I had 94972 Km and i had 67,2 litres then 94976 Km and i had 67,6 litres (that's only 4 km distance so i don't count this), refuel to the top and zeroing the TC-6 because the trip begins. 2 adults, gas tank full and some luggages in the trunk, Highway (100-110 km speed) and Mountain Roads. 95050 Km and i had 4,5 litres (Total fuel consumption) which means 75 km distance so fuel consumption % was 6,08 ltr/km or 46.46 British MPG (excellent). Few luggages added and some light traffic, Highway (110-120 km speed) and Mountain Roads, 95133 Km and i had 9,8 litres (Total fuel consumption) which means 83 km distance so fuel consumption % was 6,38 or 44.28 British MPG (very good). The results from the end of the trip in the next post, the new radiator and the new coolant helped a lot in Fuel Consumption sector.

In the gas station you refill till the pump stops automaticallly (the well know ''clack'' sound) or you push for more fuel?

Check the clamps in fuel line (in and Out),i had mine loose in the past and gas leak plus bad smell in the engine bay. Fuel filter is new? Spark plugs checked? Cabin filter is clean?

Felicia 1300cc Petrol 2000 year model.

OE/OEM Part Number 6U0721335 Manufacturer Part Number 6U2721335D The weird think is that they give some other codes for Skoda as 008 039 260 008 039 415 8039256 8039415 Mhe most expensive are sold as ''set"

By the way: the first years of Εbay.cο.Uk here in GR many start buying items without paying attention to this, the first ''Oh No'' came from the guys which bought hadlights.

I remember in Youtube, Jaguar owners making complains that their car had interior parts from Ford trucks, Maserati from Chrysler etc.

For educational purposes: the side repeater cover of Felicia is orange, i have found that some others (even crystal clear) from VW models as Golf/Polo with a bit different front shape can fit, i have them for more than 15 years. I go to a VW parts store and i give them the VW code, they ask me ''which VW model you have'' and when i answer ''a Felicia'' the look me in a weird way. 😃

Different position and different tasks. The gauge on your panel takes signal from the thermostat switch and the radiator switch gives commands to the radiator fan. A dirty or with corrosion in pins or with broken plug-cables or faulty thermostat switch will give wrong commands to your gauge and the needle will make you crazy with it's indications. A faulty radiator switch will not give proper commands to your fan or can make it not start at all. You should remove properly any air bubbles from your system,i live in Greece,not so hot as in the Middle east but we have similar problems.

Does not work with Felicia,i have personal experience and i have posted photos.

May 2025, morning in Highway. I will take some photos now where the temperatures rises more and in City Traffic. Let's see how the new radiator/coolant helped the Fuel Consumption, i have data to compare with previous years.

While returning from the trip: 94778 Km and i had 53,4 litres 94940 Km and i had 63,4 litres ,that’s 6.13 ltr/Km or 46.08 British MPG (very good) Then the City Traffic started and unfortunately the fuel consumption start rising. 94948 Km and i had 64,4 litres 94957 Km and i had 65,5 litres 94961 Km and i had 66,4 litres 94972 Km and i had 67,2 litres, that's 11,87 ltr/Km or 23.80 British MPG (not so good). and counting...

As about the G12 plus i have some results after some Km distance. Of course since i changed the radiator i have not the same situation to compare, the system should be worked better since the old radiator had a lot ''in it's back'' after almost 25 years of use. I use the TC-6 and the Total indication (with the Greek letter Σ) to compare the fuel consumption. 94592 Km and i had 40,5 litres 94619 Km and i had 43,6 litres This was in City Traffic only, It's not the distance for which you can draw correct conclusions, it was 11.48 ltr/Km or 24.61 British MPG (not bad) After a while i had to make a trip (National Highway and Mountain Route but not in high rpm) 94778 Km and i had 53,4 litres ,that’s 6.16 ltr/Km or 45.86 British MPG (very good) To be continued...

As about the lambda sensor, learn from my mistake. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/503246-confusion-with-bosch-lambda-sensors/ Buy the original and not some aftermarket and do not believe the seller ''according to the refference this is for you''. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/503246-confusion-with-bosch-lambda-sensors/page/2/#findComment-5653435 Whatever your Felicia 1.6 has from the factory search and buy a new one exactly the same. We have plain OBD or OBD I and not OBD II so VAG-COM works fine with out port, some OBD II scanner devices not always. OBD11 is a scanner tool but has not those fancy applications that OBD II has. https://obdeleven.com/skoda In the past i have found and posted this: So forget the OBD II (also known as OBD 2).

I didn't took it, i mean i didn't asked for printing. I have some of them from the past but never had to study them because i don't understand completely plus no one (mechanic) ever asked me to see the previous ones.

Not all OBD scanners are the same, there is a topic here were another member bought and tried with an OBD scanner but failed. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/531622-%C5%A1koda-felicia-obd-port/ Here is my answer: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/531622-%C5%A1koda-felicia-obd-port/#findComment-5936408 You need a VAG-COM scanning. Another example: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485358-obd-2-scanner-that-will-work-with-felicia/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/470435-best-diagnostic-scanner-for-felicia-pickup/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/524233-obd-reader/page/2/ As for the bad emissions i would look first of all the Lambda sensor, he is the culprit for many ''bad things'' as wrong emissions, excessive fuel consumption etc, it happened to me in the past.

You are right, if i had time i could order from another brand as: LEMFÖRDER,SACHS,IMPERGOM,SKF etc and wait few days but the car was parked outside the repair-shop, the mechanic had time to fix it the same day so i agreed. @Thefeliciahacker what you suggest?

But i said them

but was in a plastic wrap and stored in a dark and cool shelf. 😄 Aside from jokes i had no other option because VIKA was immediately available, i wish i could buy from another brand but i can not find in the market hoses with that ''end'' to the thermostat. I have seen quality (often made in Italy) aftermarket hoses for example: https://petsastools.gr/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/solina-psigeion-autokinitou-t-352aa-2.jpg but... As for the silicone hoses i have the same ''issue'' plus a hesitation. https://motoiq.com/silicone-radiator-hoses-not-for-the-street/

That's why i wrote ''Hi-tech situations'' VIKA now delivers ''fresh'' products to your door. On the other hand i don't think i can find silicone hose for Felicia with the extended end (to thermostat).

6U0 412 355, few examples: https://kritosparts.gr/part.aspx?expression=6U0%20412%20355 https://www.maxxparts.eu/code/6U0412355 https://www.getparts.gr/index.php?category_id Done today. After few kilometres in a small Mountain Road and in City Traffic: the front-end is a bit more tighter than before, no vibrations starting from traffic light in low rpm or going from 2nd to 1st (and accelerate) for example while braking due to a front car sudden deceleration.

Hi-tech situations, now VIKA coolant hose with marking on it. 😄 On the other hand, i think the mechanic put the radiator fan screws in reverse. Thankfully he paid attention when i said to him to put the fibre washers (vibrations).

Here it is: As i have seen here: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/myktSWWjp88/hq720.jpg which i find it better than this way: https://autoservice-lepidas.gr/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/acdisinf-775x517.jpg

I laso found anothe plastic nozzle from WD-40 type sprays, remove the dettol's one and fit it. Worked perfect, no leaks and i spay some inside the air vents. like this: https://shop.errecom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/AB1084_Evaporator_Cleaner_ambientata_1500x1500_AUTO.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHci4glWoAE5MHo.jpg Next is inside air air cabin filter case.
