  1. Good day all, My car: 1.6 Felicia - Funline (was a Dutch variant apparently) The problem is that only on warm days (15-25C) the engine, will occasionally after start up from cold, rev to between 2000-3000 RPM. It will hold this RPM stable for around 30-60 seconds before slowly bringing the revs back to a more normal 800 RPM. The car operates as normal from then. I personally think this is a sensor problem but I don't just want to throw parts at it. with that said: The temperature gauge on dash works as expected and thermostat was changed on a recent coolant refresh last year. The HT leads and sparks plugs also have been changed to meet general servicing and maintenance, along with disturber cap and rotor. I hope this is clear and gives some of you Felicia gurus something to go on. James
  2. Sorry I only came across your thread. I found this https://www.lrp-autorecycling.de/EKAT/ersatzteile/partID1003479121006.html The part number is 6U9827025 Not sure if is what you are after.
  3. Sorry in being slow in getting back. From what I have read the wiring is not difficult. Simply tap into the wiring for the rear lights and wire correctly into the tow bar socket. I see that you can also use a Multiplex relay box so that the extra electrical load of trailer lights does not overload the +20 year old wiring. (I've also noticed that VAG cars don't seem to have much redundancy in the amount of amps that can be drawn through wiring in general....) As for that special dash light I mentions earlier, I think the use of a 4 pin flasher relay causes that to work.(instead of the standard 3 pin) Although i'm not sure how to wire the indicator lights, because if I use the multiplex relay then the car can't 'sense' the extra load on the flasher circuit. As such that all important dash light may not work. I'll have to trial and error to see what works. I have not fitted the tow bar yet but I will update this thread after I have (with advice and maybe even a picture or 2). should be noted I haven't bought the tow bar yet, so who knows how long that will be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  4. Good day all, I am considering installing a tow bar to my Felicia II and was just wondering if anyone has done this before on theirs or other cars? I am aware that the felicia is perhaps not the best towing car, especially as they are all getting on in years, but I'm intending a very small (300kg total) trailer. One feature I'd like to have working correctly is the trailer dash light (between the indicator dash lights), so I'd be grateful if anyone would have tips for installing, wiring and additional relays etc to make is all work.
