You can use Dot 5.1 and change it after 2-3 years. There are quality Dot 4 with high boiling point. Your antifreeze now is G11 or G12?

Skoda Felicia Pickup 1.3 MPi overheating/possible air pocket issue
Did you remember to unscrew gently the expnsion tank cap so any possible air will come out? The coolnt sensor's ring is Yellow or Blue? What's the range of the radiator switch? For example 90-95 'C? That means that the thermostat is full opened but 110 'C is very high. In my Felicia, one click above the 90 'C which means 92-93'C and the radiator fan starts spinning for a while.

No need to buy and install new parts without removing the air bubbles from your coolant system. The thermostat sensor is OK? It's clean beneath? The cables are OK? Your radiator fan works properly? The radiator switch works?

Skoda Felicia Pickup 1.3 MPi overheating/possible air pocket issue
All the connections are tight? The expansion tank cap is OK? For sure there is air inside the system, that's a bit normal when you have removed parts etc but it's easy to remove it in our system which has no radiator cap. 1) You make in a repair shop a ''pressure test'' to see if there are any leaks of coolant, if not then 2) Fill the system till the level in the expansion tank is in the middle, run the car slowly in the road at least 20' so the thermostat will open and the coolant level will drop 3) Squeeze the main hose many times, take a towel, grab the cap and turn it loose very slowly 4) You will hear s ''Hssss'' sound, that's good means air from the system is escaping out, when there is no sound screw the cap and turn off the car 5) Let the car cool normally and then check the level, add some one click above the middle between the Min and the Max marks. Air inside the coolant system means temperature rising. No air means higher pressure so you have protection from overheating.

I wish i could install C2 Corvette style instruments gauge.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThese gauges are for C3, as replacement to factory ones. No need for the right side extra gauges ,all in one, expensive though.

Skoda Felicia hood scoop?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI wonder why they do the dimensions so different? It's supposed to be for Felicia. 12,5 cm Height - 15 cm Depth x 66 cm Length In the hood the dimensions of the factory grille are 66 cm and 5 cm, what's the reason to be 12,5 height? The depth also is huge, why 15?

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNo local (GR) technician will accept to work in a project like this, the mosy common excuse is ''does not worth it, lot of money, it's an old car no need to do it" etc. The majority of modifications that i have done to my car were from foreign technicians (Moldavia, Romania for example), even for my central switch lock i dad problems with local electricians: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/525673-felicia-with-a-central-lock-unlock-switch/page/2/#findComment-5883950 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/525673-felicia-with-a-central-lock-unlock-switch/page/3/#findComment-5884492

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAnother example from a very old car (C2 Corvette) with ''barrel rim'' steering wheel they had it back then but today what's the reason to keep it? An owner in a restomod project decide to replace it with a modern-look and more practical Sport style. Well done Man !- I wish i could install C2 Corvette style instruments gauge.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanHere is another example from a C2 Corvette restomod car. I wish i could have such gauges, i know that @nta16 may not agree but in US you can do anything you want in your car.- Škoda Forman Front Suspension Issue
6U9412303 115450330 are the part codes, here has 3-4 euros. It's nice that you have the knowledge and the space to work, for sure i can not do that kind of repairs lying down in the street so every time i visit a repair-shop and the car is lifted-up i ask from the mechanic to make an inspection to wheels-suspension-steering rack-ball joint etc and very often i make a visual check on the CV gaiters.- Škoda Forman Front Suspension Issue
I wonder how you could drive this way for so long? It was a matter of time that a bad thing will bring a second and as a chain reaction the disaster will come Inevitably. Sachs are good for normal driving. I have changed my Top Mount when i had my previous Koni in 3rd scale and i replace them again after the refurbish work.- Fuel / petrol cap replacement
