So you have one key for the ignition and another one for fuel cap-trunk door?

I have use in the past Amsoil, excellent product. Red Line were and are far the more expensive engine oils in the GR market, for example 1 bottle of 10W-40 (basically is 946 ml) costs 25,00 € so the cost for 5 of them is 125 € plus the oil filter plus the work from the mechanic and the cost for an oil change is skyrocket.

Have i posted this in the past? I can't remember. https://www.zimmerframeracing.com/koni_shocks/index.htm Koni rebuild in a BMW motorcycle. Another happy Koni user.

I have different car than yours but i have Koni shock absorbers installed for many years. Rebuilt them in 2023 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/519830-koni-street-rebuilt/ with original Koni parts plus one year warranty, always happy with their perofmane.

Yes i do, now only 20W-50 and 0W-20 can be found here https://www.skroutz.gr/c/1228/Ladia-Autokinhtou/m/22964/Millers-Oils.html and in some other stores but for Industrial or Truck-Bus use.

@nta16 my main concern in cases like this (engine oil in GR climate conditions) are these parametres: Viscosity at 100 °C Viscosity Index

Well done, the grease isn't too much?

It's pdf is huge (13 pages) but crucial information are missing, that's not good for me. https://www.ravenol.de/storage/app/uploads/share/SDB/Sdb_RAVENOL%20HVE%20High%20Viscosity%20Ester%20Oil%20SAE%2010W-50_1115101_en_ALL.pdf Flash point 258 °C Density 854 kg/m³ at 15 °C Kinematic viscosity 129 mm²/s at 40 °C I have to make a comparison with some other 10W-50 engine oils.

From Amsoil site. There is a 10 'C difference between 40 and 50 grade.

Totally i have used 3 times 5W-40 in my Felicia, the 2 times i wasn't happy with the noise of the engine and the 3rd time wasn't happy with the oil pressure light staying on a little longer than normal. So the 5W-40 is ''Finished'' for me.

You didn't had a warning red light in the cluster? Weird. So the mechanic refill the brake fluid reservoir, remove the air bubbles and now the car turns-off when you turn the key (as in a normal car) ?

Unfortunately only VIKA here in GR. In CZ stores? https://www.nd-skoda-volkswagen.cz/cz/autodily-skoda/univerzalni-dily-skoda/37181-modul-zapalovani.html Autodoc? https://www.autodoc.gr/exartimata-aftokiniton/monada_anaflexis_egkefalos-10346/skoda/felicia/felicia-ii-6u1/11193-1-3

I have use in the past this: Motul 300v Power Synthetic Car Oil 5W-40 100% synthetic racing engine oil based on ESTER Core technology Improves the performance of latest generation engines Resistance to time and high temperatures The acoustic result from the engine was like rattle snake.

https://www.ravenol-direct.uk/ravenol-hve-10w-50-engine-oil.html Ester oil and High mileage oil match?

Unfortunately another ''hit and run'' incident to my Trusty. A white colour vehicle make reverse, hit my car while it was parked and run away. The majority of insurances here have the ''bonus malus protection'' which means you have no consequences if you hit a bit another car, there will be no penalty in the fees. So why he didn't left his license number or even a telephone? Because he was a local with very low insurance coverage or an non-local with no papers at all.

For me these are exaggerations. and this one

Like this? https://www.alifragis.com.gr/thumbnails/46/1/fpgal_14310/fit/0/255.255.255/1000x1000/1467610199_0.jpg/format.webp Always hate them.

Something like this? https://mycar.gr/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/product_35395-1.jpg

This is a patent that i have made for that speaker's tray so wont produce noise in bumpy roads. An Ω shape rubber stripes in both sides.

As we speaking about noise: in the past i had that tray 'fixed'' together with the plastic parts with magnets, the tray was very stable and no noise coming from the up and down movement in road bumbers but there was a problem. Many times when i was in a hurry to load the trunk (and having forgot that the tray is not lifting via plastic cordes) i hit my forehead on it while bending with luggage in hand. Embarrasing...

I have tested in the past to have that ''speakers tray'' fixed, saved me from the noise while bouncinhg in rough roads but i had problem loading laggages in the trunk so i abandon this. The original pair of the plastic holders broke after some years and i have made a patent with black naylon cordes but i have found them in a CZ store and bought 2 sets.

I don't know what to do with this part, i don't know it's name in english because here in GR we call it ''etajera'' because many auto terms are a ''loan'' from France because we had relationship in the first years that cars came (and we assembly) here back in 1910. This is a photo from internet. and looks naked and bad.
