awesome detailed useful information, look forward to the TCU clutch calibration video !! great content.
Whew glad I have a LP Gallardo..... thanks very good information as I was wondering which scanner to buy. Also eager for the next vid for scanner codes... thanks
Right on PilotGirl. And yes you are very lucky with your LP! Hopefully it inspires you to do a clutch change on your Gallardo and skip the dealer hahaha.
Excellent bro
Super useful video man great job!
Glad you liked it Juan. When its time for you to pick up a Gallardo it will be a big thing to determine if you want a Pre LP or a LP!
@@TheBullRider yeah for sure man!!
Nice topic, thanks for sharing!
Right on Samuel. Glad you liked it. Hope it gave you some info that is helpful.
Awesome informative video cheers mate
Glad to hear it John! Hope it helped clarify some things for you!
I used a cheap OBD2 reader called Carista and it works wonders with the R8 with all the modules and someone told me it works very well with the newest Lambos.
Inacio, I see that on their website. Looks like it works on the mk1 from 2010 and up. Can you perform adaptations on the control modules?
I have a similar system called OBDeleven that is subscription-based like Carista in a way. My main problem with OBDeleven or other pay-to-play systems is that when I was in the middle of the desert with my VW Touareg towing my B5 S4, my car broke down and I NEEDED it but I couldn't use it because the app didn't have a cellular connection. That's a big no go in my book and why I can't recommend it anymore.
Love vcds! Its great for my vw gli and r8.
Yes exactly Gli, it has saved me so many times on so many cars!! I am sure you can relate.
Great info...thank you
Right on Deuce. Glad you liked it. Something to consider if you have to decide between a LP and Pre LP!!
Great job on the video, also thanks on the heads up to have an OBD handy, I was wondering what reader would work with the bull.
Jacob, glad you liked it! And yes the most basic scanner bare-bones, non-specific scanner is the best to have.
Thanks Richard! Texa is surely new to me! Very interesting stuff! Looking forward to see it in action hopefully sometimes in the future! Maybe they can sponsor you or something 😜
Brian, it might be a good possibility. TEXA is super cool and I want that package BAD! It can scan everything from semi trucks to Bugattis and even bikes and boats.
@@TheBullRider if they can do a special light edition for all those “home user” it would be beautiful! There is a big market. Kind of like Windows for home user vs commercial user. 😜
@@briankwan542 I was on the phone with Texa to do research for this video and that's exactly what I asked them. Is 4k too much for a barebones edition where you need your own laptop?
@@TheBullRider yeah seems a bit pricey. Maybe they can charge on a per car or per feature basis or something. Really depends on their pricing model and estimated potential customers. If they start from under a $1,000 (Macbook price) would be a lot more attractive. Or even start cheap to become the goto software for home user😅 Professional software like final cut pro and logic are selling for a lot less, but of course its a different industry.
@@briankwan542 Yeah I think your right, they are really aiming towards the Pro users with a shop as opposed to the more home users. And 1000$ would be a no brainer for sure if you could maybe only work on 2-3 car vin numbers or something.
Vcds also communicates with obd1.
It's an amazing piece of software.
It is Andreas. I would be SOL on so many occasions without it! I am sure you can relate.
I was surprised to see my ebay listing in your video :)
You can also rent the LaRA if you'd like.
Sanjay, it looks like a good piece of kit! No doubt about that. Good luck with your sale, there is a high demand for LaRA and I know you will sell that bad boy soon.
@@TheBullRider Thanks Richard. I am actually just renting it out to shops or DIY enthusiasts but ebay doesn't allow those types of listings. It has to have a buy-it-now price so I set it prohibitively high but who knows what some people are willing to pay. A mechanic offered me $15k a few months ago but I am keeping it as I am keeping my 07 Gallardo.
@@SanjaySchulz Yeah hold on to it for sure! I saw your prices on that listing, that's a good deal for what you get.
Right on for having a 07 G, always nice to meet other Gallardo owners too!
Great info. Will you be showing us the clutch adaptation at some point? Do you need to do that each time you split the engine and gearbox apart or is it not that critical for that job?
Dalamar, you brought up an excellent question! I'm going to say no you don't because the adaptation parameters that are stored in the transmission control unit are exactly the same no matter how many times you split the engine and gearbox. If you use the same old clutch as I did with 60% left, then the TCU still knows where the point of initial slip is for that clutch in its service life.
When I put my transmission back in, I didn't even have to bleed the clutch slave cylinder because of a special check valve on the slave cylinder hydraulic line.
I will be showing you clutch adaptation on the Pre LP, a bit on the fence about buying Texa but I will let you know when I do.
If I can get my hands on a LP or a R8, I will show it to you with VCDS AND Texa!
I love the videos as always! Keep them coming! Question, the original owner of my SL bought it from Lambo Paramus NJ. It was then taken to Canada. So its a USA spec SL with MPH on the speedo. The owner had the A/C and outside temp changed to Celsius. I've been trying to find a way to change it back to F without having to see the dealership. Do you know if any of these area an option?
Cliff, I tried to find this out for you by digging in the D3 A8 forums that share the same climatronic unit but I came up with nothing. We used to be able to do this on old audis by clicking the recirculation button and the + button but it didn't work. I bet you Texa could do it and VCDS. The problem with VCDS is I bet we could figure out a way to connect it to the dash but finding the access parameters to make changes would be the hard part. When I buy Texa, we can switch it next time I'm in SoCal. Then you will owe me a beer!
@@TheBullRider I appreciate you trying brother!!
hello friend can you help me to program the gearbox after changing new clutch?
Hi Edy, I wish I could but I need to buy myself a TEXA system first! Call around to independent shops in your area or the Lamborghini dealership. If they have the correct software, they can reprogram your TCU with the new clutch for only an hour or so of shop time.
Great info. I have an Actron for my other vehicles. I think it reads codes on the #cheddarwedge, but can't do anything about them. 😢
Patrick, that's interesting. My cheapo scanner can clear codes unless they are certain kinds of codes. But I'm making a video on codes, how to clear them and what to do if they are pesky and stick around where you cant clear them.
@@TheBullRider Like AIRBAG for example
@@PatrickMichael2002 Oh, I thought you meant on engine control unit, not any other control modules.
I have OBDeleven I use on all my audis/volks. It says it can communicate with Lambo, idk how in depth. Just wondering if you heard of it?
J Z, I have OBDeleven. It doesnt connect to my Pre LP but it would likely connect to a LP Gallardo and provide similar functionality to VCDS. I would need a LP to see what it does to confirm though.
My main problem with OBDeleven is that when I was in the middle of the desert with my VW Touareg towing my B5 S4, my car broke down and I NEEDED it but I couldn't use it because the app didn't have a cellular connection. That's a big no go in my book and why I cant recommend it anymore.
I’m
Here because I have VCDS, ODIS, ThinkDiag
I’ve worked on LP and onwards
The left hand drive 2004 Gallardo I tried today, none of the above worked
VCDS recognised the modules but no proper communication or dtc clearing
VCDS generic didn’t work
ODIS didn’t really work at all
ThinkDiag for the first time didn’t work
I do have a generic plug Vgate and ELM so I’ll try that with a generic app
Burgattti, that sounds about right. Your best bet is the most generic OBDII interface you can find. VCDS in OBDII mode might work
@@TheBullRider yh I got an old OBD thing somewhere, if not, I read that swapping some pins on the OBD lead will make it work decently well with VCDS
Nice. Glad your research led you in the same direction that mine did, TEXA. Then again, couldn't you put that money toward an MT-swap? If memory serves me right you only need the adaptation software with the e-gear, right?
Tanel, TEXA is the way to go. I couldn't see myself owning this car with a 6 speed. I am an e gear guy 1000% of the way.
And yes you only need the adaption software with an e gear car. With a 6mt car, you don't need anything like that but you still might need a way to connect to the ABS, air bags, door control modules etc.
If you do a 6mt swap you still need a way to reprogram the control modules too!
@@TheBullRider Now that you've done 10+ iterations of your flappy paddles, it wouldn't make sense to have all that work go to waste! ;-D
There was one youtuber (edit: seen through glass) who drove both the MT and e-gear SL. If I recall correctly he liked the MT but thought the e-gear suited the character of the car better, being nearly violent with the shifts. I guess it makes sense, it's a car meant for spirited driving, and in that setting the e-gear works well (I'm told).
@@tanelrebane Yeah I saw that Seen through glass video. It was a well done review. Both are wonderful cars and both have their merits.
Its not because of that painstaking PITA on the paddles at all! To me and to seen through glass, the E gear complements these cars so well. I love how shifting up from second to third upsets the cars around a turn because it actually decouples the transmission from the engine. Its a raging bull man and what you expect.
Everyone complains about the e gear in the Gallardo and Aventador but honestly, its what gives these cars so much character and soul. Huracan is boring. I want whiplash.
Just watch, in a few years everyone will be talking about how great E gear cars used to be and how boring the new cars are etc. etc. etc.
@@TheBullRider It will be real interesting to see how e-gear ages. I think you're right that the e-gear will come back into the limelight.
@@tanelrebane I saw an E gear Spyder with 1500 miles auction for 350k ish here in my neck of the woods. Very interesting to say the least.
Will ODIS work with pre LP?
Muckman, no it will not unfortunately. Only basic OBDII functionality will work.
Have you looked up Obdeleven devices?
I asked the same thing. I love it on my audis/volks. A lot of user friendly tools you can use.
Hiema, I have OBDeleven. It doesn't connect to my Pre LP but it would likely connect to a LP Gallardo and provide similar functionality to VCDS. I would need a LP to see what it does to confirm though. On my Audis and VW, it works well enough and sometimes communicates to tricky control modules that VCDS sometimes won't communicate with.
My main problem with OBDeleven is that when I was in the middle of the desert with my VW Touareg towing my B5 S4, my car broke down and I NEEDED it but I couldn't use it because the app didn't have a cellular connection. That's a big no go in my book and why I can't recommend it anymore.
@@TheBullRider yeah, the network connection is sometimes a problem on the old gen1 devices, I haven't tried a gen2 yet but I'm sure those bugs got sorted, is the cars you had problems with connecting with all pre '96 models borderline obd1 cars?
@@hiemabedrog No its a 05 VW Touareg. Connects fine with cellular connection but once I'm out of range of the cell towers, the app doesn't let me do anything. You can simulate this in airplane mode on your phone.
Gallardo 2006 Is it possible to diagnose with VCDS?
Tsubas, sorry no! It wont work. You will need TEXA!
@@TheBullRider
This one has a Gallardo SE
I look forward to working with you.
Is it possible to replace the clutch without a diagnosis machine?
Is it possible to remove the air from the E gear without using a diagnostic machine?
@@12345tsubasa If your car is an egear, then it isnt possible to replace the clutch without the proper diagnosis machine such as TEXA or LaRa.
In terms of removing the air, it is possible to remove it without a diagnostic system but I would highly reccomend it.
