Boot light
D.FYLAKTOS replied to mikefelicia's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanPoland-Hungary-Czechia are not so ''welcome'' in may EE countries and in USA because they don't accept their agenda in many political things and way of ''modern'' life (personally they do the right thing and here in Greece we respect them very much for this). Your Boot light is awesome and looks ''factory'', may years back when i installed mine i din't had that idea and now i regret it a llitle bit. Maybe in the future i will change it with a Led-Stripe, i need lot of light in the trunk becauise many times i work with my car at night or in a dark parking lot etc.

Skoda Felicia with an Oil Catch Can?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNo oil or muck in the throttle or even in the tube, what i saw there at 1:08 was a shock: Different type of engine of course but i read about carbon deposits in valves and since i have an old car maybe this Oil Catch Can could heped me over time.

Skoda Felicia with an Oil Catch Can?
Can a Felicia owner have some benefits from installing a device like this? I have read many articles and i have seen many videos but for turbo cars although here in this forum there is a thread about Fabia 16V https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/481634-fabia-mk2-14-16v-oil-catch-can/?do=findComment&comment=5410097 but since Felicia is an older generation car i wonder if it's good to have an Oil Catch Can. What say you?

Mystery Whining and Grinding Noise
When you press the clutch pedal the noise stops? Many times when you start the car at morning when it's cold you hear that noise too? It's a rythmic noise ''kar-kar-kar'' the same tempo with car's idle noise?

Lowering Springs
In the past i had Eibach and the latest years i have Apex. I am trying to avoid not famous brands in such products, the risk is big.

Mystery Whining and Grinding Noise
The weak point in CV shafts is the boot. After years and miles of turning and bumping up and down with the suspension the boots weaken and begin to tear. A torn CV boot allows the grease to leave the joint and road dirt, water and other contaminates to enter the joint. Contaminants inside of the joint cause friction which creates accelerated wear on the internal components in the joint and creates play inside of the joint. Once a CV shaft has failed you can hear a loud click, click, click noise when turning the vehicle and slowly accelerating. https://www.timsquality.com/blog/cv-shafts--what-are-they-and-how-do-they-fail-

Skoda Felicia 1.6 litre AEE engine oil amount with filter when changing engine oil ?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to Mustafa_Samir's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI know because Greeks named that city as did in hundreds of others in the area. Alexander the Great is Iskandar in Middle East right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskandar Alexandria in Greek is Αλεξανδρεια which means ''the city which named by Alexander", the same applies for example to Antiochia (named by the Greek Antiochos) etc. This brand can be found here in Greece since 2000 but it's not too famous https://www.yiannitsaros.com/product/anti-freeze-5l-green/ In the green says TL 774-G (G-11) ,there must be a mistake it's TL 774-C https://www.iada.es/en/product/glycogel-hybrid-50-g-11-2/ Few years ego i was using another Spanish brand Repsol G11, fantactic but difficult to find it here now.

Do not rely 100% in those ''does this fit in my car?'' searches, some of them are with mistakes, same happened to me with Trodo.

New brake discs-pads for Felicia, any suggestions?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNot enough. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/499328-how-much-time-do-you-warm-up-your-felicia/?do=findComment&comment=5663261 IF i had the money to buy a new car (a faster car) plus the money to pay the damages every year (i park the car in the road which means scratces-small hits etc) plus the extra money for insurance and government taxes plus the money for the extra accessories (ECU-chip, new suspension,new rims and tyres, new strut barce-anti roll bar, cotton gauze filter, custom exhaust, racing belt etc) then i would aksing here. So i stick with the car that i have. 😉 People are dying ✝️ beside the Speed, some from excessive food-drink consumption while sitting in the couch watching all day tv.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to Mustafa_Samir's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanMe and @Mustafa_Samir are the same, we don't have english as first languagge so we don't understand ''complex'' meanings and i think some memebers from Middle East use Google Translation to write here in english. It's not bad, would do the same if i was trying to write in a Czech forum for Felicia.

Skoda Felicia 1.6 litre AEE engine oil amount with filter when changing engine oil ?
D.FYLAKTOS replied to Mustafa_Samir's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNo matter how you make the oil change some will remain inside, the same thing happens with coolant, the same with gear oil. 3,5 ltr is what Skoda suggests, there is no gain if you put 4 ltr (will cause you problems) and don't be surprised if finally it takes 3,4 ltr. My Felicia takes 4,5 ltr, i can put 5 ltr but this IS NOT good, in my latest change took 4,3 ltr (with new filter installed) https://oil-change.info/skoda-felicia-engine-oil-capacity/ https://cararac.com/engine_oil/skoda/felicia.html https://www.whichoil.info/skoda/felicia-1-6 Drain as much oil as you can, put the new filter, add 3 litres of oil, turn on-off the engine to soak some oil into the filter, check the oil stick, add oil carefully to the Max, it make take 3,3 or 3,4 or 3,5 ltr.

D.FYLAKTOS replied to Mustafa_Samir's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman3.5 ltr with filter, the oil stick will tell you exactly because in every oil change some remains inside the motor. The mechanic or the employee will fill about 3 ltr then he will ask tou to make a start-turn off (the motor will suck a bit) and then will add exactly the quantity that is needed. For example my Felicia in theory needs 4,5 ltr but practically takes 4,3 ltr.

Hm..ask first if they can work together with lowering springs. Some brands don't and the whole suspension will not work properly.

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 FormanOf course. Custom ECU means a fortune and i don't know if any programmer here would like to spend time with it. I already have an ECU-chip (updated recently) and my main problem is that it takes 3.40 minutes at cold weather to go from 1100 to 800 rpm. I wonder if i make the coolant "thinner" (more "weak") could this help a bit?

D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman@R_Blue : do me a big favour, the next Felicia owner that you find in the street grap him and ask him with serious look ''what's your cold start time? What's your fuel consumption in a city traffic?'' If he is hesitating tell him that is a matter of national security and must answer otherwise will face the consequenses.

Felicia 1.3 Throttle Body Sensor, how to check it?
Here is my Throttle Posistin Sensor, looks good but 1) I need the ETKA code for this part, no matter how hard i have searced everybody gives the whole throttle as ''set" and not that sensor as individual or some sell the MAP sensor (!) for it 2) How can i test this sensor if it works properly? In YT the guys have a 3 pin, here is an example and for sure i would dare to open the whole throttle from the other side which is the potensiometer, some plastic gears etc (i have seen some other guys to do it). Can a fine Gentleman help me on this matter?

Explanation for Fuse-Relay box configuration
D.FYLAKTOS replied to D.FYLAKTOS's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYes Gentlemen, the R7 relay (mine now is 4H0951253) had nothing to do with engine start (fuel pymp for example) because with this relay missing the car starts-revs-travel without problem, except that you don't have lights (you have high beam signal)-wipers. After all hese years with problem in heavy rainy days now the problem with tthe INT rear wiper solved for 15 euros. The 6U0955529 AEV 2015 relay works ''plug and play" and no need for something else, keep in mind that it's height in bigger that the other relays so it may need to stand aside some cables which are beneath the passengers storage compartment.

Intermitent wiper delay on Felicia
In Greece we have a wisdom: "He who digs, it finds". That happened here too, by digging old thread for information i found this one and i started looking if i can do my rear wiper to work with delay as the two front ones. As you can see here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/507963-explanation-for-fuse-relay-box-configuration/?do=findComment&comment=5704842 i have found the INT relay for my Felicia 6U0955529 AEV 2015 for 15 euros and without any wiring work, just ''plug and play" it workded and for first time after all these yeras i have that function. Let's hope that in the future another Felicia owner (via Google seaerch of search in here) will read this thread and will have some benefits.
