Warning error code
D.FYLAKTOS replied to frenchinvader's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanFor sure the fuse-bulbs are OK since you have the blinks. As @R_U_AFA said check your alarm, discontinue it (remove it's own plug) and made a test, if the multiple blink stops the it's the culprit because it was giving the command. ''Retirez temporairement l'alarme de votre voiture (débranchez-la). Si les clignotements cessent, c'est bien elle qui est en cause''.

I'm considering what I can do to reduce smoky exhaust - any tips?
Lambda sensor it's not for morning start only. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/503246-confusion-with-bosch-lambda-sensors/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/503246-confusion-with-bosch-lambda-sensors/page/2/#findComment-5652665 Back then the car started-accelerated ''as it should be'' but due to that lambda sensor (which was ''OK'' by the parts catalogue) the fuel consumption was 14,7 ltr/100 Km or 19.21 UK Mpg which was far the worst number i had ever seen.

IF it's the stock (NGK) a replace with a new (NGK only) would do only good.

The Lambda sensor is the original with so many Km's on it?

Yes, it's the only way to read them no matter if it's amateurish like OBD 11 or Professional like a VAG-COM scan tool in a repair shop. You also need an emissions check from a repair shop,will help you pass the MoT test.

You can reset the ECU very easy by yourself BUT if there is an error code for a real problem this will show-up again. You have to make an ECU-test to see if there is a specific code that will guide you, changing random parts won't help to solve the problem, it's a ''guess'' job.

gearbox questions
Ι saw that spring in a YT video long time ago: Is factory installed or aftermarket? Many times in idle i hear a ''kar-kar-kar'' noise from the engine bay, i press the clutch pedal-release it and the noise stops. I wonder @Papez that spring could help the reset or it's there for another reason?

Caddy MK2 Pickup Help
Pulleys and tensioners can be found but https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7118881588 https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_1270946 i don't know details about @CptAhab model (cc, year etc). https://webautocats.com/etka/volkswagen/ca/181/109050 I have posted photos-parts etc in a topic, i had the same problem. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/524227-skoda-felicia-gearbox-leak/ A simple pressure test in a repair-shop could show the problematic spot. A hose, the water pump gasket, a connention?

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI found another photo a bit more helpful: I see no leak from the right side of the gasket (as we see the photo).

Do i have an oil leak?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAlso visible below the spark plug. Do i have an oil leak and from where? Is dripping from previous procedure which didn't cleaned properly? A bolt tighten would fix this? Do i need a new gasket? And which one?

Do i have an oil leak?
Few years back i noticed below the valve cap (here in GR we call it ''pseudo-cap") some dirt, was after the valve adjustment. The mechanic said that he used the same gasket with the add of some gasket glue, i went to his repair-shop, he tighten the screws, clean the area and for some years everything were OK. The above photo is from internet, below is mine as is now. Take a look from the left side as we look the engine bay. Although the gasket show some signs of wear i don't think that oil or fumes dripping from it but take a look in the base, some gunk (dirt) is gathered. Things are worst on the right side.

Skoda Felicia ashtray modification
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThose small led lights are ON only for a while, few seconds only. The amber for a set of extra warning light (while parking), the green for the rear camera (ON while the car is in reverse) and the blue for those extra bulbs on the front lights (that \ / shape small beam that i have discribed in the past for very dark one way roads) which are ON only for 2-3 minutes. At daylight all of them are in OFF mode.

Skoda Felicia ashtray modification
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThose photos are old, about 13-14 years ago. When i decide to change the centra console for 2nd time then the 1st project cancelled. So i bought another used ashtray, i marked-drilled and made round holes for the switches which this time would have round shape and a led light when they were in ON position. Unfortunately due to an USB crash i have lost some of my pictures and among them were those with the procedure so i have to show only the final results. Things didn't went 100% right, i could made the holes 1 mm lower so the ashtray (as a drawer) could go full back and fit perfect but now it's very difficult to do it.

Aftermarket rear parking sensors
Many years back after damaging both my rear light while try to parking i decise to go for a parking sensors but my car's electrician prevented me. Yes it's in many cars but that ''beep-beeep-beeeep'' is extremely annoying plus you don't have a completely image of what is going on in the back. A rear vier mirror with an 180 degrees camera is a Saviour,i have posted photos from mine, no matter if it's night-rain-for you can park far better than with parking sensors.

Skoda Felicia rear light, I saw something strange
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanThe first ones (factory) were from HELLA made in Germany, those made in Cz. There is no consistency in Chinese products no matter if it's a Led light or camera mirror, one day the list is full the very next day "this product not excists". No spare parts available, if it damaged even a little bit or broke you send it for recycle.

Skoda Felicia rear light, I saw something strange
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI have seen this in the past with Maserati parts,exactly the same as in a Ferrari but more expensive, the same with Bentley parts which are exactly the same with a VW model (since VW owns the Bentley) but also more expensive ! Almost identical. I wonder if next time (which i don't wish it) worth to buy a set of Chinese.

Skoda Felicia rear light, I saw something strange
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanTake a look a Chinese from Skoda-parts.com half the price of here in GR (in UK shops the original has 51 euro). https://www.skoda-parts.com/data/items/352/5fa278cc01ba2_xl.jpg Has a gasket on https://www.skoda-parts.com/data/items/352/5fa2808f140ab_xl.jpg plus the PMMA letter, the mark from the molding like the original etc. https://www.skoda-parts.com/data/items/322/5e2eb66ae69a9_xl.jpg isn't this strange? In the future i wonder where i could find a set of new gaskets?

Skoda Felicia rear light, I saw something strange
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanAs you can see the original had no gasket so i had to use the one from the existing. The left side was good but the right side had some marks of deteriorating. which means if there is another accident and try to remove it it maybe cut in pieces of became as ''toast'' as we say here (many pieces like detritus). As you can see from the factory they have used hot iron to ''erase'' the Skoda Logo and the part number, the question is why? They have the stamp Hella made in Czech Republic other letters as PMMA, marks etc as the previous but why they ''blurred'' those two things?
