    engine light at 04 Gallardo

    Hi all

    Since about 2000 km, I have regular the engine light on. The gallardo has now 18000 km, it was in the lambo shop, but the light came on again.

    Any expirience about this?, please advice, thanks

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    you mean the check engine light or the cylinder bank light? i have an 04 , and it never happened . the best way to find out is to read the fault code memory..
    welcome to the site

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    thanks for the feedback, I did this, result, the emmisions are outside of the tol. tresholds (yes it is the cylinder bank light)

    I got some wierd answers from the lambo shop, once they tell me it should be ok, then it is related to a gas filter in the fuel tank, and the newest one is a coil failure

    so before they replace all of this, let me know if some one had similiar problems

    the engien runs fine, despite the warning light

    You mean something like this?


    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    Stefan, be serious... LOL

    Back OT...

    Did you get 'EOBD engine bank (6-10) or engine bank(1-5) malfunction? This symbol lights up when faults have occured in the engine.

    Potentially problem is in faulty exhaust sensors. If you got slightly high emission reading that warning lights will go on.

    On the other hand if you got 1-5 or 6-10 Cat problem (probably 'cos of the unburnt fuel going into the cat) then I am affaraid your cats are dying and you will need new ones.
    Also it is a good idea to replace colis and coil seal covers.
    On early Gallardo's sensors are really overly sensitive to fluctuations in emissions and moisture.

    BTW, is your exhaust standard(important!) and is your car tuned in any way?

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    Kreso, thanks for your answer, once it is the 6-10 then the 1-5

    Is this a common problem, something Lambo should have fixed as a update (inside of the waranty), or just bad luck?

    The exhaust is standard, the engine is standard to

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    So, new coils and coil seal covers first. Then let them check out you cats-they could be dying as I already said.

    Your car has more then 18000km's as you said and cats on this first Gallardo'd were not as good as the one on current cars.
    I guess that you drove your car pretty hard as well...

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    will talk with lambo, and keep you posted, thks for the advice,

    Hahahah that was hilarious Rossi :

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    Ok after start up the car and the engine is warmed up, when make the rev up to 3-4k (i mean at Neutral) did you feel a pinking on steering wheel.

    Also the first treatment for check engine light is doing a electronically fix also the change the the coils and sparks.

    Probably the engine light must be gone.


    Yes it is a common problem on Gallardo especially 04s.
    But when you do software updates at workshop probably it is gone
    If you have all these process be done then they need to check it again. But check the pinking(vibration) on the steering on Neutral rev up 3-4 k and rev to back idle.

    My car is also at 18000km 04 Gallardo and has engine replaced because of engine failure.

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    cats are strong, there wasn't failures. but coil problem are morecommon

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    I will check this as well, and let you know

    what was wrong with your engine?, mechnical issues I asume?

    Re: engine light at 04 Gallardo

    I think this diagnosis might apply just as much to one of the cats in Rossi's photo as to those of the Gallardo.
