Gallardo

Hi all , new to this , is there by chance a newbie section ? I just got my first gallardo with an issue but didnt just want to jump straight in asking questions 😀

There are specific sections for the cars. So if you're looking for a specific technical question I'd post it up in that forum. You'll be more likely to get specific responses.

What's your issue?

Thank you

Well the car was sold to me as having a new clutch , the car had a couple small issues so the dealer i bought it from sent me to a local upercar garage near where i live , they checked it all over and said the clutch was slipping . I hadnt at all noticed this until they mentioned it , but then it never slips shifting gear but does req a little more pedal in first gear to make it move . The dealer i got it from has today said he has sent the rar to lamborghini ( not seen the proof yet ) and the test says its still got 98% left on it which is good . But they said the odd way its acting they think is down to a faulty throttle body ( its ticking over a little high ) could this be the case , i have had a couple issues with the dealer so will call lamborghini directly to back this up , seems odd as i was told on friday it was booked in with them but when i called they said it wasnt . Taken me a long time to get my dream car and it has to be right . Thanks in advance

What year? e-gear or manual? And what do you mean it requires more pedal in first? Do you mean it's hesitating as you get on the throttle?

Sorry about the double post , yes its not really responsive in1st unless you floor it , yes hesitating . Rhe local supercar place who have a fantastic rep thought it was clutch slip , but if i drive it i dont feel it through the gears at all only setting off . They swore it was a clutch issue ?

I do have an evo 8 thats 400bhp but the gallardo is another level , i not driven one before so hard to tell exactly but the garage drives cars like this daily it was their senior tec who said clutch

Its a 2009 e gear with 18k miles on the clock

A 2009 shouldn’t be that bad but E-gear is a bit sluggish taking off, use left brake right accelerator and modulate it a bit it will take off much smoother.

Yes throttle bodies are known for having issues, hopefully they will behave once they had a good clean

I had constant throttle body problems in my Murci the entire time I owned it. Easy to solve.

 

09 e gear should be fine too

 

Hope it all works out,

Might be the PIS. Feels like it's slipping crazy in 1st. After some adjustment from the computer, the clutch should engage just right. With egear, don't feather the throttle. Just wait till there's enough space between you and the car in the front and then stab the gas and modulate accordingly afterwards. You will hardly notice any slippage. Good luck.

Thank you , turns out ithe first garage said they tried reversing up a slight incline and it slipped like mad , the seller now has it at the lamborghini garage to sort out , even though the clutch is nearly new they suspect it is still the issue ? Basicly i found these issues within 2 weeks of buying so its up to the dealer to put it right and sort this plus a couple other issues for me . Im sure its in the best hands now so just waiting to see what they find out now , either way hopefully the issues get resolved . I waited a long time to buy my dream car and for the ammount of money it just has to be right or i will reject the car . It needs to be right for peace of mind

Both garages say they can feel the issue and it doesnt drive quite right , as they have much better experience with how it should feel ,
