No, no smoke at all never uses any oil I fitted a turbo when I bought it as turbo shaft and sheared off so that's been done as well. I've swapped the n75 valve and check the pipework breather pipe and EGR all seem to function well. I think it has a weird intercooler and also swirl flaps which centre actuate but I could be wrong could be wrong.

The intercooler is a square oblong box with a valve in between it

@@calvinhudson327 my car has the same noise. I don't want to drive it hard. I'm scared it's a boost leak.

​@InvisibleYetVisible if it's not losing boost power it's probably ok I've drove mine up and down the motorway many times and it's been fine as long as the turbos getting oil and there's no significant play it should be fine.

@@calvinhudson327 the DPF light is on. I wonder if it's EGR cooler.

Look further down one of the posts are asking a similar question

I don't have the car anymore - check this out though you may be able to get the parts when stripped down and you know the size of the seals (Már nincs meg az autóm - ezt azért nézd meg) - www.autodoc.co.uk/cifam/15853106 - www.minicar-parts.nl/en/aixam/aixam-coupe/2010-2013 - www.minicar-parts.nl/en/aixam/aixam-coupe/2010-2013/main-brake-cylinder-aixam - www.minicar-parts.nl/en/aixam/aixam-coupe/2010-2013?p=1- - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404027041347?var=673911214551&gad_source=1&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=c52FFCMdAAAApAnrVxrp-DImaD0vAAAAAA

Boot capacity (L)567. I would double check first though

Still not found it to be honest just live with it, however i did get a P200200 error a week ago. when below about 8'c it misses for a while about 2mins so I'm thinking it may be the egr cooler as the egr valve functions correctly. although this may be nothing to do with the noise when warm.

@@calvinhudson327 Did you get it fixed? Where's the EGR Cooler? It kind of sounds like a boost leak. It's very similar to the noise on mine.

Hi Mate, I have just done a quick video of what I can see on a Seat Mii under ABS I will post link shortly, If the ABS module supports the feature i would guess this will read abs sensor faults without a problem as this is more than just a basic OBD reader/reset tool, It has the ability to go deep into all modules read, clear faults and do basic settings output test and so on. my findings are that not all modules support individual sensors my wife's Smart fortwo just said rear right when looking at the fault code (obviously using a different OBD device compatible with Smart), my Golf MK6 with VCDs allowed me to spin the wheel and see a mV reading generated by the sensor. I will say its a great tool that you can plugin and easy to use i love this, if someone else has purchased one and would like to comment that would be good for other people to know its capabilities including me. FYI; I purchased another one of these on offer from another site out of interest and it wouldn't work on my Samsung or Huawei (unable to connect to the Bluetooth although listed) and was very slow with the iPhone, no problems with the VdubDiag one on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10Plus, when I opened the OBD device the internals were different to the working vDubDiag.

th-cam.com/video/3mPdXoadJkQ/w-d-xo.html - sorry its very quick just to show you what you will see under ABS

@@calvinhudson327 Hi many thanks and very very helpful. You've convinced me and got one off ebay. Just hoping it's the genuine one. Will report back once tested.

I tested and it does read ABS faults. Showing the same fault as the garage with snap-on machine. Also there's live speed sensor data too. Great little thing and no issues with my Honor Magic 5 pro.

Hi, I'm pleased to here that, I don't make anything from making these videos and would hate to miss lead anyone; so when people add comments good or bad it helps everyone. as I've mentioned before not all OBD tools work for every model or offer the same in-depth level of diagnostics. It also depends on what the ECU/PCM support. Thankyou

Hi, Just read your question, If I'm honest i would say Vdub diag works well but one thing i have noticed is no tool fits all. this is the link for OBD11 forum that may help answer your specific question forum.obdeleven.com/ OBD11 is very good but charges credits for retro functions and even service resets coding, so i only use it to diagnose if i'm on the road and have any issues. I'm currently having issues with a Seat Mii Auto and none have really helped with the solution yet. But back to you. Vdub diag allowed me to recode the gearbox module to the car and is communicating again so that has done the same as VCDs. FVDI is another good tool for coding stuff but didn't help me on my A4 B7 as it turned out to be my Engine ECU at fault. VAS (the older version of ODIS) was good and guided you through the Steps along the way. So i wouldn't like to make a decision for you. I just ran through VDubDiag on A4 B7 (without a car connected ) and it looks like its possible to do airbag basic settings and Adaption sorry i cannot help further. here is another video of its use on an A5 th-cam.com/video/VJCU66Vommc/w-d-xo.html

Hi, check out these, albionshire.co.uk/product/ancel-vd700-vd-700-car-diagnostic-scanner-reset-tool-obd2-for-vag-vw-audi-seat-skoda-lamborghini-bentley-bugatti-dpf-oil-reset-abs-srs-battery-registration/ and www.anceltech.com/Public/Uploads/filetxt/20211007/244d9840-07f8-4ae4-9267-1650c5ca0ac9.pdf. it's got lots more feaptures than a standard OBD reader.

Great for VAG cars for servicing, fault finding and testing. Also works well on electric brakes.

@@calvinhudson327 thanks does it show fuel trims and o2 sensors on live data

No but it looks pretty accurate dunno if u still need to do this but for the future i think this tutorial will work but might have problems reaching those different screws with tools

No mate i sold this 9 months ago

@calvinhudson327 oh really on what website?

@@nyvictoryvictory4356 I sold it on Facebook marketplace

It was sold 11 months ago sorry.

This is what i found but please check elsewhere also as i would hate to give wrong advice - maybe if someone has latest Alldata ?

To be honest with you i used to buy 2litre bottles fully synthetic 5w/30 shell helix or Castrol MAGNATEC i used once when it was on offer but always new filter.

Hi Melissa, thanks for your positive comment, i to have used AllData and found its a good source of info for settings, torque sequences and Servicing but for this 451 engine it was just not clear on how to set the timing marks and with the cylinders being set at 120 degres it made it all the more awkward compared to the old 180 degree engines.

Couldn't agree more with Melissa. AllData was very vague on this and Calvin's video made the process clear and easy. Many thanks for this video and advice, made the installation easy peasy!!

Hi Michael, It is what it is what other options are there to stay dry and warm at 16 in the UK, When i first bought it for my wife i felt like i had bought a 4 wheel cement mixer but it never let my wife down in the 6 years she had it, was warm able to take her to work and shopping without the useless taxi drivers letting her down and looked as good as the day she bought it. plus got the same back when i sold it. A lovely couple bought it for their son hope it serves him as well as it did my wife. I did look at the Twizzy but you need a license to drive i believe as the BHP was 21 if i recall.

@@calvinhudson327Correct and at least it did what you wanted it to do. I wasn't saying that Aixam make bad cars it's just that particular engine i'm not a fan of because of the sound of it and the vibration must have been horrendous but i suppose after a while you'd get use to it. I'd happily have the 2cy petrol or 3cyl diesel model as it's smoother but can't because i do alot of urban and motorway driving which they aren't really suitable for. I've only seen them in towns and cities.

@@jaggass it's not just the noise it's the vibrations too the cars radio does help silence the obvious noise and on the older models it was the dashboard rattling due to its horrible vibrations those Kubota engines produce, they are good for a number of things but just it's only if you haven't got a car license already these are pretty expensive as well for what they are

@@doberman194 Kubota's have the 180c firing interval like many small Japanese motorbike engines. The 2 cyl petrol has the more conventional 360c firing interval like most in flat twin or inline 2 engines. They're pricey but let alot of young people get out and about more practical than a moped or quad bike.

There is a petrol one also

Hi Yes there is CVT oil and an air filter that can be found in the manual.pdf further down on this page (its free) as for the Tuning carb ( or Throttle body) yes and no you can adjust the throttle stop slightly to allow more pedal but i wouldn't go to far as the mixture may not be correct ( i did this on my wife's to get a few more MPH but do so at your own risk)

Hi, No mate, I didn't particularly want to do this one but i brought it faulty and fixed it.

I bought it 6 years ago for my wife it never let her down once I've just sold it this weekend

@@calvinhudson327 no way I’ve just missed out! How much? Have they come?

@@dtv3483 Hi, I'd rather not say as it wouldn't be polite to the family that purchased it, I did notice two others over the last year one at £4800 and another £7,795 if you look here there are a few for sale but may be LHD here - www.theparking.eu/used-cars/aixam-coupe-poland.html#!/used-cars/aixam-coupe.html you will also incur import and maybe registration costs both of which i have no knowledge of.

Yeah I’ve seen that website before, I think I’ll wait and hope one becomes available here in the uk! Fingers crossed!

Would you ask the family if they wouldn’t mind me contacting them? I’d be interested in the car after they have used it, would that be okay Calvin?

When i purchased for my wife she had a UK provisional licence with AM on it ( this wasn't something she had to do it was already on the licence) and then went and passed her moped CBT one day course, I contacted the DVLA and they said yes. As long as it was under 5 bhp and limited to 28 mph. To be on the safe side I would contact a motorbike shop or speak to CBT test centre for advice there is some info here or call aixam in the UK www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2232401/amp/Aixam-Coupe-S-Teenagers-need-moped-licence-handle-light-quadricycle.html?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#aoh=16457321814154&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-2232401%2FAixam-Coupe-S-Teenagers-need-moped-licence-handle-light-quadricycle.html

Hi, No it has to be the one that under 5hp, 350kg in weight, limited to 28mph. Light weight quadrocycle. Check on aixam web site.

U need a full motorbike license

If you are born before 1988 you don't need a licence and have am on provisional

Hi, Yes on a CBT licence its classed as a AM licence car, because they only do 30mph. Category AM mopeds have a maximum speed between 25km/h and 45km/h. See this - conversation.which.co.uk/parenting/16-year-olds-can-now-legally-drive-small-cars/ My wife wasn't 16 but she had had enough of taxis letting her down getting her work late. So i contacted the DVLA and they said yes as long as its under 5hp and 350KG in weight and she has passed her CBT moped licence which allows you to drive for 2 years and then you must either pass your test or redo CBT for a further 2 years, its classed as a light weight quadracycle, contact a motorcycle CBT test center and ask them they will advise you better than me. Hope that helps. the only downside is expensive even second hand. Apparently the french can drive at 14 see here www.aixam.com/en/driving-from-the-age-of-14

Oh nearly forgot - it has to be the same model and not the 500 and 600cc ones so be careful and check first.

@@calvinhudson327 Hi and thank you. I have purchased a litre of 80-W90 Axle Oil. I will try that this week and hopefully it will be alright. I had a litre of ATF and swapped it at the shop for the 80-90.

Hi Geoff, that's great, If you look at the manual that can be found here for free - at.aixam-mega-sav.com/Data/Gamme/doc/MANUEL_DE_REPARATION_S8rev2_UK.pdf - (MANUEL_DE_REPARATION_S8rev2_UK.pdf) on page 31 of 181 it states SAE 75/90 1 litre; but 80/90 should be fine and what it states on car parts suppliers, its all about viscosity the extremes and how cold and how hot the environment is, then you can mate an informed decision. Personally i always use fully synthetic where ever possible unless it states differently. Some motorcycle wet clutches can slip with synthetic oil as apposed to Mineral oil.

@@calvinhudson327 Thank you for putting yourself out to help me. The car has been neglected so I have been replacing outer parts of the engine. replaced the mount for the Headlights. yet to get inside the car and put a plate under the Handbrake it rocks from side to side. The radio turns on but no sound. Lots to do but loving the project. Many thanks

@@MrScorpiomoon Hello. Is it cheaper to fix than a car? On autodoc i found out that for example a starter for my b5 passat costs 89$ but on a Microcar starter Yanmar costs 139$ but in a different shop. Because you are doing it as a project so maybe you have such experience with regular cars too?

In answer to your question, Yes it is possible but a pig of a job with the engine in the car, you will need to raise the body off of the engine frame, There are 4 main bolts this will then allow you to remove the rocker cover and front Cam-chain cover. The reason its easier with the engine out is that the 2 seals mentioned (for water pump and one for oil tend to move about on assembly. So if you insisted on changing the chain with the car engine in situ, without going into too much detail - Undo the 2 rear main Engine frame bolts (near the exhaust), Loosen the front Main frame bolts (near the front of the rear wheels)enough to lower down ( the handbrake may also need disconnecting from the Engine frame as it will become tight (that's a weird ratchet thing), You will need to remove the 3 coil packs and wiring to one side, Crank case breather if i recall, Then remove rocker cover and Sump, Then alternator and tensioner, Now the Front Chain cover can be removed. There will be obstacles along the way with the engine in like trying to remove the cover as if i recall the shocker is in the way, Fuel pipe will be tight and Water radiator pipes in the way, Easier to lower and remove the engine on frame with wheels, It does involve disconnecting brake pipes and ABS cables all the wiring which is self explanatory but lots of it, Fuel pipe, Rad pipes, Handbrake cable. but you will be able to change the clutch if needed and inspect everything, Also be confident that you have done the job well i may have forgotten some things that need disconnecting. Oh and invest in a Hose Clamp Pliers tool to disconnect the rad pipes if you remove the engine

Sorry, so to clarify on your question the Cam top cover removed you can also see the timing marks then, Front Cover (may need to remove pump from cover to do this or shocker leg, spring etc. due to room needed to get beyond Crankshaft also Crank pulley.) Sump could in theory stay put. but its those Damn rubber seals, you don't want water in the oil or visa versa. Incidentally I read somewhere, you can expect to get 200,000 miles without a rebuild.
