Skoda Felicia (1959-1964) restoration videos.

Greek shops does not promote Sachs due to their hich prices, instead they make offers for cheaper brands. I have never heard that.

Sachs has a strong reputation.

Another one for ÚVMV 1100 GT (or Škoda 1100 GT) a decade earlier, at 1970. Plus an animation video:

Yes but your old altenator can charge sufficiently that big Ah battery?

Only in Czech-Polish shops, the price is 1-2 euros but the shipping costs are extremeley high plus the delay (bank transfer).

Summer in Greece means moisture and even 45'C outside so we use mainly 80-85 fan switch. With 70-75'C switch your fan will work very early and continue to work like mad,you will pay this in fuel consumption and early motor fan failure.

Your fan now does not working overtime especially in traffic?

It depends on the country (weather conditions). Here in Athens we have warm weather and traffic so for our car a thermostat 87'C and 80-85'C fan switch is fine. In Egypt the weather is similar to ours so why you go to the extreme with 80'C thermostat and 70-75'C fan switch?

I heavy traffic at summer actually works all the time. For me last only one day, i could stand it and the next day at morning i was in the repair-shop with the demand ''change it now''. Some say ''this will save your gasket@ but i don't agree.

In the beginning i saw those 2 projects but i hesitate to buy any of them. It's great for the Czechs or the Polish to do that, it's the same in USA especially at South were people restore-modify and drive daily cars from '70's 60's even 50's. I highly respect those guys and it's an inspiration. Amazing, i didn't knew that.

When I bought my Trusty i thought the front wiper had the same timer as the rear. Then i saw that the back has only one (manualy) function. On the highway i do not mind but in city traffic it is very annoying while raining to push every time the lever to clean the rear window.

You have installed an extra relay on that position? and does what?

I wish they could do something for the rear wiper,the manual function makes me nervous sometimes.

Very interesting but i hesitate for 3 reasons: 1) The translation of the manual (my electrician is from Moldavia) and some terms can not translated as they must from google 2) The warranty of the product,check my topic for the TC-6 and you will understand 3) In case that something will go wrong after few years no one here will fix it,everybody will say ''i don't know that, go to the guy which sold this to you" and relative comments. 1. It's like a DRL? personally i don't like it 2. I have replaced the factory bulb and added 2 strong led small panels so i can see clearly even if there is a small gravel on the carpet. Sometimes i get in-exit the car at night with the cabin light on Off in purpose. 3. Analogue gauge is more visible 4. I have already a digital voltmeter on the console plus one in my TC-6 5. I have already a digital temperature gauge on the console plus via my TC-6 i see the temperature inside the filter case 6. I have already a digital clock on the console but i look often my wrist watch especially at night when the car is off 7. That's very interesting because many times due to the adjustments from the right lever i can not find the proper synchronization of the wiper,sometimes is faster sometimes is slower (always depending from the rain rhythm).

We the Felicians have the same problems?

Probably , some guys to the gear oil change change by themselves in a not proper leveled place. Happens often in coolant expansion reservoir too.

Does this "tovarich" says good this for our engine or not? Did he said "za zdarovye" in the end?

During the USSR, communism was more interested in weapons systems and related matters (missiles, armor, space weapons, chemical warfare, secret services, underground factories, etc) than cars or motorcycles for civilians. The Czech Republic was trapped before the Second World War, it was not only the budget but also the freedom of sale-participation in international exhibitions, competitions-export parts etc.

I didn't knew that, they told me many times that only a ''second hand'' can be found, thank you !

Yes but this way after parking the car some days will drain your battery and especially at winter in a cold start "you are done".

Update For those who haven't bought a mirror like this here are some first impressions of mine: The mirror looks a little bit ''bluish" but you can adjust the brightness. With sunglasses things get a little bit worst so in very bright days and when i am wearing polarized sunglasses i turn the mirror off. If you want to have him on ''parking mode" you need a extra hardware kit otherwise will drain you car battery (his own won't last other than few hours). Mine does not has a memory when turned Off which means every time gets On shows the view from both cameras and i had to slide to see the rear view. The lines when the R is selected in my model are not adjustable, for me it's not a problem.I have a separate button for reverse view when it's time to park and i can open the camera any time i want. The main issue is the trembling when the car is on the idle for example traffic light, i have tested the double stripe gripe plus some adhesive tape on the back but the problem never solved 100% , it's just one click better.
