Murci CEL and Cat warning
Discussion
Evening
On the way to mot it didn't sound great, possible misfire.
Mot tester said left bank was fine emissions on the right bank was jumping around and was difficult to get a steady reading.
It still passed.
Driving home once over 4000 revs it sound better less lumpy, but the right bank cel came on followed by the right cat. Limped back to garage.
The right cat was glowing (under its metal cover).
Let it cool for 30mins and limped home without a problem, it felt rough but no cels.
Car is a "2003 coupe update".
Will it accept obd ?
Sevenoaks is nearest dealer -10 miles.
Sensors ?
Coils ?
Cat itself
Neither sound cheap ....:
Will also post on lambo power
Thanks

Evening,
No codes !
The scanner seemed to connect ok, I went through all the menu options and it looked to be connected.
No stored
No pending
Which I presume makes sense as there are no cel lights on.
What is the next step?
Run the car just at idle to allow any codes to be generated ?
Aldous - I see you have now moved to Kent, you don't happen to commute past junction 2 or 3 of the M25.....
Thanks

Gentlemen,
Whilst you are of course correct, getting it collected and taken to Sevenoaks is the most sensible, infact the only real option, but where is the fun in that.....
I have found the non working coil, swapping it from one cylinder to another and burning the end of my finger proved is was only this one.
Reid Performance in the US sell an "improved" set for $1200 plus postage and import taxes. Sevenoaks will offer a modest discount to assist, so hopefully £1,000 inc Vat.
Buying from Lamborghini gives me 11 identical spares.
Despite much searching I can not find the same coils being used on any other car. Unless somebody has done a conversion to the 4 pin later Audi coils these are the only options we have I am afraid.
The 3 pins coils are expensive but the wiring loom is cheap, the 4 pin coils are cheap but the wiring loom is expensive !

Morning,
I have been in contact with him.
The rate of exchange makes him slightly more expensive than buying from Lamborghini, and I was unsure whether they mix and match ?
Either Lamborghini UK have reduced their price recently or they pay an excessive Tax in the US, he suggested they are $3000 in the US !

Evening,
All fixed.
Picked up 12 new coils yesterday from Sevenoaks.
As you can imagine they are different, these are Champion branded with LAMBORGHIN written on them - code bae 720b.
The three pin head is rotated upside down, to get the connectors to fit you have to turn themselves upside down. This is twisting 15 year old Italian wires!!!! I didn't like that.
Ran it a couple of junctions on the A2, sounded much better no misfire. Stopped at bluewater to check the exhaust system nothing was glowing.
Job well done !
Sevenoaks had a gallardo with no interior- failed condenser a lot has to come out to get to it !!
