Hello. I just bought from a friend this Skoda Felicia LX, 2001. It runs fine (as I can judge from my short experience). The issues I am facing now is that after driving it, I smell gasoline inside. Someone suggested that it may be the gas cap. I checked and found it is loose. I need to change it. But in that area it doesn't smell to gas, only inside. Also the dashboard gauges don't work. The speedometer gauge, the gas gauge only goes half the way, RPM gauge is dead as well. The horn is disconected. When I turn on the air conditioning, it smell to gas. I have attached some pictures hoping you can give me some advice. I know that some will tell me 'hey, go to the car shop and have it checked there...' But if there is something DIY, I would like some advice. Please check out the pictures. I really appreciate any help you can provide. In the meantime, thank you so much for your attention and participation. (NOTE: I will be posting other missing pictures later as I have to compress them to be able to upload them)

Go it. Thanks for the explanation and for creating this site. I am new to cars and when lifting the bonnet I see a lot of things that for me are out of order. I want to point to some places inside the car and ask a few questions by posting some pictures. Hope to get help. Thanks.

Obed Paulino from Dominican Republic adding a Felicia LX 2001, TMBEEA61317330229. It is my first car to own. I live in Santiago de Los Caballeros. In the building complex I live in, there are three Skoda cars: two Felicias, one Combi. I have seen a couple of Felicias running around the city, one being used for public transportation. Here public transportation cars are loaded with 7 people: 3 in front seats, 4 in the back. So question: from a comment above I got that you can't request help if you are facing a issue with your Felicia?
