How to do the Throttle Body Alignment with VCDS

Do i need to use primer or just light sandpaper work and then black (mat) spray?

I will paint them black to match the black colour of the panel-handle. 😄

Sadly but i can not install a round black mesh although would look very pretty. https://www.bazos.cz/img/1/168/196943168.jpg The factrory panel's hole isn't round in the outer line.

The topic is very old but i was looking for informations and i found it. Here is an exaggeration at 5.25'' and 400W https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251597468656 I want to replace my 25 years old Pioneer (front speakers) and i don't want to keep the factory grey mesh, i am searching to find speakers with their own black mesh cover to install. For example:

@ludvig beware of the coolant additives, learn from my problems: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/502254-mocool-2-brands-of-g11-antifreeze-black-sludge/

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.

It's very easy.

Never heard of it but i have found this https://www.nikav.gr/index.php/en/oils/brake-fluid-dot-8-205-ltr-detail?tmpl=component&format=pdf Use in Forklifts although beneath in the description says DOT 3.

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?

You have G11 or G12?

That's mine, never above this point. I have 80-85 'C radiator switch.

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?

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.

These gauges are for C3, as replacement to factory ones. No need for the right side extra gauges ,all in one, expensive though.

This is from a ferrari. Looks better huh?

I 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?

I know it's not for us...

No 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

Unfortunately no OBD II port in our car so no fancy digital gauges and applications like Torque. In my plans was to install a small 7'' tablet in my dashboard but...
