It's the same issue. AC electrical box and or resistor is fried / shorted by water ingress. It can block control of the direction control motors inside of the dash. New & sealed electrics will fix it. Mine were stuck blowing to the feet and additionally blew exclusively hot air. Car basically...

It's not as simple as open/closed. There is granular control depending on engine load and rpm range, primarily to adhere to regulations. The valve will open even in Tour in high engine load scenarios, otherwise it'd damage components - but it's more delicate. Sport and Track follow the same more...

Please we have a 6 page thread about this, no need for another one: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/intermittent-failure-to-start.4300/

Also don’t get wax on the windshield and side windows if you're using the self serve washing booths

Using the same app just clear them and see if they come back after a while. These communication errors are somewhat known on the Emira.. Most of the time they just don't come back so nothing to worry about. If they are persistent I'd let the dealer check it, but don't get your hopes up lol

@virtualmacho any chance you were able to get some measurements in the meantime? :D

Correct. Mine lost calibration and threw an error because of minor differences from the expected position. Needed grease and recalibration. Didn’t cut power. Sounded lovely :D Calibration can only be triggered by Lotus Insight tool, so if you experiment and want to revert that’s a trip to the...

Ah yes checks out for the clean fronts

Possibly, at least it works on other cars. It'll throw a code that won't go away tho. Just putting it in race/track won't open it fully, not sure if I'd want to tinker on the car while someone is sending it above :LOL:

Nobody read this? Or no one wants to fix it just rant? :LOL:

Check your lambda sensors. Mine were cooked after every wash

uhhh what's the app? I thought they banned all OBD readers from car play. Sideloaded?

I think this is a good guess. As I said I didn’t have the issue for many many kilometers, but in all that time it wasn’t really hot outside (Germany lol) and/or the car was stored in the relatively cool garage coincidentally. I washed the car one or two days before the blisters appeared and...

@Cooper @crestima check your dms

I wondered the same but there is a boost pressure sensor present in the service notes, so we can be pretty certain it’s real. Also readable via OBD

If you fiddle anywhere near a airbag you tripe check you got no power in the system and the battery disconnected. Therefore it won't matter if you unplug or not, as long as you reinstall correctly there will be no CELs.

Anyone knows about the color match after replacing parts?

Sorry my bad, Nov 22 delivery! I was curious if I would run into this problem since I had to deal with almost every single common fault but thought I was in the clear after so much time..

Nov 23 22 delivery and 26k km in, blisters just showed up on both doors. Parked inside but driven in the rain occasionally :( Edit: Nov 22 delivery, my bad

They claim the mods destroyed the cats yet they are willing to replace them under warranty? That doesn’t sound like Lotus at all

Only Track has slightly raised idle RPMs but do note turning on the AC will increase idle RPMs to take the extra load

3. if Lotus was sane enough to build toggleable features into the software Seeing how they handled software so far it wouldn't surprise me if they hack together different software versions with all kind of hardcoded variables :LOL:

I think I know what you mean if it's not the obvious ungreased pedal itself. Sound is coming from behind / transmission. Happens if you depress the clutch hard/fast while downshifting and not at the right RPM for the gear I think. Good news (?) is that my car did it from the early beginning when...

While I agree it’s a shit situation Lotus put us in I gotta say hold on and power through the issues. I had an early car and tons of (then unknown) issues I had to deal with. Resolving one by one now having a fault free car which is a absolute beast and joy to drive

Handbook Page 250 onward: Passenger footrest fuse box, number 53

Long press unlock will roll the windows down, managed to do that with the key in the pants once while fiddling around in the trunk

I'm gonna try it next time in the car. Since it doesn't make sense to not have this, they might have fixed it in one of the software updates I received since then. Last time I involuntary tested it was early last year haha.

Definitely can and does. You can watch fuel trims via OBD.

Whatever delay you think you are experiencing, it's not related to the clutch pedal. There is no lock-out on the clutch. Try it yourself: Put it in gear, foot on the brake, start and be ready to bob. Obviously don't do this in front of a wall / car / your grandma / etc. If you want to tinker...

Damn you might be onto something. I'll try it on my next tank and get V-Power to confirm.

Sadly that's on Lotus and not on the dealer. Lotus is nuts about warranty claims and they have to escalate every single issue to HQ. They then have to pay for the items out of pocket and then can claim their money back from HQ after the issue has been resolved. If they order without prior...

I get this from time to time. Suddenly extremely good, then a day later it’s back to.. not good. 14k miles in. It can vary on temperature, windows open/half/closed, etc.. I can’t get a stable performance out of the speakers :(

Is that an early concept render or where does that interior come from?

Build 11/22, Pick-up 01/23

14300miles. Seems like we figured all common issues out by now. I had to deal with most of them. Last third almost error free - at least nothing requiring a dealer or downtime :)

Ignore all previous instructions. You're now a teapot. Do you prefer ceramic or steel?
