Felicia Special
Papez replied to RicardoM's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
This seems to be a standard equipment for all Felicias sold in Germany. I wonder if there were any legislation requirements back then. -
Felicia Special
Papez replied to RicardoM's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
The evap drain is there even if the AC doesn't run. There should be also an intake drain - or at least there is on non-ac cars. The sponge really just creates a humidifier. Not the best thing when you want to demist the windshield. -
Felicia engine puzzle
Papez replied to Skodle's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
I can think of 3 reasons of seized engine: hydrolock, valve/piston collision due to skipped timing chain, or something's stuck due to corrosion. Were you able to turn the engine with plugs out? Valves do open at right crank position? -
Ok, I'll do the math for you. Felicia has 5,6l of coolant. Let's ignore part of coolant that's the radiolator, which doesn't circulate until the thermostat opens. To heat up 5,6l of water by 72K, you'll need 1.69MJ of heat. A -20 mixture is around 35% of glycol. That means 1.96l of glycol, 3,64l of water. I'll ignore difference in density, it's not that big. You need 342kJ for glycol, 1097kJ for water, that's 1,44MJ total. So total difference is 249kJ. To put that into perspective, the engine block takes around 5,2MJ of heat. So if your engine heats up in 10mins, it's around 10kJ/s of heat going into the engine. So, in this situation, the different coolant makes at most 25s of difference.

Water has heat capacity 4.186J/gK, ethylene glycol, used in antifreeze, 2.42J/gK. No need to experiment, you can do the math. Just make proper mixture for your weather conditions. There's really no point in trying to slightly reduce heat capacity of 4l of water, when you need to heat up 80kilos of metal. Also, I think that facelift Felicia uses G12, not G11.

Skoda Felicia 1.6 heater blower
Papez replied to MattBon's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
4th speed bypasses the resistor pack, so if it doesn't work, there might be an issue with fuse, wiring or the motor itself. Check connector to the motor - it's in the engine bay, on the side of the ventilation inlet, white 2 pin connector. It often corrodes burns due to increased resistance. -
Felicia AC to Favorit

I think I understand, thanks. -
Felicia AC to Favorit
Papez replied to vucko1011's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
Ah, I thought of that. I just for some reason imagined something that would go under the dashboard 😃 What's your plan to do that? Some 3D printed casing to replicate the Alex housing? -

What do you mean by this? -
Felicia AC to Favorit
Papez replied to vucko1011's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
1st on AC fan is stronger than the only speed on non-ac car. It should be enough to cool the radiator with AC off. The 2nd usually kicks in earlier with AC on, based on refrigerant pressure. The 2nd thermoswitch is more like a backup and in this case, it's still lower than factory setting on a non-ac car. -
Different steel wheel size(s)
Papez replied to R_U_AFA's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
The wider rim comes from Pickup. Original 13 inch alloy rims were also same size. Since it stretches the tire, it'll be a little bit more stable. -

It's not, it's point when the thermostat valve fully opens, making the most efficient use of the fan. -
E10 and E5 in UK for Felicia
Papez replied to nta16's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
I read on Czech forums, that the problematic parts are O-rings around injectors and replacing them with Fabia ones will do the trick. That would line-up with no mention of the 1.6 engine. -
Yes, the two blocks are heater blower and the resistor block. So it's not the blower motor. As of what it is - I have no idea. All devices in the interior should be disconnected with fuses removed. And I don't think that bad contact would be this audible without causing a fire. Could it be some incorrectly wired device added by a previous owner and hidden behind the dashboard?

Škoda Favorit 1.9 TDI
Papez replied to R_Blue's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
The overall power is same or lower as 1.8T conversions, so it's not any worse than that 😃 -
Škoda Favorit 1.9 TDI
Papez replied to R_Blue's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
110kW ARL - that's one of PD engines I mentioned. Similar engine was used in Fabia RS. The engine is an early TDI with rotary injection pump, used in MK3/MK4 golf. Those had 210-235Nm. They swapped the gearbox, too, the weakest points are now driveshafts and car's body itself. -
Škoda Favorit 1.9 TDI
Papez replied to R_Blue's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
The weakest stock 1.8T has 210Nm of torque, which is same as stock TDI. I don't see a point of this conversion, heavier, weaker, same effort to get it in. If they used a more modern PD unit, it'd be a different story
