Car is at dealer now. They said there is no air in the system, thinks it's possibly the thermostat, I got one on order so will swap in a new one when it comes in.

Checked the fans. They both move freely with the same resistance on both sides. No corrosion on plugs and like mentioned previously they both seem to be running strong.

Temps seem to come down once I hit around 80-90mph, not 100% sure though, but both fans come on. I will check the plugs for corrosion. If that's the case do you happen to know where to get/order the connector?

Yeah that does make sense, unless the thermostat just partially opens and never fully opens. Lamborghini manual says thermostat starts opening at 75C and is fully open at 90-95C. So I guess only way thermostat could be a culprit if it never reaches fully open position for some reason. I was going to wait for new thermostat to come in before doing anything, but maybe I will just take it to dealer now and have them thoroughly flush the whole system and clean the radiators. Super annoying issue.

I just meant the brown stuff on top of the metal tab, not sure if that's normal. I've read that G12 + Redline Water Wetter can create some sort of brown build up so that was one thing I was thinking. I'm at 19,500 miles. Fans seem strong and nothing blocking the radiators. Are you sure the fact that turning on heat bringing it down to 90c eliminates the thermostat as a culprit? I was thinking if it's not fully opening that would be restricting flow to the rear radiators, but turning on the heater is basically like adding another radiator outside the thermostat loop or am I thinking about it wrong?

My 08 Murci LP640 has been running hot since I bought it in January. I'm seeing coolant temps of 100-105ish. My oil temp is normal at 120-130. I had dealership replace the coolant and it made no difference. Accessory drive belt was also replaced as it was original and due for a change also. I also replaced the expansion tank cap even though there didn't seem to be an issue with it. I've ordered a new thermostat but it won't be here for another 2 weeks. I was concerned I possibly had a combustion leak so I performed a chemical check for co2 in the coolant system and it came back clear and also sent in an oil sample for analysis and there is no coolant in the oil, so at least that was good. I noticed some sediment on top of the expansion tank fill level mark. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how they fixed it? At this point I'm thinking either the thermostat is bad or my cooling system/radiators needs to be thoroughly flushed/cleaned. Blasting the heat in the car brings it back down to normal temp ~90c.

You’re correct it’s an H6 which is the same as Group 48. Napa had the wrong size in their system.

Is Battery group size 49 correct for the LP640? It's what pulled up on the auto store site, but just want to confirm it's correct.

Bumping an old thread here. What are the rear aprons? Is it the carbon fiber covers?

My dealer has two brand new SVJ coupes for sale last I checked. I'm curious how many are sitting across the country. It seems Lamborghini got overzealous with the production numbers. Wonder if it's specific to the US market or if they are sitting all over? I really wish they would have limited production a lot more.

Get a code reader, most likely it's nothing. From what I understand it's pretty common for these cars to throw random misfire codes if you have an aftermarket exhaust.

Aren't most SVJ Coupes built by now anyways since roadsters will start being built soon? If they don't make as many as planned the badging will be wrong like they were for the Murci SV.

How much extra work is it to swap the clutch housing? Seems like it would be worth it.

I'll see if I can find the thread, didn't know it had been discussed on the other forum or here.

So I used the code I wrote earlier to compare parts for E-Gear vs Manual Murci and changed it to compare the 2010 Murci vs 2007-2009 Murci. In addition to the Throw Out Bearing being different the clutch housing is also updated. These are the parts that show as being different: ==== CLUTCH ASSEMBLY === [https://www.please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors.com/xq/asp/year.2010/market.usa/mode.section/Model.MURCIELAGO%20LP%20640%20COUPE/Section.CLUTCH%20(E-GEAR)/Tav.141.02.00/qx/webcatalogTav.htm] [10][1x] (Part: 086323209K) CLUTCH HOUSING / CLUTCH HOUSING Ea: ($2508.48) Total: ($2508.48) [23][1x] (Part: 086141671L) THROW OUT BEARING - EGEAR / THRUST BEARING Ea: ($843.82) Total: ($843.82) [43][3x] (Part: N10124306) HEXALOBULAR SOCKET / SCREW M6X20 Ea: ($2.0) Total: ($6.0) [44][1x] (Part: 086323961) SEALING PLUG / PLUG Ea: ($38.0) Total: ($38.0) [45][1x] (Part: N0160276) SCREW M14X1.5 DIN908 / PLUG Ea: ($3.96) Total: ($3.96) [46][1x] (Part: N0138302) washer / WASHER Ea: ($2.0) Total: ($2.0) [47][1x] (Part: N0138494) WASHER / WASHER Ea: ($4.82) Total: ($4.82) Sub total: $3407.08 Parts total: $3407.08 So it seems you could upgrade it and then save money in the future if having to do the TOB again.

Great video. They really did not make those bleed valves very accessible. How long did it take you to remove and put back the interior?

Are 086141671C and 086141671L interchangeable? Is the L version just a later revision? According to please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors it was used for 2010/SV Murcielago. It is much cheaper than the C part number which is OEM for LP640 prior to MY2010. It is the TOB used on Gallardo, so are they interchangeable or is please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors part listing wrong? https://www.please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors.com/xq/asp/webcat.yes/prid.36363/action.1/qx/product.htm https://www.please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors.com/xq/asp/webcat.yes/prid.83082/action.1/qx/product.htm Edit: This site filter's removed the links to the vendor I was linking to, but the question remains the same. Was 086141671L used on the 2010 Murci LP640 and is it interchangeable with the much more expensive part 086141671C?

I've had an accumulator fail previously and a friend of mine did also. They were unable to keep the pressure which would result in some shifts being missed causing the car to go to neutral instead of desired gear. The failure mode for these accumulators doesn't seem to be that they aren't able to store pressure at all, just that they rapidly lose it. I'm thinking my current accumulator might be on the same path but is not losing pressure as rapidly yet.

Awesome. Do you know if all SVJ Coupes will be MY2019 or could yours possibly be a MY2020? My dealer has told me December delivery for my MY2020 SVJ Roadster. I had already 95% decided on Viola Pasifae for mine without having seen it in person and then when I saw your car at Cannery Row last year it nailed it down 100%. I'm beyond excited. Can't wait to see what you decided on for your new build.

Congrats!

Awesome videos. When are you expecting delivery?

Your door is showing as open. Is it actually open or do you have a faulty switch?

That doesn't seem to match what I posted above. Note the black/grey cable. For example 08 Murci and 04-08 Gallardo are Grey Cable, while 09/10 Murci and 0-14 Gallardo are black cable and 02-07 need K-Line adapter. From which I understand has a switch that toggles between airbag and abs and should be set on airbag setting for e-gear operations.

Great content!

So that will only work on LP murcielagos? From this diagram it seems pre LP Murcis (and possibly 07 LP640?) need a K-Line adapter instead?
