I wanted it to stand out a lot, not just a little bit and a put some JB Weld epoxy glue (Temperature resistant up to 300 ° C ,Water resistant and steam test, Resists oils, acids and chemicals) in the bottom. Here is the final result: I will install this in the next oil change which means in few weeks hopefully with no issues. By the way, the washer is too tight so not removable. 😎

I wanted to do this many years ago but always something was happened and i was delay it but this year the time came for this, i will install a magnetic oil drain plug to have some extra protection ''just in case''. There are many of them in the market, some fancy from aluminium (i don't trust them) some stainless etc but wanted to do something by myself so i bought one from a Skoda parts shop send it to a metal-repair shop which has a lathe machine because in my mind i had the idea to implant a neodymium magnet which is very strong.

The 9mm hexagon screw, then pull the metal plate (it's there for security reasons) and gently unscrew the cable. Be extremely careful to don't pull it towards the bumper too much otherwise would be ''unclipped'' from the gauge cluster. Here is the other end on the cluster. Inside the hard plastic hose is the wire with a square tip,take the chance to lubricate it a bit (the wire not the tip).

The Winter came so what's better chance to make a Fuel Consumption test now that i have new radiator and new coolant? City driving which means too much traffic, short routes in low speed etc the worst scenario for bad Mpg. 95962 Km in the Odometer and at the day of measurement was 96994 Km so the distance was 1032 Km (1031,4 in the trip meter) According to the TC-6 the Total consumption (Σ) was 100,4 ltr so the Average fuel consumption was 9,72 ltr/100 Km (29.06 British MPG) which is a fantastic result for City traffic for this old design engine ! 🤩 The Average Ø indication on the TC-6 was 10 ltr which is very close. The next test was few kilometres in City traffic, then in Highway (till 110 km speed only) and Mountain roads with 2 persons and some luggage, the weather was cold in the beginning some rain afterwards and sun with clouds in the end. First of all sorry about the dust, we had many rainy days here and no time for car wash, the traffic was a bit heavy sometimes and later in Mountain roads i didn't push the engine more than 4000 rpm due to rain. 97187 at the end of the travel (224 distance in the Trip meter) According to the TC-6 the Total consumption (Σ) was 13,9 ltr so the Average fuel consumption was 6,20 ltr/100 Km (45.56 British MPG) a very good result. The Average Ø indication on the TC-6 was 6,2 ltr which is identical.

I have done it in my 1.3 no problem at all,just be gently with the screw beside-slacken it and pull the cable grabbing it from the base out also gently. Do not pull it with force otherwise many problems can occur. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/320528-replacing-felicia-speedometer-cable/ Also be extra careful to not pull it out from the socket of the cluster gauge!

I will vote for this, a strap like the one that the 5th door (trunk door) has. I strap with a rivet would fit perfect.

I know that store,first was Autodily itself and was accepting only Bank transfer payment,lot of delay and fees. Now things must changed. I found those rings from Uk at 20 euro total cost, a new set of Locks has about 23 euro and except those 2 rings you can keep some parts ''just in case'' for the future.

Looks out of stock https://www.sp-el.cz/opravny-dil-vlozky-zamku-dveri-krouzek I wonder about the shipping rate https://www.amd-autodily.cz/karoserie-narazniky-skla/opravny-dil-vlozky-zamku-dveri-krouzek.html 5.59 the item and 24.99 the shipping !!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/404088756237 On the other hand i am thinking, if i buy the whole set or found a used one the mechanic couldn't remove that Ω shape part and installed in mine?

Unfortunately the @Thefeliciahacker who has some tips for this project is no longer in the forum.

I wonder in my case: all it's missing is this part? eBayLock Cylinder Door Lock Repair Kit Left/Right for SKODA F...Your satisfaction is a top priority for us.

The left-right movement (lock-unlock) on one lock is opposite in the other.

I have a similar problem,from driver's side unlocks but does not lock. The mechanic said that a temporary solution can be applied but won't last long, so or i will change it with the passenger's lock or i have to leave it as is.

The mechanic did it, i provide him the kit plus the diagram above. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/129224-felicia-short-shifter/page/2/#findComment-5855319

I have done it in the past in my 1.3, replace everything with a kit (not just this part).

If you try to fix it yourself you will scratch the paint and it's not 100% for sure that the alignment would be as it was original from the factory. Someone hit that car in the past,take a look mine, twice in the same spot. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/527414-doors-scratched-in-my-felicia/#findComment-5930839 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/527414-doors-scratched-in-my-felicia/#findComment-5979750 You need to visit a body repair-shop.

In the past happened to me,some years back an old man in the gas station took 3-4 efforts to fill the tank and this ruined my MPG calculation. Yesterday in another gas station i asked ti ''fill it till the trigger drops'' and after a while the employee said ''it's OK now'' by my instict said ''no way'' and i was true, the litres were less than expected and the needle in the cluster gauge was not in the Full mark. i was in a hurry with no time to refill it but i will have this in mind for the next,if it happens again then something is wrong (with the gas pump or there is air inside my tank trapped).

Here in GR (back in those years were the radio/cassette was optional) the electrician was asking you: ''do you want the radio Off the switch or On?" which means ''do you want to turn-on the radio itself or after you turn the switch in 1st scale?" The benefit was that you could hear music when the car was off (waiting in a parking lot, siting with your girlfriend in the sunset etc) but the drawback was that it was pulling current straight from the battery and some guys forgot it open all night and the next morning the battery was low and couldn't start the car.

Even aftermarket trunk covers have that _Π_ shape to fit left-right on the I I shape of the body metal. https://www.skoda-dily.cz/nahradni-dil/vanfelhtb-gumovy-koberec-do-kufru-hatchback-gumarny-zubri-43911.html

Τhe holes are for the clips of the Ω shape plastic panel that is missing, in the centre there are two metal columns like I I shape,this is the main support for this part. The whole area is covered by factory carpet and behind it are the cables for the rear lights, the wire for the trunk latch.

No, i my Felicia was ''empty'' so i grab the chance and installed noise insulation sheets. You can also cover it with self-adhesive gray carpet.

My bad, i thougth was like mine, one piece in left-right and one in the middle. For the Van shows this https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/etka/skoda/fel/101/867300/ with the centre piece only 6U9863485
