Felicia LX fuel consumption
No, i compared a carburetor car with another carburetor, not mine, i never referred to MPI.

Felicia LX fuel consumption
While searching i found this: Old but very informative, see? No "magic numbers" or "i have a very economical car" fictions. That is (and i know it hurts a lot) reality.

Skoda Felicia 1.3MPi Immobiliser fault?
What's the annual price for a Felicia insurance in your area and what sections cover?

spark plugs are unevenly colored, advice please?
That trick is well know from 70's and still we use it in small carburetor motorcycles (which using 20W-50, an oil only for them and not for Felicia). Hint: In Yamaha the screw is in the opposite position than Honda.

Skoda Felicia paint codes table
In Greece there are some paint stores which can reproduce the colour of your car in a spray according to your registration code. Are there any related stores in UK? Has anyone experience painting with that spray?

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanHow Shock Absorbers Impact Fuel Efficiency: Improving Your Vehicle’s MPG https://medium.com/@AutoEspy/how-shock-absorbers-impact-fuel-efficiency-improving-your-vehicles-mpg-4b86d0e0f1f6 The impact of shock absorbers on fuel efficiency is a factor often overlooked by vehicle owners. However, understanding this link is essential for optimizing mileage and reducing fuel consumption. Here are two key aspects that highlight the connection between shock absorbers and fuel efficiency: Impact of Rough Road Surfaces: When driving on rough or uneven road surfaces, the energy absorbed by shock absorbers directly affects fuel consumption. Here’s how: Energy Dissipation and Suspension Oscillations: Rough roads generate excessive vertical movements in the suspension system, causing the vehicle to bounce and oscillate. Shock absorbers play a crucial role in dissipating the energy generated by these movements. Inadequate shock absorber performance leads to poor energy dissipation, resulting in prolonged suspension oscillations. This not only affects ride comfort but also increases fuel consumption as the vehicle struggles to maintain stability. Fuel Consumption on Rough Roads: On rough roads, vehicles with worn-out or ineffective shock absorbers experience reduced tire contact with the road surface. This leads to increased rolling resistance and tire slippage. The engine has to work harder to overcome these resistance forces, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Furthermore, the vibrations caused by inadequate shock absorption can affect engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption. Vibration and Suspension Efficiency: Shock absorbers also play a crucial role in reducing vibration and optimizing suspension efficiency, both of which have an impact on fuel efficiency: Vibration Damping and Tire Grip: Efficient shock absorbers dampen vibrations transmitted through the suspension system. Excessive vibrations can cause the tires to lose grip on the road, leading to reduced traction. When traction is compromised, the vehicle’s stability is affected, and the driver may need to compensate by applying more throttle or braking inputs. This results in increased fuel consumption. Effects of Excessive Vibration on Fuel Efficiency: Excessive suspension vibration not only affects tire grip but also causes discomfort and fatigue to vehicle occupants. Aggressive vibrations can lead to a harsh and uncomfortable ride, forcing the driver to make sudden adjustments to maintain control. These sudden adjustments, such as aggressive braking or acceleration inputs, can significantly increase fuel consumption.- Koni Street rebuild.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI have read also for Toyota-Honda-Ford-Mercedes AMG etc engines. We have Lotus official seller here in Greece (although Chinese own the company) together with Maserati. Some GR videos Here. Tour from USA- Koni Street rebuild.
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanA friend of mine send me this photo from his neighbourhood: Lotus Elan S2, as you can see the body has some scratches, the driver must use it often, of course it's not a ''daily car'' but in boulevards-Highway-Mountain roads would be extremely happy with what he has. For sure has Koni shock absorbers and as done a rebuild on them, well done Man. 😎- How much time do you warm-up your Felicia?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanMy problem so i post more often, in your topic about head gasket you were posting continuously but me never said nothing. _____________ TC-6 is in the market i think from 1995 and at 2024 someone from nowhere says it's not perfect, so what? Is the tachometer or the odometer or the gasoline-water coolant in the dashboard gauge "perfect" ? For few days i will follow the "1 minute at least" warm-up and i will post some photos, if a guy does not like these the Foe list is the option, as long does not put my name there he will continue seeing my posts, it's inevitable and i don't care.- Skoda Felicia in Gumbalkan 2022
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanHow about this?- Skoda Felicia in Gumbalkan 2022
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes but they have stock engine, stock suspension, stock brakes, stock lights, stock steering wheel etc, everything under specifications...so no matter how they use them it's legal and good.- Skoda Felicia Headlight Adjustment

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanWho's preaching? The funny guy which saying that my photos from Average fuel consumption in a curb was ''fixed'' because i just released the gas pedal. That's happening when you claim that you are ''an engineer'' but don't know the difference between Current with i/h symbol, Average with the Ø symbol ant Total with the Σ symbol. So according to that guy i have found a prolonged turn Eau Rouge like, i reach by magic hay a high speed of 200Km and while this drops to 100Km with one hand in that long distance turn i took a photo with low fuel consumption. But i have posted at leat 3 different photos so where is that magic turn? What about the symbol in the screen? How can i replace it? That's happening when you claim that you have ''a very economical car'' with 7,5lt / 100 Km in Highway. 😂 The same guy which some posts back tried many times with multiple provocations to stop other members to post here, he show-up again exclusively to create problems.- Skoda Felicia in Gumbalkan 2022

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanPower from horn which means all the time, has a back-up capability, connection with factory dashboar gauge (fuel level), it's own fuel injector sensor-plugs-electronic board etc with VW-Audi cables. The installation is very difficult, my electrician had ''hard time'' although the compnay gives all the informations. It was the company that was making the ''factory'' TC-6, it's not something after market, you could have them installed in your new Felicia by demand, the Skoda offered this as "extra".- How much time do you warm-up your Felicia?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes but in day Cold start you can not ''read'' the needle so good because it's trembling. I rely on my ears for the sound of engine mainly and a look at TC-6 just shows the fuel consumption dropping means is not consuming so much fuel as the first 30", that's a good indication. Cold days, not enough warm-up time, short routes...i have no expectations for ''miracle'' MPG numbers in situation like this. It's good that the first results show City traffic fuel consumption dropping, let's hope that this will be continued in the next days and stabilized. The Highway and the Mountain Road cases are ''closed'' with a Win, amazing results that i haven't see them for 21 years.- How much time do you warm-up your Felicia?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanWith that oil yes, i never had it with Amsoil-Motul-Castrol, it's hard for me to get use too but when in the end of the day see less fuel consumption than all these years, then i compromise. When i find time i will measure the day Cold start time, also the TC-6 helps to this because you see the fuel consumption getting lower, for example from 2,6 ltr/hour (Instant) from crank point starts lowering to 1,3 ltr/hour and also you hear the sound of the engine different, more quiet. When it's stabilized i feel it's OK to go, i never-ever liked the crank and go habit, always feel uncomfortable. - Koni Street rebuild.
