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 Calvin. I have the Aixam 500 Diesel. I am confused to what goes in the automatic transmission unit. Is it ATF. Gear oil or synthetic oil.? Looking at your user manual it says Inverter unit. I assume that is the automatic gear box but it says synthetic Oil any idea please? I have not driven it yet as it needed work doing to the engine. thank you
If its a cvt belt drive i found this 80W90 reversing axle oil - High quality semi-synthetic here mini-auto-parts.co.uk/gear-box-aixam/430-reverse-gearbox-oil-2000000019383.html hope it helps. Look at the model in the weblink. I'll double check when I get a mo
@@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?
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)
What are you guys talking about? It has not got carburator or throttle body, it is a diesel engine. You can adjust the fuel screw and get more power but exhaus gas temp goes up and can damage the engine. Needs a turbo or supercharger and you can get quite a lot more power from that little engine. I am personally a supercharger guy in such a small engine.you simply need that boost right from the very bottom.
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

Is there any other oil change eg gearbox oil? Any air filter?? Anyway to tune the carb??
