And yours with the stock you think is unbreakable? Already tried in the past when the car was new, broke the rear right triangle window, lift the stock door lock pin but the loud sound from the double siren make them to quit.

I wish things could be so easy as this...but they aren't. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qgjdetuyB9M

No "glitters" on the expandion cap but i wonder if (i say IF) some of them in the past have been inserted inside could make the pressure cap to don't work 100% properlyand let some coolant fumes to escape? The cap can be reassessemled and cleaned or if i try it i will damage the membrane?

I have the thought to install a washer (chrome) on the door panel to match the new door lock pin. Shall i use epoxy glue or glue for leathers or cyanoacrylate? For sure @nta16 will have some experience from Classic cars.

Non of them working in a tablet here in Greece, the ask to dowload the application. Things are different in GR, we can watch for free many things that others have to pay but we don't have tha adility to watch other countries Live cable tv. In the past whatever (movie, tv series episode etc) an American saw by paying for it in 24 hours we could watch it for free. On the other hand we don't care to pay to see a boxing match or the baseball finals. @Thefeliciahacker in every topic you mention the Brera and make comparison with the Felicia. Brera is a discontinued model which no one knows in US for example, isn't a Ford GT or ferrari F40 or Lamborghini Miura or Mercedes 300 SL or Buggati Veyron or Mc Laren F1 etc, it's not an exotic car that everyone must have as a point oif refference. Isn't something Special that we have to remember and those you have it already suffering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AvMwY336sE And i long as i live i will never return to 15W- for my Felicia. ''No matter what'' as Apollo Creed said to Rocky.

The switch or the illumination?

So if you rev your Felicia few times and let it work as is steady (no air flow toward to the radiator) for at least 10 minutes the temperature will drop down?

Here is in it's final status. Not good (day light) photo by the was but i was in a hurry. This is as it look at night, i asked from the electrician to give to that switch power from the windows switch so every time i open the light it will illuminate, look good huh?

This photo has a 6 minutes time difference with the previous, i am pleased that after so much revving the temperature does not rise above this point. The coolant flush and the new G12 made nothing but good to my Trusty.

The new ones are from Aluminium Alloy but with Chrome effect, bigger and very good looking, more convenient with better grip. Here was what i had, so make the comparison: I think the new ones are the Winners.

Here is the co-drivers door. So what's missing from that door panel? New door lock pins ! Here is the factory style, cheap plastic pins with that ''ring'' around it, never like them were not convenient, i replace them with the ones that you can see in the above photo, were from aluminium (same dimensions) with a checkered end for better grip. I had them for many years till i saw in aliexpress these and i bought them.

As for the record, thank God i didn't had to go to solutions like this: Holts Wondarweld is a professional cooling system repair product that’s designed to fix small cracks and holes in the cylinder head, engine block and head gasket.

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/424112-windscreen-rust-repair-to-stop-leak/ @R_U_AFA you put also sealant between the plastic cover and the factory windshield seal? https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/140139-felicia-windscreen-replacement/page/2/#findComment-5807167

I will put a mark on the radiator cap to see if it has a tendency to turn left and get loose. I will ckeck it. I thought 60.000 km.

Made in China? What calipers we need? They come with their own brackets?

That small lose it's not visible, i checked the hoses-connections,the thermostat housing no leak at all, everything is dry. The expansion tank is VIKA (not the cap) so maybe there is tiny loss of 100ml per year because the fitting isn't perfect , also i think i haven't check 3 hoses but 2 so i missed one https://ecanis.shop/media/image/product/84894/lg/motorkuehlung-110006516-mahle_cr-405-000s.webp and i wonder if there is a tiny leak from the radiator itself but i don't want to put any chemical ''sealant'' on it.

So after this ''torture'' i took a photo from the coolant temperature factory gauge, here is the highest point (as already knew it from the last trip) for my Trusty. I disassemble and clean the kit and returned home declaring a Victory !

Rev by hand, after a while the fan start spinning, took a photo then let it come to normal. This happened another 5 times at least, totally 7 times the fan start working and i think after so many minutes was more than enough for the test, if there would be a colour change it will occur already.

I drove the car for few minutes in low-middle rpm,the temperature rise and the fan start spinning. I parked the car in an alley, installed the kit drop some blue liquor and rev it by hand, the fan started again and this happened another 2 times. The whole liquor was moving left and right depending the rpm (idle- higher) but the colour didn't changed. I decide to insist more to be 100% sure that's why i made a (sloppy) tape work to ''seal'' it more and insist in higher rpm revving by hand.

Full details of the test soon.

236mm vented brake discs (as Felicia has) but we need diferent calipers, the point is: Which?

@Naze behind the door panel is a naylon sheet, sometimes gets worn-have holes-unpluged etc and it's not tight as it should be and does not seals properley, then there is no waterproofness and drops are comeind down and slowly are drived behind the pedals or the fuse box. If you open the panel check it and replace it if needed, you can buy thick naylon from a convenience or tools store store-cut it and apply it.

Ok, that Syphon tube must be filled with the blue liquor. I will post photos of the test.

Since we are not Rallymen, what is better for us: stock diameter vented disks or plain discs but bigger diameter and a bit bigger calipers?
