If you watch my full review and buyers guide of the m138 Maserati you will see that the oil light problem is very common. The sensors are always failing. In fact, the dealer installed a new one and it still continues to light up. Thanks for watching and commenting, and please like ,subscribe and share. Drivin' Ivan
I've done 15.000 km with a '04 coupe cambiocorsa so far. I'm always on 'sport'. Never auto. This car cannot change gears by itself. Just my experience.

This is one of those highly circulated internet opinions on the CambioCorsa, but I think it is not entirely true. I think that the real story is that if you drive the car slowly and don't use a lot of throttle, thereby engaging the clutch slowly in automatic mode, and thus extend the time the clutch is engaged, this may be true. However, if you use at least moderate throttle, this will make the shifts quicker, and therefore minimize the time that the clutch is engaged. Also I show in the video, coasting down from speed rather than downshifting, and keeping the car in Neutral at lights will certainly help with clutch life.

@@drivinivan I agree. Updated auto mode is actually pretty good. Plus the clutch is no longer that expensive to service, a new factory clutch is less than $2k and I had mine installed by a Ferrari shop for total of $3500.
I just recently bought a 2002 Cambiocorsa 4200 off BAT, and prior to driving the car, I find watching your video very useful. Can you do a video on how to properly operate the top and also what kind of maintenance is required on this? You seem to know what you are talking about! Lastly, so you do recommend not lifting throttle while changing gears manually in sports mode and regular mode?
Also, forgot to ask, if the car downshifts automatically even in the manual mode, referring to 5:48 and 6:38 in the video. I understand switching to neutral coming to a stop makes total sense to preserve clutch, but upon manual downshift while decelerating, you obviously would have to let go of gas pedal and not keep pressing it like you would during upshifts while accelerating?
To operate the top, you must be parked with the parking brake on. Press the button and hold it, and it should be entirely automatic if it is functioning properly as new. Sometimes depending on the condition of the top and mechanisms, you may have to press it a 2nd time after releasing it if the top fails. My top needs a bit of work, and requires you to physically push the bar towards the back after opening it about 40%. Once you push it back, it goes down correctly, and raising it is never an issue, except for having to press the button twice. You can keep the throttle mashed when changing gears manually as this should make the shifts much quicker, thereby minimizing the time the clutch is activated. Drive it like it's stolen and enjoy!

Clearly you didn't watch the video. It is a problem with the level / pressure oil sensor, and or its connection. Oil level is fine. Thanks for watching and commenting, and please SUBSCRIBE, SHARE AND LIKE! Just Google Drivin' Ivan and any car! Drivin' Ivan
NEVER EVER EVER Drive these cars in Automatic Mode. Unless you want to replace the Clutch every few Years. Sport mode and Manual every time. I have had a g/Sport for 14 Years now and STILL the same Clutch. It is NOT about shift speed, it is the fact that the Electronics 'controlling the Clutch' WILL slur the change in Auto. In manual and Sport and a little lift at each change it WILL last many many Miles. Don't try to 'feather' the Clutch on pull away, be POSITIVE from pull away. If you try to 'feather' it the brain controlling the Clutch becomes confused and will hesitate. This is complete rubbish.
@@Batman93GenesisCoupe Because it preserves the clutch, and saves fuel. You are not trying to run the Targa Florio every time you are behind the wheel.

YeahI surely appreciate any advice from a guy who’s car is in such a desperate condition. Literally any warning light available is on full light. This poor car hasn’t been maintained for ever.
Very normal for the oil lights to be on because of a bad sensor. Mine was replaced by the dealer, and still does the same thing. They do have emissions 02 sensor issues which are common and set off the check engine light, also very common. Drive by wire system from Formula Dynamics can cause issues, but it can also be bypassed. Batteries must be charged on these cars to maintain good behavior from the electronics system. I'm guessing you didn't watch my full buyer's guide for the M138 Coupe and Spyder / GranSport which actually has this segment in it. I'll post the link here for your viewing pleasure.

Nice one Ivan … explaining the nuances of the paddle shift is excellent for preserving the clutch and not going thru one every 10k
Trunk open? Oil low? Wtf?

I have the same car 2002 Spyder cambicorsa and looking at your dash lit up like a Xmas tree now I don’t feel as bad on mine .

This is the best F1 Cambiocorsa explaining ever

Keeping it in sports mode is to save on the clutch.
THAT SOUND!!! 😱
An Italian car with a ton of warning lights on - welcome to normal - mine does that too
Driving in Auto is the best way to kill your clutch. Just an FYI.

I also love to drive controlling the shifts and not being controlled 😀

why so many lights? something wrong with the oil pressure sensor?

Maserati always has the oil light on … should go off after a while
Drive in sport , always use paddles ..when coming to a stop change down to 2rd and let the car shift down to 1st ...and ya won't have a problem ..
Just bought a 02 same color 21k original miles, I'm kind of perplexed about the noise in the rear while shifting gears is that normal?
In auto, what rpm does it upshift at through all gears with moderate throttle?
In Auto about 4000 -4500 depending on G/Sport or older Coupe.
NEVER EVER EVER Drive these cars in Automatic Mode. Unless you want to replace the Clutch every few Years. Sport mode and Manual every time.

Didn t see all video anyway the engine light on it s scary
You're pulling not pushing
Non si vede nulla.....
How does one engage park?
You will want to park it in first gear and use the hand brake. Thanks for watching and commenting and please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE! Drivin' Ivan
Probably why so many lights are on its automatic why would you keep going drive to neutral lol yes you do want to down shift wtf
