again!

Sreten -- WOW. Incroyable! You have been victorious over the diabolical Maserati !!! So, watching your videos reminds me of an observation I've repeatedly made (across my 75 years!!!) -- about technology. Seeing this engine rebuild shows the DECADES of refinements that have gone into making petrol engines work well. So -- have you ever seen or used an IBM "Selectric" typewriter? (the one using a spherical ball of type, not "keys?") After decades of development, IBM TOTALLY perfected the typewriter -- only to have it almost instantly replaced by computer word processors. This video reminds me of THAT -- for, now that gasoline auto engines are so refined -- POOF -- they ARE likely to be replaced!!! (EVs? Hydrogen? Something else? WOW). C'est la vie!

Watching from New Zealand, love your content Streten , you are by far my favourite person to watch on you tube , so talented 👊 congratulations on the Michelin sponsorship !

Michelin sponsorship, bloody awesome but you do deserve it because your work is some of the finest ive seen👌👍

Just finished watching all your episodes, it took me like 3 months to finish all the broken bmw’s playlists and single videos, and now I am sad because I have to wait for another episode😢.. I cannot have a proper meal without a ratchet sound going on. Keep up the good work!

huge congrats on the michelin sponsorship! if someone deserves it, its you!

Sreten, very good work! Over 30 years ago I was tinkering with my 4.2 Quattoporte. Followed by a 3.5 Sebring II and a 3.5 Touring. Beautiful memories! I think I should buy a Maserati again. 300,000 km is an impressive distance.

Love the sound. Can t wait for your driving videos. Those of the E92 were simply insane. 😎

New video on the M539 Restorations channel? Today was a good day.

I do love the sound of that engine...and it started on the first try. Well done sir !!

Bro, the sound of this beauty is incredible. I also love the dashboard clocks 🕰️ just beautiful 😻. Please do more exotics like this one ☝️ 🎉

Sreten, Congratulations on the Michelin Tires support. I have been driving on their tires since 1992.

4:37 "Oh wow, I'm such a professional.... yyeeeeeeaah!" whilst making love to the transmision... hahahahahahahahahaha Genius

Watching this series just amazes me how well you adjust to your surroundings. Magnificent Sir! Can’t wait until the next video.

Coming from British Columbia, Canada I truly love the video a pleasure to watch. Considering I'm looking to purchase a Maserati Quattroporte GTS. Keep it up

What a guy what a skilled passionate mechanic… sending our love all the way from South Africa we love you your channel Streten every minute of it BIG fan

Michelin sponsorship is awesome, you deserve that and more, thank you for all your videos❤

Saw the video dropped and immediately the rugby game (and LeMans when it ended) were muted. Food is cold, but M539 is gold.

Streten is the master of showing how he is doing something and then speeding the filming through it to get on to next thing. Many car videos get bogged down with spending 10 minutes removing or installing some screws. A 28 minute Streten video goes by so fast because he keeps it moving. Even gets some Mitzi snack in there. :) Can't wait to see this car back on the road.

I could watch this guy for days!

Mutsy is the true Star of this channel ❤ Awesome Vid

Congrats and the first start and the sponsorship! Well deserved. Great work! Say hi to Mutsy from me 😊 Cheers!

This car would have been a great candidate for a proper dry ice blasting. Great job compadre, I I have been watching since you started as I am myself a BMW enthusiast and have owned 11 at this point, also restored them back to their glory, but I envy your shop, It is a great place to dive into wrenching. I would imagine you have thoughts of a bigger shop in the future, with every car you do I can see your confidence grow. Again great work .

Great job bringing la Turda back to vida, ya mad bastard! Love and respect from Australia as always, mate.

Getting Michelin as a sponsor is brilliant well done make

Warmest greetings from a Sreten's fan in Ontario

Enjoyed your variation of car repair, keep it up👍🏻

From a business perspective, seems like if you get into high end cars, you’ll get high end sponsors and exponentially grow the channel. Ultimately I don’t care for BMWs or Maseratis, I’ve been a follower from the beginning because of your mechanics skills and your genuity.

Great job! Very well done, respecting technical details and that´s it!

This quattroporte sounds amazing and i bet will provide many many more miles of happy relatively trouble free miles to its next keeper due to how fastidious Sreten is with every car restoration he does which are really a labour of love.

Amazing Maserati transformation from very broken to Quattro Porter

4:42 "Yeahhh" made my day

You know it's gonna be a good weekend when Sreten uploads a video :) Greetings from Miami my friend!!

Many thanks for doing this project. There aren't a lot of people who take on Maserati's to fix them and restore them. And soooo good that you got it done most of the way now. if I could afford it I would absolutely buy it off you when it is done. However, who knows .... a nice Jackpot would do nicely 😃

Great job Streten. Sounds marvellous.

Excellent, enjoyed the different car series, more please 🎉🎉🎉🎉

RESPECT! hell of a job. You made it a succes. Lovely to watch. Thank you.

Love the expertise of this guy!

You put all this back together after 3 weeks in Hawaii? Props.

Wow, congratulations on the Michelin tires!

Another Great Video Brother!! Congratulations on your Michelin Sponsorship!! 🎶👋🎶

Excellent! Don't forget the fuel filters.

Hello from Indonesia..always waiting for notifications from your channel..

What a massive job. You have deserved my upmost respect. Keep on with the good work and your fine humor!

Bellissima! You've outdone yourself with this italian "dish", chef Sreten! Also, congrats for the Michelin sponsorship! A true pleasure watching your videos, as always.

What a great sensation as you put everything back together again. Well done.

Someone get this series to Maserati. The parts department must take serious notes!!!

Top video wie immer Sreten. Great skills, fun dialogue and most wichtig... Mitzi is back...

Absolutely love the videos mate, keep them coming!

man thanks for sharing with us, your dedication and passion is very communicative, if I had the money, I will have a lot of your car in my parking lot.. lol

A Maserati is on my list of cars I embarrassingly lust after. I understand the draw despite all the flaws and vices (that sweet engine sound, for one!). Thanks for fulfilling the dream so I don't have to...

Amazingly impressive, man! Hello from Sweden.

That exhaust sound is just wonderful. Love it. ❤

È la passione di chi ama i motori !! E tu ne sei lesempio in persona!! Ti faccio i miei più grandi complimenti!!

Excellent work. Fun isn’t it? I love it too, had my share of Italian engineering knuckle busting. The more complicated, the more satisfaction after a build like this. Wait till you drive it… you da man 👍

its nice to see how excited you are when you do what you do. love your videos

Mucci is ecstatic. Calm Mucci: that's some weird looking BMW ... 😄 Love the engine sound, more impressive because of the turbos.

Came for the fuzzy pupper, stayed for the engine build shenanigans. 😅

Hey streten I just want to tell you that I never miss any of you videos I am such BMW fanatic your are my favorite RU-vidr I learned so mucho in you videos with my cars I just want to thank you for all the hard work keep it up and always don’t forget to be humble❤️

Wow, great job and well done on the build. I would double check some of those (hose/oil line) connectors as I don't think they are as sturdy as the BMW ones!

Sretene kralju! Veliki pozdrav iz Srbije, samo jako!

HUGE with the Michelin sponsor!

You make it look so easy...amazing..☺️

Thanks for saving this broken Maserati. I really loved the video.

Excellent video, loved these episodes. ♥

Velika greska,trebao si alternator da servisiras kada je vec motor bio napolju. Sem toga odličan posao. Bravo

absolutely love the goofy laugh and expressions 😂

you are ridiculously good at mechanic, jeeeeeeeeesus Big hug from Portugal 💪💪

i can't unsee 4:42 it will haunt me next time the missus grants access

for the torque specs on the bolts/nuts not listed you should apply standard torque spec for this type of bolt/nut (chart should be in your manual, but easily can be found in the internet)
