@Papez i found it, i made the translation. 1. Engine BCB 1.600c.c 16v from Leon 2. Camshafts 248 degrees and flow progression 3.

Take a look at these: were from my Coolant sensor, have you make an inspection to these cables? I have a Felicia 1300 GLX year 2000 and the code for the sesnsor is 6U0919501B Have you ever use a VCDS or a similar eroor code tool?

When the other forum opens again i will find some informations about the 1.6 engine swap. By the way i will also need your opinion Here .

You are my Man ! Have you ever thought to change cylinders-pistons with aftermarket and make it light-turbo? I don't mean 1.8 20V, just the 1.3 engine.

In Greece, for such conversions, we say "you get married with it". Which means that if there is a problem, you will have to solve it yourself since the other technicians do not know exactly what you have done, if you have a technician you depend on him for a lifetime and you will pay what he asks you every time, there is no guarantee for reliability, very difficult to impossible to resell it. On the other hand: IF you know what you're doing then the car transforms and if you don't exaggerate the horsepower then every time you drive it you have a permanent smile on your face.

You have changed the ECU?

I am not a mechanic but can you explain to me in simple terms why the 5W-40 (and only this viscosity) will harm so much my engine?

Unfortunately not at this moment, the Skoda site where the information are is under maintenance, they are changing servers and are "temporary closed". In a few days, when it opens again, i will find the topic and transfer all the information it has about the motor. The guy is a Greek driver ,Nizamis https://www.facebook.com/skodanizamis/ https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Nizamis+motorsport

Geia sou Patrida ! May i ask what's going to happen in the next MOT (Kteo is in GR) with that motor? Nizamis in Greece has made a Felicia with Leon 1.6 motor.

Has someone made a second thought about changing his headlights from a Polo? (No fancy style like Angel Eyes) Do they need a lot of fitment? Any possible issues?

Lot of informations in those threads. https://www.google.com/search?q=felicia+1.3+mpi+head+gasket+site:www.briskoda.net&newwindow=1&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=575405473&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiuvPfk2IaCAxXNXfEDHVguCbUQrQIoBHoECBEQBQ&biw=1920&bih=918&dpr=1#ip=1

I remembered this: It's a Felicia with ΒCB 1.600c.c 16v engine from Seat Leon, except the extra fan take a look the cover in front of the radiator.

No warm-up in UK weather? Fuel consumption in City Traffic? Here for the new car in first seven years no MOT, after this every 2 years.

For Felicia Petrol: API SG, VW 501 01 or VW 500, 00

There is a discussion about this here https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/129452-felicia-combi-13-what-oil/?do=findComment&comment=5782808 plus some comments below. The 3:40-3:45'' Cold Start time still remains after so many changes (air filters, engine oil, new sensors etc)

No, i have never use Mannol engine oil, in the past only one time i have use Motul Ester oil, i thing was 300V Chrono 10W40 but i wasn't happy with the ''kar-kar-kar'' rattle noise from the engine and i stopped using it. https://www.cn-lubricantadditive.com/industry-information/it-is-said-that-ester-fully-synthetic-motor-oil-is-good-but-what-is-the-advantage-43697.html Disadvantages of synthetic ester oil The biggest disadvantage of ester oils is their hydrolytic stability and material compatibility. Because of the polar group, ester oil is easy to absorb moisture (remember to tighten the cap when you use the rest). The stability of polyester to pure water is not bad, and it is unstable in acid and alkali environment. Since the engine oil contains many additives containing phosphorus and sulfur, and there will be fine metal particles worn down during the working process, the additives will produce acidic substances under the metal catalysis, which further catalyzes the hydrolysis of the ester. Ester will obviously swell rubber products of certain structures, which is also one of its disadvantages. However, these disadvantages are alleviated by appropriate modifying additives. 0W-40 in a 23 years old engine of a Felicia?

Here is the photo from the 6,5 ltr ''record'' for me (Mixed road conditions). I couldn't be more happy !

UPDATE: What are the results from changing engine oil from 10W-40 to 5W-40? First of all lower noise in Cold Start and while the car is running for few hundred meters, then one click lower temperatures (at the dashboard gauge) and much easier than before for the engine to reach the 5900 rpm limit with 2nd-3rd-4th gear in Mountain Roads. All these with one click better Mpg than any attempt in the past: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/499328-how-much-time-do-you-warm-up-your-felicia/?do=findComment&comment=5793518 but there is more Good news ! According to the TC-6 the fuel consumption in City Traffic only is one click better that all the other measurements in the past but i have to verify this soon in the Gas Stanion. The Winter is coming and then the 5W-40 will show if it's better or equal to 10W-40 because the driving conditions would be the same and the judgment would be harsh. So far the 5W-40 is...''winning". ✌️

After so many tests and the ''rule'' of the 3:40"-3:45" Cold start time still applies even now that i have changed the engine oil with Synthetic 5W-40 Changing gas stations (different brands), changing the air filter (different types) brought no change at all. MPG update: I made a small trip few weeks ago, few kilometres in City traffic then National Highway and at the end Mountain roads (2 persons with few luggages). Pass the MOT and after few kilometres in country roads i return as above, Mountain roads (2 persons with few luggages), then National Highway and in the end few kilometres in City traffic. For 448 Km distance my Felicia asked for 29,43 ltr gasoline which is 6,56ltr / 100Km or 35.855 US Mpg or 43.0611 UK Mpg which was an amazing result for me ! Somewhere in the trip i took a photo from TC-6, i am one click better than any result in the past and i beat my previous record. 🤩 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/499328-how-much-time-do-you-warm-up-your-felicia/?do=findComment&comment=5681058 I am positive that the next result in a trip (same temperatures) would be one-tiny click better because now the car runs better with the new oil, in previous trip many kilometres where with the old 10W-40 oil. One problem still remains and i don't think that i would find the solution, how to reduce the Cold Start time because the Winter approaching and that together with short distances in City Traffic means worst Mpg.

I prefer the good-old method, two mechanics one pressing the pedal and the other doing the bleeding work.

They can save you also from scratches from other cars in narrow streets, that plastic gets the damage and not the wing panel (paint job costs a lot).

I am not at home now but you can see how they look like on some Felicia cars: https://www.autolemy.cz/Felicia-c1_424_3.htm https://www.autodilyjimo.cz/plastove-lemy-skoda-felicia-hatchback-combi-siroke-4012394a-p5841 Price: about 35 euro per set of 4 pieces.

I already have them in my Felicia, fitted with windshield glue although you can use strong double-adhensine tape. Made in Poland.

It's the first time that i see such a modification. He extended the panel at the bottom-right side? He added an extra panel (not well cutted) with 2 switches for the front windows.
