  1. First let me say that I would have preferred to search the forum for some insight but unfortunately after trying 1 search it says "flood protection" wont allow me to search again for hours... I have an 04 G and I am wanting to upgrade the plugs to high performance plugs and was hoping anyone can chime in: Is there a plug that is high recommended above anything else for Gallardo's? I know NGK are good plugs but not sure for lambos? I would like to upgrade the coils as well if it has any benefit and am hoping for recomendations for those as well? I appreciate any input!
  2. I'm hoping someone can help me understand the possible problems with my issue. my 2004 lambo G is throwing O2 fault codes. At first I thought it was odd because All 4 of the O2 sensors were just replaced 3 months ago, but regardless I just replaced the 2 sensors throwing the codes. However, after clearing the codes multiple times and driving the car(in hopes of clearing the codes) I still cannot get the O2 sensors to stop throwing the error codes. Dashboard shows the "1-5" error warning. ECU error codes: P0131 - O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 P0140 - O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Bank 1 Sensor 2 P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Curcuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 As mentioned, because of these errors I had both sensors on Bank 1 replaced again but the codes come back quickly after clearing them. I was also thinking it could be a tripped Relay so I looked in the fuse box behind the passenger seat and checked most of the relays and they looked fine. I am wondering if there is relays somewhere else for the O2 sensors that just need to be replaced? Otherwise I have no idea what the issue could be and I appreciate any help!
  3. Thanks!! Where are you seeing this? I looked everywhere and TireRack.com said they aren't made yet in the stock nor sizes I mentioned
  4. I am looking to replace the rotors and pads on my 2004 Gallardo. I was going to do Girodisc Rotors for the rear, and Elite Motorsport rotors for the fronts, and EBC Red Stuff Ceramic Low-Dust pads all around. However I was told by Elite Motorsports that I cannot use EBC pads with their rotors because something in the composition will destroy the rotors in no time and they suggested Hawk pads. Had I not already purchased the EBC pads there would be no issue but since I already have the pads I am hoping to get input from anyone who has Elite Motorsports or Giro Disc rotors and is using EBC pads to find out if they have any issues....
  5. what do you mean "triggered"? As I mentioned previously, sometimes upon startup the dashboard shows a warning for "brake wear" but I'm not sure if that is what you mean
  6. thanks for the suggestions... do you think I have to replace any sensors? The brake wear sensor goes off occasionally so i'm not sure if I need to replace it once I change the pads? Also does anyone know of good dustless brake pads and good replacement rotors?
  7. The dealership said the pads will need replacement in the next year and they said that the rotors also will need to be replaced at the same time because they are also thin. Do you know where to get rotors as well? Would rotors only come in OEM or would there be aftermarket like there are for brake pads? What are your prices for the pads and rotors for an 04 Gallardo?
  8. Does anyone have experience personally replacing the pads and/or rotors on their G? The Lambo dealership wants to charge me $3,200 just to replace the 4 brake pads on my 2004 G and another $5,000 to replace my rotors. So my questions would be: Is replacing the brake pads something that I can do myself, similar in process for a traditional car? Does anyone have suggestions on good pads to buy that are not ridiculously expensive? Similar to the questions about the pads, can I replace the rotors myself(or at least hire an experienced mechanic to do it)? I appreciate any input provided!
  9. Since I keep having to replace the O2 sensors in my Gallardo with decat pipes and custom exhaust, I am going to replace the sensors with a magnum O2 sensor simulator: http://www.magnumtuning.com/en/detail/o2-s...ideband-sensors However, In order to do that I have to know what the voltage is on the 4 O2 sensor's in my Gallardo. Can anyone tell me: 1. What is the voltage of the sensor(s)? 2. Are ALL 4 O2 sensors the EXACT SAME? Meaning same part/voltage/wiring? 3. Does anyone have experience/thoughts on the O2 Sensor simulator?
  10. Oh I see. So does that mean all of those parts would work to replace the OEM lambda sensor???
  11. That's exactly one of my questions/concerns.... BUT if replacing the O2 sensors FIXES the problem, then doesn't that mean it is an actual failing of the sensors and not just improper sensor readings that cause the CEL light?
  12. I believe spacers were put on long ago. However, do you have anything you can recommend? Where would I get proper spacers for and do they go on all 4 sensors? I'm not sure what your reply means exactly... does anyone have experience with the o2 sensor trick mentioned above?
  13. As previously mentioned I am suffering from repeated O2 sensor failures as I have already replaced them 7 times thus far and now need an 8th. I have an 05 Gallardo with Fabspeed cat-bypass and LOC exhaust. I do not know why this keeps happening and all I can do is go by what the Lamborghini dealership/service tells me which is that the design of the LOC exhaust is the sole cause of repeated failure due to excessive moisture/carbon build-up on the sensors caused by exhaust. Many lambo owners disagree that LOC is the cause but the truth is that I just want to find a solution and nothing more. So after researching I am really hoping I can get some suggestions on the following questions: 1. My lambo dealership just quoted $673 to replace 2 sensors, of which one is the repeat offender. If I replace them myself, what should I pay for the sensors and where should I get them? The part number that the dealership always shows for the O2 replacement sensor is 06A906262AT which begs the questions: Would any/all O2 sensor with part number 06A906262AT be the right one, or are there various versions of that part number? This site shows a "similar" one for $22 but would this work: http://www.discountbodyparts.com/details/L.../USOS-4000.html If the above sensor link wont work then the cheapest I have found for 06A906262AT is $231 from here: http://www.eurospares.co.uk/searchResult_o...p;S=06A906262AT Other than above, is there somewhere else cheap/fast to get replacement sensors to Midwest USA? 2. The dealership said this time that two O2 sensors failed. Does my 04 gallardo with fabspeed cat-bypass and LOC exhaust only have two O2 sensors then? I "thought" that there is one sensor before and after the cat on each of the exhaust pipes which would mean 4 sensors but I dont know if that changes with cat-bypass pipes and LOC exhaust. 3. Would changing the O2 sensors myself be very difficult? Are we talking 10 hours or 2? Is there anything other than the actual sensors I would need to do this(specific tools, other parts such as O2 sensor socket)? 4. Lastly, I am VERY interested to hear thoughts from everyone on this thing I just found when looking for solutions: http://www.magnumtuning.com/en/detail/ez-c...do/5-0l-v10-40v - This gadget supposedly stops this from happening in the first place and it's cheap but just sounds too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on this??? I sincerely appreciate everyone's help!
  14. Thank you for that.... You mentioned the cats, but I do not have cats as they are replaced with fabspeed pipes instead. I apologize to anyone if I appeared as "bashing" LOC as that could not be farther from my intention. I am just sad to repeatedly throw money down the drain with seemingly no plausible solution available other than a new exhaust as some suggested.... That being said, I have a few questions about this that I will open a new thread for in order to better direct my intention for a solution and I hope for anyone's help(especially you):
