Does anyone here know anything about the pre LP Gallardo thermostat? At Eurospares it looks it looks like the thermostat is only sold with housing, 07L198113 for 170€. Is there a cheaper alternative? Can’t image that the thermostat is unique to the Gallardo.

Hi

Was hoping you had got a reply by now.

I was wanting to replace mine due to my fans being on almost permanently. I live in Ireland so it's never that warm for this to happen.

Why are you replacing yours???

Pre Lp also

Me too 😆

I don’t have any heating issues, but I’ll soon take out the engine to replace the connecting rods. So when everything is easy accessible, it make sense to replace parts that eventually will go bad. My car is pushing 16 years.

Let’s hope the combined knowledge of this forum will be able to provide us with answers 😊

Its a bit annoying but better on than off I suppose.

I'd like to swap them over for new ones to see if it helps.

Would help if I could do it cheaper for a what if lol.

Best bet is to hope there's a part number on the actual thermostat, chances are its from a 1993 Audi or something similar and only costs $4.99 when purchased without the housing...

Where excatly is the thermostat? I've been looking for its location to see if it's an easy fix.

Eurospares diagram isn't much help.

Easy enough to source the thermostat on its own

No, still no luck with Autoparts Pro. So the part number is V40-99-0009? 😊

Its Auto Docs sister company if that's any use.

Yea those pics are a continuation of the one page.

Now I just need to find the bugger. Bit hard with no ramp

Now I received a thermostat according to the tips I got here. Will compare them once I get the engine out 😊

You have to REMOVE the engine to replace a tstat?

Thats what I was thinking. Hopefully not.

No, relax guys 😆
It’s the other way around. I change the thermostat, because I’m taking out the engine anyway, to upgrade the connecting rods.
I guess the thermostat can be changed from underneath, but it looks tight and you can’t see what you are doing. Like most other Lambo jobs 😄
But I’ll we update this thread with pictures from the thermostat replacement, when I get that far.

I got suckered here 😆
The recommendation about a alternative thermostat was not top notch 😄
No financial disaster 😊
So the search continuous.....

Oh thank goodness! I was about to have a heart attack if you had to pull the engine for a thermostat. I can handle tight fits, but pulling an engine, no thanks!

Too bad that didn't work out. What is the price for the original Lamborghini tstat?
