Oroa dig inte, inga problem.

To be honest in 22 years only one time i just add a quantity of Pentosin CHF 7.1 from a spare can in the reservoir. I heard for some days a noise like ''grrrng" every time i was full turning the steering wheel and when i opened the cap i saw that some mineral oil was missing. Nor me or the mechanic has seen some ''suspicious" and after all these years i want to change the fluid and as a precaution i had the thought to add some of that ''Power Steering Stop Leak" but first i think i have to make a thorough visual test by lifting the car to see if there is a leak first and then decide if it's properly to change the whole fluid with a synthetic one. I have some spare CHF 7.1 but after all these years would have moisture on it? (hygroscopicity).

You are not the only one, i visited few years ago a repair-shop for the hanger rubber of the muffler, one of the employees (which back in his country didn't allowed for the civilians to have cars and now he became a ''mechanic") told me with grimace to don't bother any more with Felicia and buy a new model. Immediately i glare at him, ''do you have 15.000 euro to buy a new car?" ''Hm...No way" ''So why you tell me to do this?" ,wrathful i left and went to the next exhaust repair-shop and for 15 years now i am a customer of them. Buy a Haynes Manual from ebay, has step-by step photos for many DIY tasks and this will save you time and money.

Have you ever use Power Steering Stop Leak products? Some of them say that except stop leaking they protect the O-rings, protect from wear, make the pump work easier etc.

I can not phone to a foreign company and ask for technical details for a product, my english are not good and soon or latter the communication will ''stuck". https://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/2451781-liqui-moly-power-steering-oil Oil - manufacturer recommendation: VW G 002 000 If the capacity is 1 litre for sure i will buy 2 because a completely flush must be done so almost none of the old oil must stay inside.

SKODA FELICIA II (6U1) 1.3 (50 KW / 68 PS) AUDI-VW TL 52 146 https://www.todos.gr/antallaktika/anartisi-axonon-vrachiones-elegchou-trochoi/ladia/skoda/felicia-ii-6u1/1-3-11193 https://kritosparts.gr/Code/G 002 000 https://www.opieoils.co.uk/search.aspx?search=G 002 000 All of them are given as Synthetics and in Green colour. A bottle (1 litre) is enough to do the job? Asking a company here for a product as Oil for example for an old car as Felicia there is no guarantee that they will answer (as some US companies-shops do immediately) so we are trying to learn more by intersection of information between pdf from the manufacturer-forums etc.

https://www.audiworld.com/forums/audi-100-a6-c4-platform-24/power-steering-fluid-2146435/page2/ Except the known: There has been a good measure of controversy over this question. Here is what our own experience shows. Over the last decade we've had no compatibility problems mixing the CHF 7.1 non-synthetic mineral base fluid and the CHF 11S synthetic based Audi hydraulic fluid. No problems with our own vehicles and no problems with our customers vehicles. Our success in mixing the 2 Audi hydraulic fluids coincides with the Audi tech bulletin 48-89-T07 issued in November 1989. It states "The new [synthetic Pentosin 11S] and old hydraulic fluid [non-synthetic Pentosin 7.1] can be mixed if necessary ... the part number [remains] unchanged." So according to Audi, you can mix the 2 Audi hydraulic fluids. Even though the composition of the fluid changed (CHF 11S synthetic mineral oil vs CHF 7.1 non-synthetic mineral oil), Audi didn't even change the part number. All 1990 - on Audi models have come filled from the factory with the synthetic CHF 11S Audi hydraulic fluid (G002000). Please Note: Never mix generic hydraulic fluid or other fluid with the CHF 7.1 or CHF 11S Audi hydraulic fluid (G002000). If you or someone else did, flush the Audi hydraulic fluid as described below. there is a guy with only 1 post post which writes very ''strictly" This is the FINAL WORD! No more discussion...ever!! Every other opinion from every other source is WRONG. Read the OEM containers for yourself, and remove all doubt. DO NOT believe the guys at the Parts Counters OR the Mechanics who are Audi Trained. "Pentosin" is the OEM for the hydraulic oil used in Audi's (and occasionally BMW's, VW's, etc.) Steering Systems. It is called by many names, part numbers and packaged in numerous different shape and size containers, BUT the following is "The More Sure Word": "Pentosin" CHF 7.1 (White Can, Green Cap) is a natural mineral based fluid used in the Audi 5000 from 1984 to 1989. Use ONLY 7.1, anything else will dissolve your steering pump seals and hoses, and your parking space will show up on the EPA "Super Clean-up" site list as oil-saturated from all the leaks! Pentosin CHF llS (Green Can, Red Cap) is a synthetic mineral based fluid used (thus the "S" in the name),in the Audi 5000 for the 1990 and after. The 1990+ Models use different materials in the hydraulic system which are not subject to disintegration. Use ONLY 11S, which has a slightly wider operating temperature range. NOTE: In some Audi service Bulletins it says that they are interchangeable and/or they can be mixed. THIS IS A LIE. Audi does not know what they are talking about. The OEM Manufacturer warns against this on each OEM container. Audi re-packages these products for sale to their customers, but omits this strict warning from the original manufacturer. Audi went so far as to carry over the exact same part number "G 002 000" from the original CHF 7.1, to the newer CHF 11S, which has confused many and caused the destruction of countless hydraulic systems. CAUTION: NEVER, NEVER MIX THE CHF 7.1 & CHF 11S. THE RESULTS CAN BE CATASTROPHIC!

I want to replace mine but what can i use as alternative since the Pentosin CHF 7.1 is discontinued? The specification of Hydraulic oil is G 002 000 Many years back we had this: Pentosin cHF 7.1 is a high performance hydraulic fluid, formulated with mineral base oils, for life-time lubrication in older/vintage vehicle aggregates. It serves in power steering systems, shock absorber, automatic level control and other chassis suspension systems. Pentosin CHF 7.1 is NOT miscible with modern high performance hydraulic fluids such as the Pentosin CHF 11S or CHF 202 Audi/Volkswagen Reference number: A0E 041 020 10 This one says "Synthetic" although writes in Numbers: G002000 https://www.worldcarparts.co.uk/synthetic-green-power-steering-hydraulic-fluid-febi-bilstein-06161 How about this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/323485763431 Any suggestions?

Ha,ha yes we have many of them in various types.

Shrink tube is very good choice but with silicone inside is excellent for permanately job. Some insulation tape pvc are cheap quality and after a while got sticky and unfold by themselves. Adhensive Cloth tape as Tesa 51608 is fine for cables in dry conditions.

I have heard many stories here about cars with a head gasket failure which the mechanics took the chance to ''tunning'' the head on the bench so after the compression is one click higher. Is this good?

''original VW'' as some say it or other brand name? Maybe was a cheap one from a s.market or wholesale store?

After the first change of antifreeze, i got rid of the factory green G11, it's been 20 years now that i haven't put it on again. Now only blue G11 and as much as possible brand name as Motul-HEPU-Repsol etc. Good luck with your examinations and when you come back i will ask you what's the functional difference between your Birth italy and mine (i have the blue at 1.2 bar).

@Thefeliciahacker : Your coolant is Green colour?

Cylinder head gasket surface maximum distortion Petrol: 0.05mm Diesel: 0.1mm

So this will be renamed or there will be a new one "My felly is DONE FOR No2" ? 🧐

In the past i have done some experiments with that hose (total remove, half remove etc) plus some experiments with filters and cone filter. I thought that the entry point of fresh air for that hose was a hole beside the towing eye that's why i was hesitating to install a second pair of fog light (as auxiliary).

https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/etka/skoda/fel/101/129050/ Many-many years ago i removed both fog light grills, i remember where the towing eye hole was but i though that cool air to the air box was coming (item 16 on the above diagram) from a hole behind the plastic grill. That double fog light grill is self-made?

2 repair-shops (Non Skoda by the way) told me the same but i was still not convinced. But now with your most helpful post (with codes included) if feel covered on that matter.

Yes which now resting behind the cover of the rear bumper but beside this hole isn't the factory one which feeds air the air box? The hose in the left side of the photo fits to the adaptor of that grille hole.

Very nice but i would keep some factory items as radio antenna, the central console, the orange on side markers, plastic gear shift, manual windows etc. The armrest in the past caused me problems and i remove it. Nice wind shield wiper blades, keys, sunroof (needs wrap film). What is this cover? https://moje.auto.cz/?sekce=foto&im_id=im_4b4d0656354a4&ga_id=GA_4b4cd55821504 As about this https://moje.auto.cz/?sekce=foto&im_id=im_4b7801a4d8ee5&ga_id=GA_4b4cd55821504 Doesn't blocks the factory hose which brings air from the grille inside the filter? I have extra fog lights but are hawk-eye and not so big as these.

I have the blue https://kritosparts.gr/Part/TAPA-DOX.NEROU-PSYGEIOU-GNISIO-6U0121321A/eG186U0121321A at 1,2 bar as the above Yellow. What's the functional difference in your Fellicia with the Birth Italy compared to these?

These? https://www.birth.it/en/products/cooling-parts/coolant-cap What's the functional difference in your Fellicia?

Can you do the winding work on these?
