I've come to appreciate the H like fine wine. My Gallardo was a blast to drive for 10k miles. I'm ready to go Lamboing again soon. A

Don't mean to dismiss your recommendation, but this shop was mentioned as part of a repair that went way south. Please read the thread before moving forward. http://www.lambopower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74733

Almost positive this same car was in an accident (literally flipped and turned upside down). Looks like it was repaired haphazardly and changed hands multiple times. Buyer BEWARE!

http://horriblecarbuyingexperience.com/ Horrified what happened to this person. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: Replaced pressure sensor under trunk (passenger side) - A/C works just fine now. Looks like the car didn't need a new compressor afterall.

UPDATE: All fans are coming on. New compressor (aftermarket) installed but A/C still doesn't work. Mechanic further inspected wires/fuses and determined that no power is getting to the compressor. Power is going to low pressure switch, wants to replace to see if problem resolves. Charged $150 or 1.5hrs for diagnosis + replacing switch - does this sound accurate price/diagnosis wise? Otherwise problem is A/C computer module. Please help!

UPDATE: Installed an aftermarket compressor and still nothing. Pressure switch is receiving current and fuses are OK. The compressor isn't turning on, my mechanic believes it could be the aftermarket compressor sensor? Turns out this sensor isn't sold separately either, any other thoughts on what this could be? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-AC-A-C-Compres...cb8&vxp=mtr Bummed.

UPDATE: Turns out another compressor was tested and the issue still exists. Any other thoughts?

My A/C suddenly started blowing warm air - freon level was checked (full). The issue is likely the compressor, evidently any V8 Audi driveshaft powered compressor will work. Any recommendations on the cheapest source for replacement? Mechanic claims compressor needs to be replaced with 90% certainty - would appreciate input on further diagnosing my issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the input guys. The key turning issue went away on it's own after a few weeks?

I recently went through the same thing and basically ended up with this: Motor Oil - Motul 5100 5w30 (ordered from FCP Euro) Brake Fluid - Motul RBF 660 (Amazon) Transmission/diff fluid - Factory Agip (comes in 10 gal drum for approx $150/shipped direct from manufacturer). Good luck!

Having issues turning key from 0 to position 2/or starting - takes shaking the wheel for a few minutes before it'll finally turn over. Any idea what would cause this issue? Happens with both keys. Thanks

Hey guys. My car is due for a clutch and have been considering an aftermarket/kevlar version. It seems these heavy duty clutches work well on manual, but have read a number of reports that egear cars have issue with smooth engagement or require frequent PIS adjustments. Whats the final word on these? There are lots of positive reviews, but most local exotic car shops just recommend the factory stuff. I do tons of city driving, so I'd love to get more life out of a clutch. Just hate to buy one and have to frequently visit my tuner to adjust the clutch settings. Any thoughts?

Found a local company that resurfaces the OEM clutch w/ the factory disk for $1200 - anyone have technical input or experience with this product? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lamborghini-Gallar...b08&vxp=mtr Thanks!

Appreciate the input guys. I haven't done any service work yet, the rate per hr is just insanely high. Anyone know a reasonable mechanic in Miami who isn't trying to get rich off a fluid change?

thanks for the responses so far guys. I was quoted $2500 for a fluid/spark plug service, is this fair or necessary on an 08 with 15k miles? Also, any thoughts on the depreciation of the Gallardo? thinking I should sell now and buy a cheaper car, any thoughts on this? $2500 service includes - coolant, diff oil, engine oil, spark plugs, brake flush. independent mechanic

hey guys - what fluids are typically necessary on an 08 gallardo w/ 15k miles? i've been quoted the "15k mile service" which includes engine oil, differential oil, and coolant. How much labor is involved in hours?

The exhaust was sold and no longer available -- sorry about that!

Have a used LOC exhaust in great condition (used for 5k miles). PM me with an offer. Will post pics soon.

how often do you drive your car? not sure how most keep from putting mileage on the cars. surprised to see so many low mileage vehicles out there.

Weird clunking noise when downshifting? (Video inside). Is this normal? Thanks!

what tire sizes do you run? replacing tires on my callistos, was thinking of going with a different tire. any thoughts? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...XL&i3_Qty=2 - (thinking of running these)

Looking for 04-08 Gallardo Exhaust. PM me with what you have. Thanks!

Turns out the vibration is normal according to my dealership. Phew. Thanks for the response guys!

Appreciate the input. The vibration seems to go away around 3k rpms under load, i'd say its worst around 2500 rpms. The clutch "apparently" has around 50pct clutch life according to an indie mechanic. A friend mentioned it could possibly be the pulleys? Any other thoughts?
