Common "issues" and solutions with Felicia/Favorit based vehicles
Few months ago i ordered some parts from Poland, i had a similar problem, my gear stick was ''too loose" in N and in 3rd was was trembling a little bit. By instinct i ordered some parts (the shop helped a lot because for each part had the original code and with an arrow on ETKA was showing his place) and the problem solved. The gear stick is stiffer, no trembling and more ''positive'' changes than before.

Common "issues" and solutions with Felicia/Favorit based vehicles
The lock on the drivers side is semi-working mode which means i can unlock the car with the key but can not lock it. A local mechanic said he can do a patent but cannot guarantee that will last long which means i had to re-make the patent etc. Removing the panels, working, put them back etc it's not something that i want to make it often and i don't want to replace that lock so i had to have an extra key only for this door. I wish i could repair that lock permanently.

Skoda Felicia TC-6 trip computer
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNever-ever heard something relative. The No1 enemy for cables (when the car is inside a covered dark parking and abandoned for long time is the Mouse. Many times to protect themselves from the cold some Cats and Snakes can be found inside the engine bay and i know a case where a Goat bite and ate some exposed cables from my uncles motorcycle. The new sensor from SP-EL arrived and i pray to solve the problem because all the other functions of the TC-6 work as they should be.

10" Dash Camera Rearview Mirror in my Felicia
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThus it's Ok for rear view (cars following) while driving but for parking i don't think will help due to the angle. On my car a said to the electrician and added a button especially for the Parking function because i didn't want the camera to open every time i choose the reverse. Many times you don't need the camera's help to park but on night times it's fantastic, it helps me a lot. I just returned from vacations, i have to solve the TC-6 fuel sensor problem and then i will post some photos.

Skoda Felicia TC-6 trip computer
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI must remind you that he makes them and testing something before send it to the customer protects first of all his reputation. It's not a cheap Chinese store which sells bulbs on ebay and after few months disappears. His words, not my speculations. On my case something went wrong after 2 days and i post it.

Skoda Felicia TC-6 trip computer
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes, it runs bad because has a defective SP-EL fuel sensor for the TC-6 on the injector. When that sensor removed (2nd video) everything back to normal. That tape is just an effect, supposed don't let the hot air after some time make the intake pipe get very hot.

Skoda Felicia TC-6 trip computer
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNo problem with the sparks, only with the new SP-EL sensor the problem show up, the 4th cylinder does not get the proper fuel. https://i.imgur.com/iJt4gM4.mp4 After disconnect the SP-EL sensor and puts the factory plug everything went back to normal You can hear the electrician saying that ''now you will see....now it's clean all the 4 of them working" Shouldn't they?

Skoda Felicia TC-6 trip computer
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanUpdate: things didn't get well with this TC-6 from SP-EL, the fuel sensor is defective ! The older system was more simple than this one which supposed is ''plug and play" (no cutting the red wire etc). To be honest i am disappointed from this, it was new, supposed they had tested it and keep in mind that they don't have credit card or ebay payment and the shipping rate is very high. To get an idea it's much cheaper to get an item from Texas or Sidney to Athens than an item from Prague to Athens. https://imgur.com/P33zCGIhttps://i.imgur.com/P33zCGI.mp4 You can hear the sound on the video, the fourth cylinder is not working properly and my electrician said that he can not do anything because is sealed from the back. Of course i have not any indications on the LCD screen for fuel consumption so i ordered a new sensor but since it's summer holiday period i have no time to wait for it, when it comes i will install it to see what happens.

10" Dash Camera Rearview Mirror in my Felicia
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanGreat idea but i am afraid that the lens are going to have some ''tough time" especially with the guys on car washing stores plus that i am unlock the trunk with the key many times so i don't want to remove the lock. I don't use always the alarm so when i am working on a project or have it in inside my garage (birthplace house) i use the key for the trunk. Since i am not young any more and i have injury in the lumbar vertebrae it's not easy for my to turn my head looking back for long time and put some ''guess" while parking especially with a bike behind me at night. I bought this mirror mainly for parking assistance but as i said the things are not as they say in the promote videos. In future posts i will explain more since now i have an issue with my TC-6 trip computer and i am focused there.

1999 Skoda Felicia 1.3 Alternator problem
Check with a multimeter the V that comes from the alternator and buy a pair of diodes, this way is far simplest and cheaper if that won't work then you can visit an electrician to check the rectifier the reel and the spiral if can refurbished. Keep in mind that if you buy a new BOSCH alternator the regulator of your old one WILL NOT fit on it so i case that in the future you will need a new one you have to go to a BOSCH parts store. On BOSCH the regulator is not easily visible and accessible as in the stock one !

10" Dash Camera Rearview Mirror in my Felicia
I have installed a TOGUARD 10" mirror in my Felicia, front camera is 2.5K and the rear is 1080P Features: Auto On/Off, Date and Time Stamp, Display Screen, Dual Lens, DVR, Full HD, G-sensor (Motion Detection), Lock File Button, Loop Recording, Marine/Waterproof, Multi-Channel, Night Vision, Parking Mode I didn't bought with GPS in purpose because i don't want to look high plus i would have an issue in the future with map updates so i didn't want to bother with that. It's touch screen with some adjustment and the rear camera view has 4 scales of adjusting. Microphone & Speaker are Built-in but i turn them to Off. As always in real life things aren't so ideal as in the videos, the camera is on the left side (there are some models with the camera on the right side for UK style drivers). I am use that mirror few days only, some times as a simple mirror some times with the camera (back view only) night and day and the parking camera is not connected in purpose to the bulb but in a switch in the ashtray because i want to open it only i difficult cases and not any time a put the reverse. I thing it worthed the cost because solves problems especially at night moving on dark places-parking with low light etc. I decided to not buy-install yet the hardware kit and automatically this means i don't have enough ''cover'' on the parking mode because the battery or the mirror won't last long enough but this protects my car's battery. There are some Pros and Cons which i will explain them in future posts.
