not happy jan

can you imagine spending $600,000 and receiving this notice

this was on the lambo website :evil:

Murcielago Recall / Campaign information

Campaign number 02 v 082 - April 2002

Date: 3/29/02

Vehicle: 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago - Steering Shaft Coupling Clearance

-----------------------------------------

Automobili Lamborghini S.P.A. has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in early production 2002 Murcielago models.

The lower steering column shaft coupling could seperate from the input shaft of the lower steering rack assembly becasue the steering coupler was not properly inserted onto the steering rack input shaft. This could cause the driver to lose the ability to control the vehicle resulting in a crash and possible occupant injury.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER HAS DONE THE INSPECTION.

DO NOT DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS CAMPAIGN DONE, HAVE IT TOWED FOR SAFETY.

Vehicles affected

Lamborghini Murcielago, model year 2002

VIN: ZA9BC10U72LA12049 to ZA9BC10U92LA12104

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
