  1. I remembered the "you have lost power and torque and that's a fact". How the @Camera will make one? Is he a metal technician? The exhaust manifold and the pipes-muffler is the last piece, first has lot (and expensive) things to do with the engine.
  2. There is no "fun to drive" even when you are in a Mountain Route when the situation is like this. Especially in summer the situation was awful, 8 cars at lest behind a heavy and slow vehicle, sweat, the car had high coolant temperature, slow speed and irritation to the maximum.

  4. Obligation to mix gasoline with biofuels According to article 15A of Law 3054/2002, from 1.1.2019 the gasoline consumed domestically in vehicles contains pure bioethanol or bioethers produced from alcohols of biological origin. The percentage of bioethanol or alcohol of biological origin used for the production of bioethers was set at 1% for the year 2019 and 3.3% for the year 2020 and subsequent years. By decision of the Minister of Environment and Energy, this percentage can be increased after the year 2020. https://ypen.gov.gr/energeia/prasines-metafores/viokafsima/ In general, the hot climate of Greece does not help mixing gasoline with bioethanol. From what I have read, it is mandatory in Greece from 2020 onwards to mix at least 3.3%. Unfortunately I don't remember the source or if anything has changed. Second stop comparing with Holland and Germany, they have a much colder climate and mixing is much easier. Academic debate, of course, since here in Greece there is no E10, nor do the companies announce the percentage of ethanol content of the gasoline they sell. https://www.insomnia.gr/forums/topic/804379-βενζίνη-ε5/?do=findComment&comment=59585534
  5. For sure but everything must balanced together and not separately. After lighting all those parts plus work on manifold, valves, carburettor etc is going to be an everyday car?

  7. I don't work in laboratory and i have no time and money to send gasoline examples abroad for tests. https://bioethanol.nl/el/2022/05/03/is-there-bio-ethanol-in-shell-v-power/ https://support.shell.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115005935369-What-is-Ethanol https://www.drive.gr/news/ti-simainei-i-ypohreotiki-anameixi-benzinis-me-bioaithanoli-apo-2019 https://www.insomnia.gr/forums/topic/804379-βενζίνη-ε5/?do=findComment&comment=59585534
  8. A 3-3,5 hour trip this way could take 5 hours, i have seen in the past even 8-10 cars behind a truck-bus-tank truck. Especially in summer was a nightmare, lots of accidents when drivers tried to make an overtake, now with the wider road NO accidents.
  9. I stopped using Shell when i learn about Ethanol in their gasoline.
  10. Not always, here in GR when you buy a car with no factory unit intalled the electrician always asks you: Do you want the stereo to work anytime (even when the car is Off) or only when you turn the key? Some people want to hear music while the car ir parked and engine Off, ruins a bit the battery but i some cases helps (romantic dates 💗 ).
  11. One of the major problems in North Evia was this, in front of you a truck or a bus and all the other car behind it, no space for an overtake, here we call that as ''train line". The latest years the situation improved. Now a visitor can make an excursion without a ''traffic'' problem and a local guy can run a bit faster.
  12. I ''know'' it by first hand, i have tested in my Felicia 4 different fuel additives and i have done many amateurish experiments in the past with plastics-hoses-O rings-washers-metal parts etc to see the affect of those additives in those parts.
  13. The driver's lock is the first victim of an amateur burglar, mine is destroyed thus and i wish i was remote central locking without the alarm. Now every time i want to lock my car for a while i have to go to the passenger's side or open the rear door push the drivers pin lock and close the door so all the locks are engaged.
  14. ''be nice to America or we will bring democracy to your country'' The try to destroy-ban the tobacco farms there and now everything is aboput Corn and ''climate crisis'' although those which preach about is travel with learjets, have luxury villas with tennis court, swimming pool etc. They use in Brazil ethanol many years ego but here in GR i hear nagging from some drives (with experience in tuning) about this.
  15. The noise is close to the grilles, water pump-altenator-radiator fan are away. It's like the blower fan to have some voltage (not proper) and try to spin a bit. @robchap here is about the dashboard removal. Here from mine.
  16. Although ancient Greeks (Aristotle and Eyclides) say it and apply it first the other people know it as: Reductio ad absurdum. Soon or later we will find it, the sound is like a fan blade which barely touches something, i think it's a metallic noise and not plastic one (for example a teflon made gear moves back and forward).
  17. Shell uses Ethanol for some years now. In USA also https://canadiancorvetteforums.com/threads/ethanol-is-now-at-every-gas-station.62290/
  18. Here are some examples: https://www.drive2.ru/l/488977835835261519/ https://www.drive2.ru/l/575590764801687759/ https://www.drive2.ru/l/2844587/ The phrase for Google search is: Снятие обдува Шкода Фелисия There is a mechanism in the first switch which controls where the air will be sent (driver, windshield etc), maybe this is stuck and it's under voltage continuously.
  19. You mean from fhe engine bay side? No, some Russian sites have with the a/c blower out.
  20. @brefs No problem with your english, many members here (me included) are in the same condition as you. As for the protective fender flares why you screw them and don't use windshield glue?
  21. I have seen mechanics using a long screwdriver to spot the source of the sound, the nose touching different areas and the grip touches the ear. In the past i faced another situation, a small hand drill for carving, the switch on the power supply (had potentiometer for adjusting the rpm) was in Off position but still i could hear a very small sound ''Zzznnn'' like the drill was try to spin (but i didn't managed). The problem was in the switch, looked Off but wasn't 100%, a contack cleaner spray and everything OK.
  22. @robchap If you had a/c i could say it's the air recycle motor, i had a problem in the past with it causing noise thst i could hear it because was stuck in On position. Nevertheless i would unplug everything and use some contact cleaner (with no oil). I am in smartphone, i can hear it good here in work but sounds like an axis of a fan always under voltage which tries to spin it but i can't because the blades are touching something.
