My Lamborghini Gallardo Has Been Broken For Nearly 6 Months (We "Fix" It) 

your garage looks like a rappers garage from 2006

I like this Johnny guy, knows his stuff

Hoovie provides a valuable public service. Thanks to him, I've learned fitting my Prius with nitrous would be a BAD idea.

hoovie: drama free euro mechanic: climbs into engine bay feet first

Hoovie: I want a worry-free, drama-free experience. *buys used lamborghini*

"Johnny's gone into debt up to his eyeballs buying equipment and everything else" With you as a customer, he'll be financially solvent in a month.

I have always wanted a super car since a child. 41 years later Your videos have helped me realise my life will be much happier without ever owning one.

this channel should be re-named: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT 😂

Hoovie buys car. "Is the check engine light on" "Yes" "I'll take it"

I gotta give Johnny a good review. I saw him on here first and took my diesel X5 to him and he fixed it quickly and for a great price.

Johnny’s garage looks very professional. Well lit, organized, hi-tech.

Is my life moving by so quickly that Hoovie has had this for 6 months?

I like Johnny he seems like a honest and generally good guy. "I'll let the hospital know your near by" lmao

“Very slow Lamborghini...” *My Sentra left the chat

I always laugh when Hoovie says he is going to work on it as it always ends with the mechanic working on it.

Johnny is a great addition, seems like a real nice guy

You’re great man. Really enjoy your content. I thinks it’s great that you’re stuck in this niche of buying stupid cars for not great deals. Everyone can relate to owning a lemon, but you could make lemonade with all your cars. Love the different types of cars you buy. Thanks for entertaining me, keep up the fun vids.

"Why are there FOOTPRINTS on my engine!!?!?"

Glad it was something (relatively) simple. I bought the Gallardo that probably had your name on it and have been chasing a VVT fault for a month or two. You can find off-the-shelf code readers that will pull at least the numeric codes that you can then google or find in the shop manual PDF. As you say though, these cars are fairly simple and not bad at all to work on, though the service/repair procedure documentation really sucks, lol.

Hoovie's the type of guy who uses sounds of guys screaming during sped-up montages

A "ninja" and a "wizard", I think you have your bases covered for all of your automotive repair needs. I love a neat and tidy garage like Johnny's.

“Slow” So then what is my 07 Mazda 6 😂

I love the manual transmission and the color combination especially the interior. Thanks.

Stop to pump gas,pop the fuel cap open,and both tank vents are fried dead open ? I would say that you have a small vacuum leak on the fuel cap or something. Having both banks with a problem at the same time is pretty odd. Check the long term fuel trim,and short term while plugging the fuel tank manually for few seconds.Check if you have a fuse for them also.

Your cheating on the Wizard with a Ninja 😲🤣

The more of these exotic cars you buy....the more I love my 2001 6 speed Corvette.

Hoovie, why haven't you bought the cheapest BMW E39 M5 in the USA yet!?!?!?

A real Hoovie will never own a mint trouble less car

I really like this mechanic he’s a funny dude.

Last time I was this early, Hoovie had reliable cars Oh wait...

I had the same thermocouple problem on my 07 Gallardo. The problem most Gallardo owners have is with the thermocouple module located above the rear passenger side wheel well. You can easily access it by removing the wheel and wheel well cover. If you have access to the Lamborghini LDAS software you will be able to see the live CAT temperature readings that is coming from the thermocouples. You may just have a connection problem where the thermocouple wires plug into the module. Your best solution may be to just replace the thermocouples and module with the newer style part number: 0R1400030. The newer module is a sealed unit that is not exposed to the elements compared to the original module. Hope this helps.

Johnny is such a cool guy letting Hoovie use his equipment and shop, then again he keeps bringing him a ton of business. Still, he looks like such a friendly guy, always has a smile on his face, and so knowledgeable. I think this is the first time I've see Hoovie get his hands dirty and work on one of his cars.

There's a new wizard in town.

Last time I was this early there was a reliable NSX in the fleet....RIP

I used to own a Fiat X 1/9. Fix it again Tony. I was fixing that car every other month. Glad you were able to fix that wonderful car.

This Gallardo is absolutely the best car you ever bought. The early models are more sought after and the design is timeless and elegant. I love the size and simplicity, the fact you can work on it yourself makes it a winner. This is a keeper Tyler.

"illegal pipe" Hoovie bought middies in college for $35/g

The best and realest car channel on youtube... I love you Hoovie ! Keep it up man !

The temperature probe is a thermocouple , it outputs a small voltage. The tech should measure the voltage with it disconnected from the car. The voltage will be in the millivolt range. The voltage vs temperature can be determined by the type of thermocouple, as denoted by the color of the wires, referenced to a chart for that type.

Preamble: I've added some info here and there as it's come to mind, so this may be out of order. It's only a few paragraphs, though. It's always possible that a sensor had a hiccup for whatever reason. Maybe you may have driven through the rain and one of the connectors isn't quite 100% watertight. Maybe the computer just detected an error somewhere along the bus. This can happen because most modules in modern cars share the same one or two pairs of wires (high and low speed CAN send/receive usually). Or maybe the sensor needs to be screaming hot to fault out. I think you said it happened after Tavarish gave it a spin, so it could be that, too. I suggest you steal Ninja's scan tool and start logging, and go for a really hard drive to get the exhaust nice and hot. These can be annoying issues to track down, but because it's a stored code, it will either go away after a number of engine cycles (40? On Australian GM it's 40 engine cycles (starts and runs)), or until you just clear it. However I believe if it is an emissions code, it may or may not go away. EGT (exhaust gas temperature) will be an emissions code. If you'd have cleared the code it may have sorted it. If it comes back, then you really need that super duper awesome scan tool to come for a drive and start logging things, because that's the only way you're ever going to find the issue, not unless you just throw parts at it and hope it goes away. Also, modern aftermarket scan tools are getting pretty damn good. In addition to OBD and CAN bus, they'll pick up all the weird pre/non-OBD II protocols like ALDL (GM), FlexRay, MOST, Byteflight (all Euro), LIN, etc. I think Bosch have a couple of their own protocols for things like SRS and ABS, but you get the idea. This is why you need a pro level tool to clear airbag codes, because it may be an OBD or CAN code for readability, but the module doesn't actually speak it. At least I think this is how it works. I'm a dum dum so I'm not entirely sure. There's actually quite a few different automotive comms buses, and modern scan tools can deal with most of them. Hope this helps. I'm not a qualified mechanic, just a shadetree guy who can't afford to see a real mechanic, plus I have a mild electronics background, so, I'm always learning, not that I know much at this point.

I've been driving my Chevrolet trailblazer with the check engine light on for 5 years now. It drives just fine .

Can we please make his nickname Johnny "The Ninja"

Should have done Tarvish's recommendation while those covers were off. Don't need a fire in the engine bay. And, non-stock exhaust is messing with the temp sensors.

My 08' Spyder did the same thing and Lamborghini of Dubai changed the Plugs and Fuel Filter, and has been running like a champ ever since.

10:01 WTF was that! lol! I don't know why this made me laugh so hard. I had to rewind it at least 8 times.

Hoovie: “I’m gonna make these fixes by myself.” Johnny does most all of the work. HOOVIE FAIL.

Johnny's face at 7:15 is priceless. He knows exactly what hoovies gonna do with that probe.

7:14 Did he say; "Johnny was kind enough to let me use his facility to put this temperature probe in myself."

That temperature probe literally looks like the one I replaced in my mom's Kenmore stove. No joke.

Did you end up replacing the fuel parts that can leak?

"The warm glow of the check engine light ..." 😂 2:15

Don't feel too bad Hoovie, I had to do a vent valve on my G8 this summer and it sucked- tucked between the subframe, the body, a rock, and a hard place.

9:25 he needs Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible harness to hang from the ceiling to work on that car.

'So, I'm going to put this temperature probe in myself, and if that doesn't work, we'll put it in the car..'

Charcoal canister evaporate values. Look at EGT temp on the scan tool to decide which one is acting up

Almost nothing is as fun to drive as a 1980s 911. Not very fast but feels fast and it is tossable like a go-kart. Sounds great as well and if you put a few hundred bucks into an exhaust you are set. Pretty darn reliable as well.

The irony being the McLaren you CAN read codes, with any OBD2 scanner, even your phone.

I like Johnny but will always love the Wizard.

Johnny is smart. He bought a work cart from Harbor Freight. When money is low, so is Harbor Freight. Probably comes from the same manufacturer as Snap On.

Many tmes, it is a wiring issue for those tank vent valves, and for the exhaust gas sensors (egt), carbon builds up on the port that the gases travel thru. There are 4, and the error is that there is a difference in temperature between the 4 sensors. Taking the sensor out, and cleaning it with brake cleaner fixes the problem

That temp probe looks like an oven thermostat.

7:40 I feel like a proud dad whenever I see hoovie working on his cars himself. They grow up so fast ;_;

Everything about Johnny is professional, down to the cart with the selection of different electric impact wrenches. This is a clearly a man who's equipped to take on the hard cases.

I remember when I heard the V10 engine the first time. It was in 2001 or 2002 when I was working in the R&D area of VW Wolfsburg. At that time Hall 72A was build. While we were working late the Lambo left the hall, went down the ramp straight to the test track. The sound was amazing! Almost 20 years later I still love to work in the automotive industry. You see the cars that will hit the market months before they do :) Sadly there are rumors that Audi wants to get rid of Lamborghini :(

I love how he has all those "high end" luxury cars and what have you and then you have the little miata happy as shit up there :)

I love Johnny. I love the CarWizard more. But god damnit, I love Johnny.

Mechanic work almost never goes as planned, especially the first time doing a repair or replacement. I mostly avoid it by buying cars with 10 to 50 thousand miles, then selling them with about 95 thousand miles. The April issue of Consumer Reports magazine at a library helps pick more reliable vehicles. For older vehicles, the Carsthatlast series on RU-vid is helpful.

You gotta show Johnny some love and help get his moniker, logo, and RU-vid channel started up. So we can watch him and the Wizard

8:55 , now u can use the probe

car: check engine light american: I’ll just drive it till the service car: breaks american: these things are so unreliable!

This thing is a far better investment, not only is it more reliable than that mclaren. This manual low milage example will appreciate far more.

It's always fun to watch you "work" on your cars.

I love how your gauge cluster looks almost like my Jetta’s

The last time I was this early the 355 was still smoldering.

The heat sensor looks like a thermocouple, which produces a small current when heated. So a cold ohm test could reveal a short but you have to bake them while hooked to a voltmeter to see if they work. Even then you can’t tell if they are “accurate” except comparing them to the new one...

" spooning my engine now".... funniest thing I've heard all day

Dear Tyler Hoover, Im gonna need an explanation for the sound at 10:00 Sincerely, everyone who noticed the sound.

Buy a cheap vw phaeton or a cheap a8 and compare it to the 7 series

Hoovie; individually supporting the entire Wichita automotive repair economy. This man creates jobs! Tyler for president? 😂

I like that you tried and had the experience mechanic next to you . You tried got your hands DIRTY at least .

Hoovie - “I wanted a car for myself” 😂

Mechanics love it when you work on your own car

Thanks for making all of us feel better about the shitty cars we bought in the past.

If I saw Freddy at a car show, I’d immediately start talking about the cyber truck just to run him off, it’s funny to see the contrast in maturity between your channel and his, Freddy literally cannot admit when he’s wrong, and then tries sell his mistakes as successes. Keep it up Hoovie, giving these professionals an outlet is one of the many things I like about your channel. 👍

Q: What is the most dangerous thing in aviation? A: A pilot with a wrench in his hand.....

You should keep giving that mechanic promotion

Johnny is da bomb! Got myself a Lancia Phedra 3.0 V6 as a hobby but it needs a new exhaust....Johnny you sounds like the guy that can fix the French/Italian prob....

I like the new mechanic! You should feature him more often

"He's letting me use his facilities to do this job..." Yeah, not to mention his expertise, overseeing, hand holding, and wrenching skills also... Then again, you do claim to be the worst mechanic ever, so you're good Tyler ❤

Can someone get my guy a replacement for that rug

Pay the Johnny guy for taking up his time even though you replaced the part. Such a nice guy 👌🏻

It’s hilarious you said that about the Saturn Vue. My 2004 Saturn Vue has had the check engine light on for MONTHS and I’ve been driving it all along LOL.

10:00 what in the world 😂😂💀

Hoover asking for drama free experience... haha, I think you’re finally learning, except we still know nothing you buy will be drama free 😆 Edit: goddd I’m early!

Hoovies Garage, the channel that taught me to despise "super" cars and love mid-priced practical vehicles. And land yachts. Still have a warm glow about land yachts.

Plug in the scanner at Johnny’s, unplug the exhaust temp sensors one by on until you don’t get a new code or you get a code showing the same bank or position and you’ll know which is your issue. Then reset it.

VW life, check engine lights on it's ok. That's normal..Lol

Now you know of the Car Wizard and the Auto Ninja.

Omega makes all kinds of temperature sensors for lab equipment, not just for Lambo, and you can usually tell by the colors of the wires what kind they are; red and white is J thermocouple, yellow and red is K type thermocouple, blue and red is T, etc. Checking ohms will tell you nothing about them because they PRODUCE voltage. How much they make depends on type and temperature, but it's usually around 200ish millivolts for K at a couple hundred degrees. I think... there's charts online for that.

I just want people to notice how different this garage is from the wizzards garage, looks so clean and professional and most cars seem they have been finished working on them
