MY TWIN TURBO LAMBORGHINI DIED IN SPAIN 

So what are we guessing guys? I’m still racking my brain as the car was 100% for the miles driven to Portsmouth yet as soon as we were off the ferry it decided to die 🤷‍♀️ strange…

It’s definitely the roof box mate. Lambo’s have a cut of switch when they are made to look like a camper van 😂

Coincided with you putting the back bumper back on. Could it be a heating sensor issue with the turbo's now being covered. The sensor not liking them covered??

Matt whats the chances the boost pressure solenoids packed in. I've had a wrx sti and a diesel car that done exactly the same wrx was the boost solenoid, and thr wrx was the map sensor/boost solenoid.

Could literally be an electrical issue with the aftermarket ECU as you said. It’s probably just having a hissy fit.

Mat, from what you've told us and what we've seen in this video, my best guess would be the fuel filter with some kind of blockage, or if not that, then a faulty fuel pump. At least that was my issue a few years ago with a high performance car. Enjoy your holiday and good luck with a fix for the lambo.

Cool car bro, bummer that this had to happen to you. Enjoying your positive energy

yayyyy the bumper is on just admit it mat you gave in and it looks better

The way he said Bilbao absolutely cracked me up 😂😂

Hay Matt, has the Lambos manufacturers tracker been disconnected as they come with one fitted and it will act like it is now to prevent it being sold abroad ? Hope you get sorted 👍🏼

Who’s watching this after the news on the Gallardo?

Mat, my audi A5 had a similar issue when i took it to france. Nursed it around paris and when i got it back to the uk it was like nothing had ever happened. Turns out there was a oem factory gps on the car and you have to notify the manufacturer when making a trip overseas. Its to prevent cars being chopped and sold illegally. The tracker is located behind the glove box and spliced into the wiring harness of the car. I know you’ve got a lambo but they share the same engine and parts as audi.. maybe this is the reason as to why it’s letting u down?. Ether way i hope this helps. Best of luck

Let's sit down on the loo and watch this master peace of a vid

Best thing matt did was put a bumper on there 😊 and he always seems to have issues when he goes on holiday with the cars

Gutted for you guys, least you’ve got a sense of humour about it, enjoy your break 👏

My best guess would be the alarm system. Mine mulfuctioned 4 years ago. Did exactly the same as yours is doing now. Had an alarm system expert fix it, haven't had a problem since

With the bumper on it looks so much better, with the bumper off it looks like a job half done !

That car looks way better with the bumper on! I'm gutted for you though with the break down! I hope you can get it back on the ferry without being towed though. I would say that shouldn't be done anyway being auto?

"this lambo is a rocket ship" Aye, challenger. But this is why we do driving abroad. Because you broke down you met people, nice people, people you would have normally just flown over at 35000 feet.

I reckon the bumper being on and all them shiny pipes and bigger turbo's, coupled with Spanish temperatures are causing excess heat giving you fuelling issues.

So much better with the bumper!! I'd leave it on, and only take it off for shows etc.

I'd guess heat, fuel or electrical related - as after stopping for a while, the car starts and runs OK, until it stops again. Was it getting worse/stopping sooner each time? Plus it gets very cold in the middle of the sea, so the "damp" could be (frozen) salt water condensation. You have a bespoke car, so its not surprising it's got a few teething problems, but you can't analyze it properly without a laptop to connect it to = bet you never drive it long distance again without a laptop. I had a Hillman Imp once that would stop after a while - couldn't figure it out. Had bought it from my Dad, who said it was a fine car with no problems. It stopped on night in Bristol, so he drove down to rescue me, by which time the car was fine. I took his car, he took the Imp, and for the next few days it was fine. Then one night it stopped on him. He got it recovered home, and tried everything. As a last resort he took the carburetor apart, and found what could only be described as very smooth marbles. The Imp had a very low air intake, and we lived in the Cotswolds - so it was basically very fine Cotswold stone dust that had been sucked up by the air filter but stopped by the carb filter, that had got bigger and bigger until they stopped the fuel flow. You never forget the reason behind a difficult fault - Good Luck!

Looks so much better with the rear bumper on Matt!! 😍 PS - really hope your get to the bottom of the lambo issue

Spain without the S

From having similar issues sounds like boost sensor issue faulters when on boost causing it to cut out. Try driving it off boost

C'mon Mat, absolute schoolboy error taking the car that far without any way of talking to the ecu, you just know its going to be a pissy fault that can be sorted in an hour aswell!

You’re pronunciation of Bilbao and morale is hilarious. “Bilboooa” 🤣 and “moral” 🤦🏽‍♂️

MAF sensor issue maybe.. breaking down when hot. Or its seen you looking at that SVJ....and she is paying you back mate

The only thing I could think of if it’s running smoothly untill temperature is the rear bumper is not letting enough air get to the turbos causing it to get to hot and cut out? Or the turbos have no been installed properly. Not particularly sure tho best of luck!!

I know exactly what is wrong, itallian supercar, made by the germans, made for the uk, being driven in spain, too many countries involved and the car's passport not been stamped 🙃😂😂

Bro you have the best attitude when things go wrong, we all wish to be like you, calm and friendly. Love your channel

Such a positive attitude...polite and friendly to all...even when things go wrong....love it! We could all learn a little from this gem of a video.

Have a safe journey guys. I can’t imagine how horrific it must be like too abandon a Lamborghini like that. Sending prayers from Sweden for that lambo to get to a full recovery soon.

Team up with EVIL GT :) will be massive !!! best video ever ! they mention you so often :)

The Panda looks like its been wrapped in one of your choice colours 😁

When you guys was on the ferry, was the parking area secure? There is an outside chance some spiteful dude put something in the fuel tank?

Fuel pump . Like you said you gave it a boot an thats when it struggled. I would test pressure at fuel rail first . I'm only a DIY mechanic at best so just my opinion

If it was the bumper/ roof box it would have played up on the way to Portsmouth. It’s playing up at low cruising speed so I doubt it’s the heat in Spain. (Marginal at best) Was the car tampered with on the boat? Wrap the Vodafone tracker in aluminium foil, so it can’t pick up a signal therefore unable to pinpoint where you are. Worth a try! If nothing else, blame Brexit 🙈

Best car show ever my friend, love the happiness working on your projects, and your daddy always laughing even when everything goes south...keep it going...from a follower in west palm beach ⛱️ Florida..

Made myself a Lempsip and notification comes up! Aint I lucky. I was defo first but was more interested on the vid than commenting LOL. I know your gonna see this anyways Mat, Keep it up sick vids. Also Im not too far from Portsmouth (Southampton) :)!

The only difference is the bumper. Could there be an overheat issue? If you’ve been driving with the bumper off, could the car have calibrated itself to those temps, now it thinks there’s an issue?

Ahhh Mat mate this would have been our worst nightmare taking our B7 to Marbella. Next time you’re welcome to take it as your support vehicle bud no problem 😉 class video as always 👍🏼

Tuners never take responsability. No way it's the tracker....

My day job is trackers and alarms and the problem does sound like a tracker kicking in if it’s a cat5. If when in uk you get no problem then very high chance it was the tracker causing your problems

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbot" in German.

Recover it to the Ferry. Drive onto the Ferry. Drive off the Ferry in the UK, and recover from there? Gutted for you both. I was looking forward to watching the videos. It has to be tracker related. It was working fine all the way to the ferry. Good luck in solving this one. It will still make for an interesting video, but still wanna see that lambo getting some stick. 👍👍

Love that you’re still smiling throughout it all! The glass is always half full with you🙌🏽

It’s illegal to tow a car in Spain buddy so be warned.

12:01 I feel sorry for Matt as he actually sounded like he was going to cry

I would assume its a built in tracker from way before u owned the car and is hidden in side normally behind the glove box most cars that are performance cars have to be tracked and have built in shut off mode once out of the country even if its not being used any more the only reason I know this is I used to work in a commercial body shop and that's what I got told by the tracker man that used to come and remove them and he had tecs that said they removed the trackers but didn't and only later would find out easyist way to find out is to order a piece of kit of line and scan the car with it to see where the tracker is as most high end cars have been more than 1 built in a lambo I would assume would have 2 or maybe 3

God help whoever wins this when he raffles it off 😬

The lambo looks 10 times better with the rear bumper on and if you get rear ended your turbos will thank you. Tip, put your wheel liners back in and keep the garbage out of the engine bay and coolers... The lambo will thank you.

You guys have no luck. All the issues getting going and once you do this happens! Glad it hasn’t stopped your holiday and grats on staying semi positive. Imagine you had to cut a bunch of expletives from the cut scenes

thanks for the positive attitude I am a student for Nigeria and I really love your videos so much thanks for giving me a new hope and I also work 7hours a day have a beautiful holiday

This is a sign to get that Aventador SV 👀

Is there any rubbish in the fuel tank? I once had a motorbike that always just cut off on long straight roads, 3 months later realized there was a plastic lid in the tank that sunk and blocked the fuel line when i drove straight, cornered roads the plastic moved and let the petrol go through

Get your army to sort recovery on the other side good lucky matty

Matt attitude is the "show" love him!

Should of bought a fiat panda. I loved my rental in Spain 🤣

Even tho it didnt go as planned love the Spirit of you and hannah still cracking on and being positive hope you both enjoy your holiday

wow mat what a trip,still kept smiling tho,, but all sorted with only a cheap part,,,, think next time buy a panda modify that lol

So it didn’t like having its back bumper fitted then

THANK YOU for putting the rear bumper on!!!!! It looks 1000 times better!!!! It honestly looks like a knock off kit car without the bumper.

The problem is that you installed two turbos on a perfectly fine NA engine and rendered the Lamborghini an unreliable vehicle. Turbos are fun but there’s nothing like the performance, feel and sound of a big NA engine. Some mods are just not to be. ☮️

Surely if you are using a vpn, then the tracker won’t know either where it is or you are? Maybe Vodafone also can’t see where you are. RAC membership might have been a good idea before you left with European recovery too then, it wouldn’t cost anything to get home.

You will sort it Mat, good that you show the good, the bad and the ugly…. Real motoring! Enjoy your break 👍🏻

Next car to modify: Wide body Fiat Panda

Ánimo Mat! Ya nos contarás qué le ha pasado al Lamborghini.

shit tuning ...too much bravado and techno crap from these companies . But love the vibe of you both

Sounds like a fuelling issue when under load. That or, the perimeters are all out of wonk after fitting the turbos and hasn’t been re-programmed correctly. Ideally, you need some live data and see what’s going wrong when it goes into limp now & help narrow it down otherwise it’s purely a guessing game. Keep your chin up pal and enjoy your holiday👍🏼

Maybe the next car you must build is porsche , i think porsche better than lambo when used for long trip :D

Heat perhaps? Maybe in the UK the high pressure pump in struggling to fuel the car but colder climates the fuel will be more dense so easier to circulate. In Spain the fuel will less dense in hotter weather and perhaps harder work for the pump

battery depletion on ferry alarm going off for 24hrs while the boat was moving?

No idea but seen a couple of R8’s advertised within the trade recently that the customers have spent a fortune twin turbo-ing only to sell within a few months and they don’t want big money for them. Was tempted at one for myself, but possibly they are never right when done? I always say most modified cars are ruined. On the track days I’ve done it’s always the modified ones breaking down, and it’s always the “upgraded” parts that have failed. The standard ones go round and round all day so I’d be looking at something along the turbo work do be wrong at a guess

What a weapon 🔥🔥🔥

Some one on ferry tampered with it ? Never know but gutted for yous both 💯👊

Mat has got to have one of the most ACTIVE fan base in the world of RU-vid surely. 283k Subscribers and averages like 200k a video. That’s REALLY damn good man!

Feel sorry for ya mate 😞 just look on the bright side….. i don’t know what that is but im sure you’ll figure it 🤣

Being as you’ve thrown several suitcases of money into the project so far, can the company that did the work courier you a laptop and dongle and try to get a live link fix … I’d watch the stream! Would be a good advert for their after sales care too …. You get it fixed, they get a shoutout and you get some more views! Daft afterthought is the roof box doing any weird aero malarkey and screwing up the airflow on the induction? Thermal cutout because there’s also no airflow with the bumper on? Overeager factory tracker? Or is the car just having a holiday as well?

You should go to the Madrid outskirts. They ar efull of straights! :)

Have you checked the left falangy? Will we get the uncut version of events on Hannah’s channel as she looked far too calm in your vlog. My good lady would be tearing me a new one.

Could it not be cheaper to fly your engineer out with diagnostics gear?

Some advice - highly modified cars = temperamental and never a good option for road trips, throw in the fact that it’s a Lamborghini and you have this!

Plz get a carbon fibre steering wheel for the Lamborghini Gallardo

It's the one car you didn't "built" yourself Mat. Not reliable lol 😁

i have had similar problem it was ignition coil that did not work 🤷💪

Idk when you think its a good idea to send it when the car isnt even warm

Dude. Never go on a long road trip after a major install like a full blow twin turbo kit. Theres a million gremlins that could show up after that. Thats just basic tuner 101 stuff. Plus its a freaking turbo VAG car. Omfg. Those of the least trustworthy.

I can't see it being a tracker issue as it was fine until you gunned it in the tunnel, at a guess it's a fuel pressure issue or you've blown a pipe that you can't see

If you get stuck I own a tuning company in Portsmouth, I’m also friends with Phil at MP, car van get recovered to my Workshop mate at least it will be safe indoors and you can collect when you’re back

What a nightmare to have a special car like that break down in the middle of a vacation trip on foreign soil so far from home.

This is completely fake, you definitely lied just for an opportunity to drive a Fiat through Spain 🇪🇸

2:32 what! Driving into Spain with the airco on 25.0 celsius

Subscribed for the new Fiat content 😂

You need to scan it to know whats happening sometimes, sensor failure, heat. but today... Your Lambo is a little seasick ;)

The Bentley is Laughing ❤️‍🩹!!

The ultimate "GIRLS CAR" any lame LAMBO........😋😋😋........Bring a fire hose, you get hosed when you buy, you hose it down when your on fire later........😛😛😛

Far to much trust in Vodafone.🙄

This Panda is polish, not italian.

Odds are that it's something electrical. Look at the wiring loom. How many connections are there and how many of those are connected to something that is cheaply made and can fail? You've got relays, solenoids, fuses and all sorts of components subject to heat and vibration...all made from cheap plastic. But, if it's not electrical you've got to factor in the complexity of the power plant...engine and trans. What component in all those hundreds or thousands of parts could cause this problem? It's probably nothing major because there would be some clunking. You've also got the crank sensor which is a cheap part that can fail at any time. It will confuse the system if it isn't operating correctly. Older cars, less complex cars, don't have this. These supercars are simply loaded with parts that can and do fail all the time. Smart people know this and they avoid "supercars". That's not to say that you have to be dumb to own one. It's just a reality of life that if you do own one, expect these sorts of problems. They will never, ever, ever end. You fix one thing and ten minutes later something else breaks. They key is that if you enjoy spending your time fixing these cars and also earning a nice living to boot, why not continue to do it? Mat, you've got the temperment for this sort of thing, which is great. You are doing something you love and enjoy and we enjoy watching you. Keep the videos coming.
