Hi,

 

Welcome to the very small club! They are great cars and I am sure we can get you sorted out. Both myself and the wife have a 2012 twinair auto Limited and despite having a few issues, I managed to figure them all out and get them sorted.

 

The start stop can lock out if there is an underlying problem. I don't know what your mechanical experience is, but all you need to do to get it going again is disconnect the quick release negative battery cable, then disconnect the battery sensor on the same battery terminal. When you reconnect, connect the sensor first, then the negative battery cable. You need to leave it long enough for the clock to lose the time, if it hasn't when you reconnect, the start stop will not of reset and you need to leave it longer. 5 Minutes is normally enough. Please also be aware that the start stop is likely to be disabled again at some point, until the fault is resolved.

 

As for the loss of power, can you provide more detail. Was it like the engine was switched off and the car was slowing down, or did it just hold back for a bit before finally accelerating? If the latter, does it drive ok when the engine is cold? I had this problem too and resolved it quite cheaply as I know my way around engines.

 

Mike.

Hi Mike, I have been having a power problem with my twinair recently. The problem I`m getting is, runs fine when cold, but when warm holds back if you are in traffic and try to accelerate with the flow of traffic.

So far i`ve swapped coil packs, plugs, air filter and cleaned the throttle body and both air sensors. Was your problem similar nad how did you manage to resolve it. TIA

Had the recall done on mine for the headlights, and now the will not switch off. Light stalk has been changed and ecu updated again, now car is sat there in pieces as this has not fixed the problem and the need to keep the car until they can correct it. No time scale for the fix yet.

Anyone else had a letter for the 5959 recall about the Headlight problem. Mines booked in on the 17th Feb

Hi everyone, my wife and i both have a Ypsilon twinair each.

Brilliant little car
