Engine bay surprises
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThe plastic cover beneath it isn't in proper position (as the other in the right side). The bumper in his left side (as you look the photo) is moving a bit due to a parking ''hit and run'', the right side has scrtaches for the same reason. I will make a try go for a paint job together with the fender (driver's side). https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2025_09/NX-(1).jpg.3d8c48c115c2a1140e8ea10d94d2c892.jpg https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2025_03/-.jpg.08c7608f834b9ca2c9c7fd3ebb06c0f7.jpg https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2025_03/IMG_20250319_074130.jpg.f32b896e5220d8d3d2dbead9be2a9cc2.jpg

Engine bay surprises
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanIn English are called ''parking lights'',here in Greece we call them ''position lights". We turn them On when the sun starts goes down or at dawn when there is no need for strong light. One was burned and the other turned to ''yellowish'' (was ''Ice cool when it was new). I realise it when i saw my car in a reflection of a store-front,in GR cars with one light only On are called for fun as ''One eye pirate". A replacement set was ordered, W5W in 6000K,i didn't want yellow at 3000K.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to OmerGarabagi's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanHere is how you can do the test. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/511704-glitters-inside-my-coolant-expansion-tank/page/7/- Skoda Felicia Understeer
I am adifferent man, i have different style and my Felicia is modified. I have made some upgrades in brakes, i have no ABS and i am careful because i would have a ''lock'' in hard emergensive braking. The tyres are not ''squeeking'' when i push them in turns like Michelin, they are not so Sport as Bridgestone (which were ''woods'' in City and i want worst Mpg), they can do everything ''good'' like ''Golden ratio''. If you want something soft for City and cool driving go for Michelin. Yokohama and Continental have the worst grade in Mpg.- Skoda Felicia Understeer
I have use 10 tyres from that brand in 175/60/14, i have drove in wet-dry-light ice, night and day, normal or sport style, National Highway or Mountain Routes (City traffic does not counts). It's far best than Bridgestone-Michelin-Matador in this dimension.- 1.9D no ignition/warning lights but everything else is good
Contact cleaner (no oil) will do nothing more than good in relays, switches, contacts etc.- Skoda Felicia Understeer

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI wonder if a technician in a upholstery-shop can make a modifications to our factory head rests and make them with more inclination like this: I have sat in 2 buckets seats (actually chairs) and i realise that there was a big gap between the back of my head and the head rest Almost 4-5 fingers and i found this very dangerous, yes i know this gap is for helmet (racing) but if an every day driver uses it with standard seat belts then the bouncing back would be fatal.- Skoda Felicia leatherette seat covers

So we must replace them with another material? metal perhaps? If so what about friction-lubrication issues with the rail?- ''Glitters'' inside my coolant expansion tank
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanUpdate: Last night i checked the expansion tank, YES there are still some detritus inside (look like glitters but not so ''shiny"), look like this https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2025_01/G.jpg.cdc538aa212b57de31ef57585041fbcb.jpg and i saw that the antifreeze level was ''one click'' lower and i added about 200ml distilled water. I saw no leaks and i think the culprit is the VIKA expansion tank (bolts) since the cap is better quality.- Škoda Favorit fuel pump and distributor
Sorry @nta16 but i can not help @Joja2k because i have ECU in my Felicia and no knoledge about the distributor. 🥺- Skoda Felicia leatherette seat covers
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanA ''torture'' road test including a moment of crash test. Surprisingly, not many videos have survived from the crash tests of the Favorit's successor, the popular Felicia. This is actually the only video capturing the durability tests and several more tests with the first airbags, which, however, were only available in very few Felicias on our market. Most of them were exported.- Full Electric Window Retrofit on Skoda Felicia – Advice Needed

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanIn my pc i have this article in German language,if i remember correctly the Feliia took 67% in the crash test (with the standards of that era) when other cars had less, a French one had scored 32%. I will search for it when i get home and i will post tomorrow.- Full Electric Window Retrofit on Skoda Felicia – Advice Needed
For me it's the rattle noise when the driver's window is 3 fingers down,in all the other positions is Ok but while driving in City the noise is continuous and makes me crazy.- Skoda Felicia leatherette seat covers
