Skoda Felicia Pickup 1.3 MPi overheating/possible air pocket issue
I have to admit that i haven't read for Felicia that brake seals must be changed. I still have the original and i don't know where to search for new ones. 🙄

Oh really? No seals or any other modification? Compleately wash-up the previous DOT and refill with DOT5?

Too sloppy work that night, not only in cables but in connections-screws etc, imagine that they didn't use red-black cable so next time the electrician didn't knew which cable was the + and which the - Wasn't about the race buy for the nationality, those guys didn't knew what to do because simply till few years back they didn't had cars in their country, was forbidden by the Party to have private property. The owner of the store hired them to save money from salaries, he paid this few years later when the store closed due to competition and customer complains. These are my rear speakers, i won't install the same when it's time to change them.

I bought it without radio or speakers, empty. I went in a Car Sound store and they installed what they thought was proper. I didn't had the knowledge to suggest something to them but i didn't liked their work for example cables not through the door but outside (!) the panel and i never visited them again. I don't write the nationality of the installer because @Papez will call me again "racist". After few months i visited another Car Sound store, the electrician was suprised from the lousy work of the previous "shepherd" (as we call here any bad installer) and made many corrections.

I think mine has output power 50W x 4, if the rear need change in the future for sure i wouldn't put 130W. In front i have bought Peak 80 W and RMS 40 W

First time heard about ''I.C.E'' was back in 1999 in the Max Power magazine from UK. After few years here in GR we had young people with huge speakers-subwoofers-amplifiers having very loud music trying to impress other youngsters in the cities, we call them ''deaf horses" and laughing. Many times those idiots involved in crashes only because they didn't paid attention on the road or haven't heard the horn from another driver. Unfortunately the Traffic Police here shows too much tolerance to those morons which many times at 2 o'clock at night they waking us with their loud music as passing buy. Never really cared about loud music in the car, i prefer to hear the noises from the car especially in the Mountain roads, the choice of Watts was from the electrician back when i bought the Felicia, he installed 100W at front and 130W in the back. I have Alpine radio-cd-mp3 player and of course no amplifier.

Skoda Felicia hood scoop?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanUpdate: I made a patent to seal better the hood with the oval shape gasket of the engine bay. I took a sheet of soft self-adhesive insulation, put it above that gasket and closed the hood so this will create a mark of it's shape. then i took inside the hose and cut it. Then i went outside the road where the car was parked and i install it around the ''lips'' of the hood which bring fresh air inside the factory sponge air cabin filter. Yes i know doesn’t look very good but i won't go to a car-show. My main concern is that the gasket will touch that soft material and with the one-click of pressure will make a better ''sealing'' situation than before so no fumes from the engine can ''penetrate'' inside and then to the cabin. PS: That insulation material can stand high temperatures with no problem.

Felicia door Sill plate stickers
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanSomeone may say ''why you didn't remove the previous ones?" I didn't because this would take time and effort from the installer, plus more time to remove any glue remains plus if the work wasn't 100% good any small remain could cause a bulge below the new (and thin) carbon look tape. The car will not go to a show so no need to be a perfect look task. The photos are not so good and there are some reflections but you can get an idea. The project hasn't finished yet, i will install a set of Logo (stickers) on them in few days.

Felicia door Sill plate stickers
In GR we call them like ''foot door decorative stickers", in the first years i had a pair like this which basically i never liked but no many options those years-no internet buying etc so i kept them for a while. Before some years i decide to change them and i bought a stripe more thicker-no shinning with a carbon look, the guy which install them didn't told me that were shorter than it should be and when i realise the result i wasn't so happy. 😠Nothing great but the did their job but one day i had the thought to cover them with more darker carbon look tape which would fill those gaps too. I bought this type: and i install it above the existing one.

Yes. I had that dilemma in the early years but after of what i have read i never took the risk. I am not mechanic, i don't have a garage in my house and i don't want to have a sudden brake problem while driving Sport style in Mountain routes.

It's on the pipe which in the end has a hose which ends on the radiator. It's the best way to drain the coolant even when it's hot, no mess. If you remove the hose which is on the radiator (low and right) then some coolant will get spilled on the protective metallic plate and later this will bring a bad smell on the cabin.
