Explanation for Fuse-Relay box configuration
I know that there are different types of Felicia so different fuse boxes but please take a look at mine. The R6 and the INT are missing. While searching on the internet i have seen many variations but almost none same a mine. Here are some examples: Fuse-Relay boxes R1 - High beam relay R2 - Front fog lamp relay R3 - Rear fog lamp relay R4 - Heated rear window relay R5 - Relay for injection system Bosch Mono-Motronic R6 - Relay for blocking the ignition system (when the door is open – only on some models) AKIN, SPDP R7 - Ignition switch unload relay (X-relay) R8 - Alarm relay INT - Rear wiper and washer relay W-W Front wiper relay My questions are: 1) Is there a possibility for a relay to affects the Cold Start only? 2) Is there a possibility for a loose or corrosioned pin on the plug above the relay to affects the Cold Start only? 3) If i install an INT relay the rear wiper will work as the front with a delay? 4) What's the role of R7 relay? What ''ignition unload" practically means? No R7 no ignition?

How to open the sunroof on our '94 Forman
The Google Lens on your smartphone can help a little to read text in manuals written in those languages. https://www.drive2.ru/l/8981867/ Alejandria, Antioquia: names from Greek Kings, keep in mind that you spell the letter D exactly as us the Greeks ''Delta" (Δελτα) since the spanish language has many Greek words inside. Watching Netflix the series about Pablo i have noticed many Greek words in dialogue among actors.

Questions about retro-fitting a lambda sensor
Check carefully, i had few months ago a nightmare with those Bosch Lambda sensors because the same parts store 1st time gave my one which was for Before the Cat Converter and the 2nd time suggested me to buy a different code which was for After the Cat Converter.

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 FormanBAD NEWS: 13th Gas station pump test: 164 Km distance, 19,890 ltr fuel which means 12,1 ltr / 100 km or 23,34 Uk mpg Those 164 Km were made in short routes (home to work) and only 2 times few kilometres in a boulevard, that because was Summer season and most of the time i used my small motorcycle. I am very disappointed because my Trusty still after all that effort by me to solve the problem does not likes the short routes and refuses to make better Cold Starts than 3:44 minutes. I made a test, i removed the factory filter box and run few kilometres with the air box empty, i had no problem at all in low-medium rpm but the Cold Star today morning at 12 o'clock noon was 3:42 minutes. Just for the experiment i installed a No Name POD to check the Cold Start time at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the Cold Start was 3:41 minutes. No road test with POD, just a Cold Start but as i can see no matter if it's the factory Paper filter or No filter or POD my car refuses to make short Cold Starts. Since the incoming air to the MAP-Throttle is different in those 3 cases WHY the Cold Start is almost identical? PS: the @Thefeliciahacker told my to install Sprint Filter, yes i have it in mind but what difference would make since my car (in all three ways) refuses to make shorter time Cold Starts?

Questions about retro-fitting a lambda sensor
You are talking for something like this? https://www.aemelectronics.com/products/gauges/digital-gauges/x-series-wideband-uego-afr-sensor-controller-gauge A gauge like this has his own Lambda sensor but the price is too high and only some skilful guys like ECU-programmers can work with it on the road making adjustments with their laptop. The cheap ones i don't think worth nothing for and an every day driver other than just reading indications while travelling.

New brake discs-pads for Felicia, any suggestions?
Gentlemen, it's time to change my Brembo brake discs (my brake pads are Ferodo in good condition) so i would like to hear your suggestions. 1) No more drilled discs, i won't buy grooved, the float discs don't fit so i will return to the old-factory style, here are some options: ATE BOSCH BREMBO FERODO Fri.Tech. FTE VALEO ZIMMERMANN There are some more here in the local market but i don't know them and i don't want to take the risk. 2) Should i make a combination of EBC brake discs are EBC brake pads? The Green or the Yellow ?

Favorit rear dampers
Just an idea: A metal ring as in the wheel spacers can not be weld in a repair-shop so the cap would be one-click wider? An example but of course not so thick.

Favorit rear dampers
I am not a mechanic but your current rear shocks are the original from Skoda? The new ones do not fit at all? For example: I have Koni Orange, they didn't fit ''exactly'' but with a small modification from the repair-shop are OK and i have them on use for many years

Favorit rear dampers
Same problem with me. Every time they employees in the parts store ask for my VIN, i give it to them (plus photos from the label) and no results at all, is unrecognizable. Every single time i have to full describe my car (model, year, doors, HP etc).

Boot light
D.FYLAKTOS replied to mikefelicia's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman@hzoltaan here are the photos: 1) No light at all A: behind that hole there is a clip for the cables (in case that i want to remove the speaker stand). B: it came off, i will fix it soon. 2) Only the factory light is On, see the difference with the Led bulb. 3) All ON, the round Led was an addition many years ago, maybe in the future i will change it with a strip with is more ''cosmetic'' but even now a have plenty of light even in dark areas. 4) Only the round Led ON (i forgot to take a photo) 😁 The switches are Push On-Push Off, in the past i had a chrome one but looked too fancy.

Boot light
D.FYLAKTOS replied to mikefelicia's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanNO problem at all, old thread digging is very good. I removed gently the plastic cover (has 2 clips) with the bit of a knife (even a small screedriver can do the job) and changed the stock-yellow poor light bulb with led-cob. Additionally i have added 2 round led lights and an extra switch so anytime i want extra light i can have it available, i will post photos tonight or tomorrow.

Skoda Felicia 1.3 mpi # Alternator Problem ?
I have never seen in the past a Felicia belt this way that's why i reacted, here is mine, not good photos but due to A/C and power steering wheel things look different.

The arrow shows the tension pulley, from there you can make things ''loose'' and work for example change the belt etc. With the help of a lever and a hexagon socket you push a little bit and you have the proper cm to work.

Something is WRONG, the belt must not be under the pulley ! The grooves must touch the pulley, now it's in reverse, who did this? 😲

help where can i get this trunk reflector
D.FYLAKTOS replied to elcomtrick's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanYou can use a Reflector tape or a Luminous so in the dark will glow and the followed cars can see you better. Here is another example with Chrome tape, more for beauty.
