In city i buy from brand gas stations and not from private ones. In country only from gas stations that i have informations from locals otherwise i avoid then. Those in the city i have checked them so many times with my car or my motorcycle and keep in mind that on the net we talk each other or read the test results so if a gas station do something wrong then next day is on the "black list". It's a matter or time for a gas station to establish a quality "name" and in case which is "bad" will start losing customers day by day till it close.

I am on the smartphone now, tomorrow noon i wiil be on pc and i will answer.

From the exhaust manifold till the end mine are 45mm, some new drivers ask or believe some others from tuning magazines and put 48mm which is wrong. Soon they discover their mistake but it's too late, they lost money plus HP.

From the back of the catalyst till the end isn't the same?

I have Koni orange shock absorber with Apex lowering spings Strut brace and lower Arm bar Brembo brakes and brake pads (factory dimensions) with metal brake hoses. Felicia is an old model. Yes but this has 2 problems, 1st is the cost of shipping and second there is no quarantee that you will recieve a ''fresh'' (with recent DOT) tyre and not one which was in the shelf for years.

Tomorrow morning i will be at the ECU-chip repair shop. My Felicia has the same problem with @HappySkoda but ONLY at the second cold start of the day (the car is on the parking, cooled for 6-7 hours). I was blaiming the air (5 floors beneath earth) but i am not sure for this.

How many mm is the diameter of the exhaust pipes?

I have 14 inch rims 5.5j with 175/60 tyre, in the past i had factory 13 inch rims with 165/70 Matador tyres. My Toyo are the CF22.

Bad news for the Hankook Kinergy Eco 2 K435, in the beginning they told me to wait about 10 days then at least a month due to the delay from Covid and Holidays. I can not wait so much time, rainy days are coming and my 5+ years old Toyo are not in good shape to face that.

Any news since then?

It's leather on the door panels plus painted plastics, i have done them many years ago. The limit here in Greece is 38% light restriction, the rear membrane yes is one click darker but this saves me many times at night because some stupids buy cheap chinese xenon lights which spread the light irregularly. It's a crossroad in Athens, the front is small for one car only (where the pedestrian is) and on my left is a main road enough wide for a car and a motorcycle or a big vehicle. Up and left you can see the wheel of another parked car, one step away from the ''line'' of the end of the door and the orange cone and ''i am done''. Usually the drivers of the busses-trucks horn to me from a distance because they afraid that i will move to the left and they will crush me. It's dangerous and tedious but some things must be repaired and i can not visit the repair-shop often.

@nta16 : below is a characteristic example of me working on the side of the road, hot sun-rain-wind-cold and cars-busses-trucks passing 1m far away from my tools, if i make a mistake of one step away from the orange cone i am gonna get hit and injured or die. I took the risk so many times, i can't do this especially for things that need space and proper tools (work on valves, pistons, shaft, fuel line etc).

I have posted some photos showing me working (i have not a private parking) in the side of the road, many times at winter, my tools are down in the ashpalt and the other car passing close to me. I have done it so many times (although is dangerous) but since i have no one to help me i don't mess with some things that i mention before because if something goes wrong i will have to abandon my car and try to find another way to go to work plus i have to wait for the road assistance truck to carry my car in the local repair-shop. All these mean money and time and i don't have that luxury. Work outside for the bike-for the car-for the house, many times i have catched a cold, i got a pain in my back, i have to take medicines etc...i am tired ! 8-8,5 ltr / 100 Km it's not a bad consumption for a ''mixed'' driving.

I have it as a principle since i was young. No matter if it is my motorcycle or my car I do not touch a gearbox,a piston, a ball bearing, a shaft etc. I do not want to take responsibility, it's a huge risk for me.

I have seen even 5 litre per 100 Km this way but in city traffic the things are very different.

On national highway?

I don't want to open the cover and touch anything inside, if i do something wrong "i will pay the bride" as we say here which means "it will cost me a lot". It's a risk for me.

It's very easy, 2 allen screws and one plug and it's out. For the gap you can buy a filler tool but as is from the factory i think it's OK.

What? With what kind of traffic,speed?

So now every cold start in the morning is fine as back in th good-old days?

These about G11 and the others.

@HappySkoda : Have you ever clean the inside of the 4 black sockets (mpouzopipes in Greek) of the ignition coil? The spark plugs are as the factory ones, Champion RC89PYC ?

The factory specifications are: G11 1994 ,VW TL 774 C G12 / G12+ 1996 ,VW TL 774 D/F G12++ 2005 ,VW TL 774 G G13 2008 ,VW TL 774 J Felicia had G11 Green colour from the factory, G11 now can be found in Blue colour in many brands. @HappySkoda : is your air filter clean or new? Is your throttle cleaned with spray lately?

Go to a Skoda repair shop or another if there is no one close to you. The mechanic will connect a laptop or another device to your OBD 1 port that you have and after a short scanning he will see if there are any errors (from sensor etc) and he wiil erase them.

4-5 minutes when you are static or while moving?
