So I want to say that this is 100% a software issue. I have had this issue on and off for 2 years now since I took delivery of my Emira in May 2023. I am happy to say that Lotus seems to have finally solved this for the latest release. I caveat this by saying that the dealership said that Lotus...

So ended up talking to the dealership about it. They said the issue is under the shifter in the interior and thet they will have to take the entire center console apart to address it. Lot of work. So I said I’d wait till my big service for them to do it all at once. Meanwhile, I’ll live with it.

Does anyone have an update on this or has been able to fix it?

There you go. Probably a bit more bronze under the sun.

I think one should keep in mind that Aerie wheels are made to order (I don’t believe they keep any in stock) given that everyone orders different colors, styles, etc. I hope everyone can continue to support these small businesses who make very specific parts for very niche cars. The more...

I’ve ordered 2 sets of wheels from them. Production time each time was about 4-6 weeks before delivery. I would set the expectation that delivery times may vary with where you are based as Jason is based out of Asia. Shipping larger and heavier items can really vary in time based on where you...

Out of curiosity, has anyone with an i4 had this issue? Or is this unique to V6 models?

While I agree that it is likely an ECU issue, more specifically an emissions tuning by Lotus resulting in different fuel tolerances, I think that many (including myself) have found changing the fuel used has helped in resolving the issue. I have raised this issue to Lotus multiple times over...

Told my dealer and all they will do is raise it with Lotus HQ and hope for a resolution/fix/recall.

So purely my opinion here, but I think it depends on 1) what type of carbon pattern you get (weave or forged) and 2) which parts of the car. So I think normal weave matches better with more black parts but forged feels like it needs more. Also under the sun, the difference between black and...

Mine’s a wing cause it makes me fly. Yours can be a spoiler.

Some pics on fitment:

Finally got my Aerie Performance rear duck tail wing in glossy forged carbon installed. Beautiful finish and fitment.

So I hope I can finally put this issue to bed (sort of): the cold start issue seems to have to do with the fuel you put in your car. Due to having to pass EURO 6.5 emissions standards, it seems Lotus has tuned the ECU with very low tolerance to additives in the fuel. Fuels high in ethanol...

Do any wheel manufacturers cover damage to your vehicle in any circumstances?

Finally got around to installing mine. My V2s in custom deep bronze.

I've had my Emira for just over a year now and this problem came very early on. Mine happens when I acclerate in any gear, but worse in 5th & 6th. I have had no fix on it yet. The local dealer here has no idea but has had several cars report this.

There is no manual reset for the TPMS. It is supposed to auto-read and adjust/reset the existing programmed sensors. I previously had some TPMS sensor issues (including the warning light which was unable to turn off on its own) and the dealer had to clear the code. I also asked about new...

Did you have the dealership program the new sensors?

Moving the TPMS sensors to the new wheels. I'm even moving the tires given they only have 2000kms on them. I think only the dealer can program new TPMS sensors.

Got mine this weekend. Custom colored in Volk Racing Bronze. Unfortunately, won’t get around to installing them this week, but the finish quality and paint at first glance is excellent! And they are amazingly light. I weighed both front and rear and they are remarkably light! Front: 20x8.5...

Herringbone gloss for me pls. Updated: Group buy #2: 1. bif (herringbone/gloss) 2. Tony g (herringbone/gloss) 3. scarzie (herringbone/gloss) 4. Peeltone (herringbone/gloss) 5. GlynV6 (twill/matte) 6. Hapkin (twill/gloss) 7. LIQUIX (gloss/herringbone) 8. Nick in Sydney (twill/matte) 9. Ben...

That's great news! I'm wondering what sensor he is referring to though. From my experience with this engine, I can only think of the MAF sensor that would affect air/fuel ratio. We only have 98 RON in our city, and I also fill up w/ Shell V-Power. Perhaps, I will try another brand next time.

I feel you. I have gone back and forth to the dealership 3 times for this issue. The stalling has actually gotten worse over time. The other day, it took 3 starts to get it up and running (stalled twice) as I hadn't driven the Emira for a week. We all need to really press Lotus on this issue...

Thanks for all the info. I would greatly appreciate it if you could get the details when you pick up your car and share it here. My dealer here has been rather unhelpful in resolving this issue and has been stalling me on it. Would be helpful if I could just tell them what to replace.

I ruled this out a long time ago. Wet or dry the car does this. I don’t jet wash my car anyways since it has PPF.

Do you have an obd 2 reader? Normally a CEL would trigger a code. Curious to see what codes it is throwing.

Firstly, thank you for your post and update on this issue. Did Lotus come back as to which “module” they were referring to that needed replacing?

You will find your cold start stalling will worsen over time, so perhaps at some point you may join the few who have tried to get Lotus to fix it. On that note: I had forgotten about the whole Denso fuel pump recall until I saw this today: On November 2, Toyota Motor Corp. (TYO:7203) and...

My guess is that Lotus doesn't want to issue or pay for a recall for a bunch of fuel pumps given how much work is involved in replacing this. They are trying to sweep this issue under the rug. Can you get a refund/replacement from Lotus? I heard the UK has a policy for that and that some folks...

Great! No one seems to care enough to hound Lotus about it except me. My car has been stuck at the dealership for almost a month cause they can’t seem to figure it out.

Nope. I did not touch the throttle on the second start. Aircond is off. I have the habit of turning off my ac before I shut my car off and turning it on after the car has been started. Yes something is definitely wrong.

Yes I have tried this. Held the start button down for 5 minutes and heard the fuel pump buzz before starting. Same thing happens. I am bewildered. Attached a video. You can hear I primed the engine (held the start button down for 5 secs) with the wine/buzz before starting and the car will still...

My car (Jan 23 build) had this issue from the very start and got the latest software update, which did not fix the problem. Again, I'm dismissing the software as the reason, as not all Emiras are suffering from this issue. My car is back at the dealership (AGAIN). As for your SOS issue, try...

My car is not parked on an incline. I have not had the chance to test this theory. Mine has done it pretty much since I got the car (mine is a Jan 23 build), but I think I did not notice it as much as I drove the car a bit more often in the beginning (as expected). I went to get the latest...
