  1. 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?
  2. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/442987-felicia-carburetor-tune/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262854-felicia-13-carburetor-tuning/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/131673-need-info-for-13-carb-na-tuning/ @Camera you will need a lot of money and lot of time, does worth it?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. I stopped using Shell when i learn about Ethanol in their gasoline.
  6. 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 💗 ).
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. ''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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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).
  13. Shell uses Ethanol for some years now. In USA also https://canadiancorvetteforums.com/threads/ethanol-is-now-at-every-gas-station.62290/
  14. 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.
  15. You mean from fhe engine bay side? No, some Russian sites have with the a/c blower out.
  16. @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?
  17. 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.
  18. @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.
  19. Something relative but not the same, 2 times i the oast i had a continuous noise ("tzzzzz") from engine bay even when the car was off and the key removed. I could hear it while i was sitting inside, he made me mad because i couldn't let it like this all night. What it was? From the car alarm a plug from it's ground, due to moisture was a bit wet and was causing that cicada noise in it's contact. Did the previous owner had installed a device like GPS Tracking?
  20. One of the first post that i read about Koni Rebuild work at 2006, one of the most respected members in an auto-forum, more that 30+ years in repairs-modifications etc itself and knowledge of many brands-quality of parts etc. "As the Judge (nickname) said, send them to KONI, we buy KONI for 2 reasons, they are very good and repairable, don't think about it at all, the cost is several times less than buying new ones."
  21. I was reffering to the road of the @nta16 photo, no problem with the horsepower. One of my favourite car shapes was this:
  22. If has not potholes and it's wide enough for an overtake then it's fine.
