Ι have seen it in a video, the same can occur in Felicia which has a cheap plastic cover (like a curtain) anf often this leaks and brinkg rain drops inside the floor mats. The drainage paths are open,i have personally check them and the water runs flawesly but i wander the amount of water in the top of the U seal is from the door holes or not? are slipping from the door panel plastic cover?

Gentlemen, i wonder if that is a door seal problem. Water from rain is collected inside the seal groove (front part), thankfully does not go inside the floor mat but there is no quarantee that will happen next time in a heavier rain. No water in the rest of the seal (rear part) ,is this a seal problem or not? That water comes from the rain-drop holes of the door or comes from the top of the pillar? Here in GR we call them ''sink" (they drive the water from the top of the wind shield down). I have changed one year ago the plastic cover inside the door panel.

BAD news, last night another ''Hit and run'' incident, someone hit me in the same spot that i had already have been hit few months ago. As you can see there is a rust spot from previous hit, i was parked in different area but they hit me in the same spot, thankfully the plastic trim stayed in place. The driver's door does not open properly. 😠

I have applied the 3rd solution in all of my belts and still fit in the lock buckle, the cover is very thin, no problem with the lock tongue. There are Belt Holders in the market to keep in place.

Different car but the same problem, the solutions are: Magnetic Seat Belt Buckle https://www.ebay.com/itm/364685038283 High-Elastic Silicone Seat Belt Buckle Covers https://arcoche.com/products/tesla-model-3-and-model-y-high-elastic-silicone-seat-belt-buckle-covers Leather Car Seat Belt Buckle Clip Protector https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005837999892.html

''I will sue anybody for everything'' is one of their motto. An example: Gerald Wiegert sued Goodyear-Vantage cigarettes-Autoweek car publication, all the proceeds from those court victories went to finance Vector's first car, the Vector W8, (with this interiror) which left the automaker's California factory in 1989. ''money first" manufactures rule: Service https://braketechparts.co.uk/products/land-rover-parking-brake-module and repair https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-10216489/Electronic-parking-brakes-norm-cost-682-fix.html

The main reason that i wanted a Flip key (and a Keyless entry) is that i hate the ''jingling'' noise. I have the main key, the alarm control, 2 keys for the steering wheel-gear lever anti-thief lock na done for the gas tank cap (the old cap had a lock damage and i had to replace the cap). I potholes-road bumps or in left-right suddenly turns the ''jing-jing'' noise drives my crazy.

Τhe same with electronic hand-brake in sports cars, the manufactures supposed saved some money but instead caused to the users (drivers) too many problems which cost a lot of money (repairs).

Every time you come down to the National Highway no matter the car you know that there is a risk. Even guys with Maserati,Porsche,Mercedes,BMW,Audi,ferrari have been in huge problems (even envolved in death accidents) here in GR with speed like yours. Still i would love to have a flip key and have my trunk raise as @R_U_AFA had done (still waiting for the video), would give me ''joy'' in my Auto Life.

There are cars on the road ''worst'' than Felicia. Every day and especially every weekend we have fatal crashes-accidents with modern cars (with airbags-ABS,ESP etc).

A video with the 5th door lifting-up would be excellent. A ''luxury'' touch for our car. 😋

Skoda 1.3 Felicia cam cover, part No: 047103724 441010711256 is for his gasket?

Remind my the dirty trick of old time taxi drives with excessive diesel emissions, before the MOT few gasoline in the tank to be mixed with diesel and for a while to give lower emission numbers.

The one in the middle? https://tecdoc-s3.alpics.info/pics/139/52078900.JPG

First look from a donor car or from spare parts store in your area which are originals and then for aftermarket. In first option check for rust-cracks before installment.

The so called "pseutokapaki" ? Has a gasket, difficult to find an original and many use Vika.

Such an exoensive oil and every 3000km? Even supecars have not such a short oil change intetval.

@nta16 The top seller car brands here are Toyota and then Hyundai and Suzuki. Germany is one of the most hated countries here, we heavy slander the German politicians and many people boycot German products. We consider Felicia as a car with CZ body-metals-plastics-gearbox etc and only few German electronics parts.

Oil change interval with this at 7000 Km or less?

We already have talk about it https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/129452-felicia-combi-13-what-oil/page/12/#findComment-5931339

The leak was from the gasket of engine oil drain pan?

I use Molybdenum grease CX80 ''allows smooth operation of joints, steering knuckles, bearings and axles''

So with an oil one scale thinner the oil leaks stopped?
