Odometer stuck
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
"percussive maintenance" ahah. Yes, after RicardoM explanation it now makes sense. I'll try to open the odometer. Should i take some precaution when dismantling or is it as easy as taking out screws, pushing the blue axle back to its place and put all back together again? -
Odometer stuck

Well, truth is if i punch the tablier it starts counting again until reaching 1km then gets stucks again. So, if i manage to reach that blue axle and push it back, problem solved? Or is it going to get out of place again. -
Odometer stuck
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
If i manage to get a replacement, is it possible to change the kilometers to match the ones of my car? -
Hello! I had this problem once, when i bought the Felicia 1.9D 1999, however the car stand prompt to fix it. They said the problem was lack of lubrification in the gears. The speedometer works well, every other sensor seems to be alright. But the odometer stopped registering the kilometers. Both partial and total. Sometimes it cames up to life and counts 1km ant then stops again. Has this happen to anyone? Is it easy to fix or should i leave it to a mechanic?

Hi! Felicia 1.9D 1999 here. So i have a problem with my window elevator from the driver's side, or better yet, a lack of window elevator. It had a problem when I bought it, so they took it out and the guy who sold me the car managed to get another one free of charge. The problem is, the plastic tubes are cracked. So i went to a place (i don't know how it's called in english) that sell used parts from cars and i bought another one. When opened the driver's door i saw that it didn't fit -.- , the motor fits but the arms(metalic ones) don't have a place in the door to screw them. Please help. Does the last elevator really works? I'm going there to complain. Can i melt the plastic together of the first one? What can i do

Felicia Strut Bar
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
I think soo, at least it fitted perfectly, with some new wider wheels (4.5jx13 38et to 5.5x13 et32), the handling as improved immensely, with very less body roll -
Felicia Strut Bar
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
He probably switched topics. So i managed to get a strut bar from another Felicia, i just need to unscrew the bolts install the bar and screw again right? That simple? -
Hi! So i have a Felicia 1.9D, it didn't came in with front Strut Bar. Nevertheless i wanted to install one, but it seems impossible to find it anywhere. Is it even for sale? I have a friend with the same car and he says it makes a difference when cornering.

Speedometer under-reading 20km/h
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
Noted So i did it! Finally. At first try i manage to get it right with an error of maybe 3 or 2kmh above the gps. Lucky me? ahah. At first i had dificulties to pop out the needle, it was really tight and i was afraid of breaking something. But after a few minutes i managed to get it out. It's all working now. Thank you soo much RicardoM.- 10 replies

Speedometer under-reading 20km/h
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
Yeah. Not a very common car here in Portugal. Soo 1.Remove the cluster 2.Remove plastic cover 3.Remove Needle 4.Insert the needle below the mark of 20km/h (as if it where on 0 km/h) 5.Twist and pass over the stopping pin 6.Push all the way in 7.Connect everything back together I'll give it a try in two days and give feedback. Thank you soo much!- 10 replies

Speedometer under-reading 20km/h
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
Soo i remove the cluster: When removing the needle...It's easier to do this by removing this plastic cover and gaining access to the needle, or removing all the speedometer/odometer out? Another question, does it have space so that i can pass over the stoping pin without totally disconnecting the needle? ( i know, if you said soo it must have space). Do i need to do this with the cluster/speedometer attach to the speedo cable from the transmission, or i can do all this and then attach? By the way. You have been giving me a huge help, i wasted like months trying to figure this out with mechanics and google.- 10 replies

Speedometer under-reading 20km/h
Guimak replied to Guimak's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
Thanks for awnsering. But i realise now i did a huge mistake on explaining myself. It dos not under-read, but i over-reads. So a 120km/h (gps) the speedometer marks 140km/h. I don't know if it's the same solution. So i need to remove the plastic proteting the dashboard, for that i need disconnect the dashboard, remove the plastic, connecting the dashboard again and them with the car at a know speed, remove the needle and fit where it should be. To remove the needle, i just need to pick it up and remove, nice and easy, or is there something to unscrew. But when it's time to put the plastic again isn't it going to descalibrate?- 10 replies

Hello. I'm new here. I signed up because i can't find a solution or cause anywhere for this. I have a skoda felicia 1.9D from 1999. It had no problems, the speed was correct with the gps. But the odometer was stuck, soo i sent to fixe it. But when it return something was off. The odometer works but the speedometer was reading 20km/h less than it should at any speed. Soo as soon i start driving the speedometer starts to rise. example: at 120km/h (gps), it reads 100km/h... something that didn't happen before i sent it to fix the odometer. And now the garage i sent my car to fix doesn't want to take responsabilities and no other mechanics know how to fixed it. Any ideias please??
