    Lotus of DC

    Here's an update on my damaged console finisher. Anton said it would take ~2 weeks to get it. So I waited two weeks and then started asking him (by text) if it had arrived. No reply. I have tried for the past week, no reply. Today I called VW service and learned that Anton has moved...

    Lotus of DC

    At 4000 miles and 15 months in, my Emira has been remarkably trouble free. I went to Lotus of DC one time to get the AC resistor pack rain shield installed. No problem there. I also asked them to investigate the clicking sound when the clutch is depressed. Miguel said he tried to record the...

    How to change the mirror caps/covers?

    I want to replace my mirror caps and I'm wondering if anyone has done it. GRP says it is a 10 minute job, but they have not posted any instructions. The Emira Service Manual, p. 17-43 says to remove the mirror glass and rear cover. Then the upper cover can be removed. I'm reluctant to remove...

    Dash Design

    I take your point that it is a clean and sparse display. But I like round gauges and I would love an option for them on the Emira. I think there is a lot of unused space in the display. Today while driving my Emira I noted three areas with the + and nothing displayed. That space could be...

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    Since my Emira is indoors for the winter and I live 150 miles from the dealership, I decided to make my own rubber air con resistor pack water shield. I bought a 36" x 36" rubber sheet (1/16" thick). I made a template using the photo in post #314. Here's a pdf if you want to use it. You will...

    Low dust brake pad options

    It’s curious that the link you posted says the same pads fit front and rear. They are obviously not the same with 6 piston calipers in front and 4 piston calipers in back. I hope these work out. When I bought the Redstuff’s I looked for the Hawk PCs but I could not find a match. The Redstuff...

    Shift Knob Replacement

    Yes so far. I just screw it on until it’s snug. I’ve only been able to drive it once since I made it. It might need some Loctite in the future.

    Shift Knob Replacement

    I have some 2" wood balls left from another project. After living with the stock metal knob, its rough edges and hot/cold, I decided to try to make my own. I have a black Alcantara/red stitch interior, so I made a red stain for the shift knob. The threaded insert came from a kit that includes...

    North American Emira Problem Thread

    Issue - clutch pedal clicks on release. Not a big deal, really just an annoyance. I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue. If yes, did you find a fix. I've been under the dash, but I didn't see anything obvious. Build date - January 2024 Delivery date - May 2024 Miles - 1500 mi...
