I am in 45% ,for first time so hi, i was in 25% with G11 but now i change it and in winter i will know if i was right ir wrong.

I would like the colour to be more red than now which looks like pink (one click darker). With the old G11 (blue) the level line was vey distinguive, now every time i had to get very close to see, i will throw some coloring matter inside. 😁

I am in the middle of my vacations, with high summer temperatures here the G12 goes very well, no overheating or any alarming indication. Comparing to G11 i can not say that there is some sort if "huge" improvement but i thing it's one click better in "temperature recall" ,i mean when the coolant returns to normal operating temperatures before reaches the limit where the radiator fan start spinning. I think this will reflected in fuel consumption, we will see soon..

Last year with the 5W-40 i had a red light dashboard warning for 2 seconds in cold starts, @R_Blue has not so may i assume that has not any oil pressure issues with the existing engine oil that has?

So an oil temperature gauge isn't more helpful than a oil pressure?

Stick with ghe originals, i have done some experiments in the past with other types and the results always were not good.

My worst temperature scores were with stock thermoswitch (87-92) and that damned coolant sensors with the yellow ring.

And when realise that has problem with the pressure of yhe existing oil what's next?

I have never seen that number for about 20 years that i have gauge (old and newer) in my console, except in case of a problem. Full heated (for example in city traffic for about two hours) in summer it barely shows 90 'C, while traveling is at least 2-4 'C less.

Now things have changed, an example: https://www.amazon.com/WATERWICH-Temperature-Electronic-Sensor-Black-Automotive/dp/B0819JSBY9

I had one in the past, a custom hexagon tube fitted and the gauge had his own sensor. Was teplacing the factory switch although some mechanics (back then) disagree because with the new aftermarket gauge yes you had precise indications but no red warning light in the dashboard (as you could have with the factory).

Skoda 078 117 021 A isn't the part's code? Many buying options here: VW group Oil Cooler

3 times my electrician failed to ''marry'' sensor from othes gauges to other instrument, never worked properly that's why assumed that this is some kind of ''general rule''.

Every gauge has his own sensor and it's calibrated, switcing sensor and gauges created only a mess. TC-6 has a simple plastic sensor, compared to another (simple and cheap) digital thermometer is very close in indications. I have it to measure the incoming air (after the air filter), just to use it, i don't relay on it in something crucial.

While searching: Chladič oleje Škoda Favorit https://www.skoda-dily.cz/nahradni-dil/038117021a-chladic-oleje-tdi-cina-28772.html This is for 1.9 TDI https://pragos.cz/veterani/clanek?id=1049&business=1 https://aukro.cz/olejovy-chladic-skoda-1000-100-110-120-130-6971221175 For older Skoda models.

OK then, i the future i will use the IR gun and the digital thermometer, i have them with me.

First attempts with the cellphone IR application camera that @nta16 suggested me. I am not in pc right now, does anyone can zoom and tell the difference? Any conclusions?

From another car £410.18 But i saw this too https://m.antallaktikaonline.gr/nrf/13865170?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&tb_prm=18646437765&gshp=1&gad_source=1 Big price difference !

Felicia Pick-up White/Dove Mixing code 1021, Skoda code T7T7 , Aerosol No HFA381058.

It's not in the service manual, it's written in the car's paper that you bought it, says the VIN the paint code and the description of the vehicle. Is on the Registration that you show in the traffic Police stop, an example: https://d23vfvjlkuzpf0.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/03/adeia-kykloforias-paradeigma.webp

In GR is written in the car registry paper, for example in mine says: Silver 431 (not sure for but is a 3 digit number) so any painter in reoair shop can find the proper colour from his supplier. ______________ Where is the color code on a Skoda Felicia? The paint code for all ŠKODA models can be found in the boot of the vehicle. _______________ Where is my Skoda paint code? Paint Code Location Check under the boot lid, inside the rear compartment, under the mat, or on the spare tyre wheel well. A Skoda Colour Code is typically 2,3 or 4 numbers long, but can also be a letter/number combination. If you can't find the sticker on the car some dealers will put it inside the service log book.
