    I’ve just had both doors replaced. Doors ordered in early October 2024, and they were delivered in the first week of March. The dealer then took care of everything, including the full disassembly, getting the doors painted, and assembling everything. They also performed a full service, oil...

    Are you using an aftermarket oiled "wet" filter? The OEM filter is dry so there shouldn't be any oil up there...

    Fuel trims look perfect. Regarding the codes thrown definitely get it checked, do you have access to a dealer? A loose ground would be my guess

    Yes it can do the shopping

    And precooked by the time you get home, how nice!

    Hi can you check the Short Term Fuel Trims (%) when idle for 1-2min? In my case I had water ingress in the ECU which shorted out and destroyed one lambda sensor on bank 2, same position, each time I washed my car or got into heavy rain. Solution was some aftermarket sealing and waterproofing by...

    Recalls and software update, parts delay.

    Hmm. Surely some sensor failing. Does it happen when starting hot? Maybe intake air temp?

    My launch control doesn't work

    Wash that lady like there's no tomorrow. If something breaks let them figure it out under warranty. Otherwise rain will do it for you. It's not a one off hypercar garage queen. The lights fog up and that's okay as long as you don't see any standing water in there. I think it's even mentioned...

    P2098 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean

    Get them checked by your dealer. Mine were destroyed by water ingress near the ECU. You can drive like this. The car should detect something wrong and switch to open loop. If it acts up or has resistant throttle response you can try giving wide throttle input and "power through". In my case...

    P2098 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean

    Try „CarScanner" from the AppStore. Go to Live Data -> Combined -> Deselect all (top right button), search for O2 Voltage and enable both. Press OK to plot a graph. Zoom out a little. Let the car idle, AirCon off. Don’t touch the gas. Let the car run 5 minutes or something before. About one...

    Heat Underneath Driver Side

    Your AC is broken and stuck on heat. Try turning it off or to "Lo" and feel with your hand in the area - it will probably still feed in warm air

    EVAP system - charcoal canister issue

    Depends on if your dealer is one of the friendly or stick to the rules kind. Officially you'll at least put a "who is at fault" on the table if you keep it modified. Various text from Lotus side suggest any modification will void all warranty - but this is gonna be hard to argue and actually...

    It should work if you manually disconnect bluetooth and connect again 2-3 times. It’s bonkers.

    How bad does the boot/trunk heat get?

    Trunk? You talking about the built in potato baker? I don't think isolating is very feasible. Electronics go behind the seat for me. Wait for the colder days when you get into your nice warm jacket!

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    Love to hear that! Maybe they did actually fix most of the issues on the US cars by now. The water diverter is for the AC, so good thing you have that fitted since it's water ingress problem #1. I don’t have specific answers for why the ECM seemed to work "just fine" even with water ingress...

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    As per Porter: "The Engine Control Module sits in the left side of the engine bay tucked forward of and above the airbox inlet." The positioning is strategic and it shouldn't be exposed to high amounts of water there, but still happened on mine. I drove in pouring rain and washed it using a...

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    They are not too tight. The ECU gets drowned in water when washing. This shorts out "the connector" / pins whatever of the lambda sensor. Lambda sensor will be damaged by this. The broken lambda sensor will either: read a stuck value never come alive jump around in the whole range multiple...

    Drive Modes explained and Lotus Dynamic Performance Management

    Forget emissions, decibel will get you. Emissions are read from OBD as far as I know. Since the 3rd "cat" doesn't have sensors it shouldn't matter.

    Volvo (Geely) to update older infotainment systems

    Not relevant for Emira. Good for Volvo tho. Had a rental and the car was great. The Infotainment realllllly seemed to be behind the market tho.

    Correct and I'm sure it's being blocked somewhere high up. It'd be a huge bill for them.

    Front wheel hub scratched!

    Sticker just looks tacky in my opinion. Own it and show that this thing is being driven! I'd assume the colored sticker would draw more attention to it than the scratch itself.

    Intermittent failure to start

    How do you conclude your fuel door not opening = electrical issue regarding rough starts? I'd guess you might have accidentally locked the car getting out. The fob buttons press rather easily even in pants pockets. That would lock the door.

    Head Light On dash light always ON ?

    Wrong. Since 2011 all new cars being typified for EU need to have DRLs fitted, but not every country has a law dictating to use them.

    Anyone else have a car that doesn’t start strongly?

    Do you have a OBD reader? If so check your O2 sensor readings. I went through numerous pairs until we fixed what was destroying the sensors over and over again.

    Lotus Emira Service Notes

    This kind of codes are not documented. But I can tell you it’s a Emira gremling that might fixed by an update. If it’s a continuous occurrence it might be water ingress. Don’t sweat it - drive it and it should clear itself after a few miles. Welcome to the family 😂

    Intermittent failure to start

    I'm gonna go +1 on fuel being the clue. I've driven about 7000 kilometers (4350 cheeseburgers per eagle) without a single stutter when starting. I usually fuel up on German "JET" Super 98 = Euro RON 98 approx. US 94. 2 days ago I had to go with "Aral" which sells "Aral Ultimate 102" here...

    Window problem

    Based on the fact your windows go down all the way into the door I'd guess they lost calibration somehow. Try the calibration procedure I'd say.
