Not really, I am planning on swapping to 1.8T AGU from Golf 4.

Hello everyone! I will be doing a Favorit swap with an 1.8T AGU engine from my Golf 4 GTI. I need a full pinout of original Felicia 1.6 (1997, pre-facelift) gauge cluster plugs (Black, yellow and a white one). I have already swapped in a 1.6 AFH/AVY engine hybrid, but its just still too slow for me and I always wanted a Favorit with 1.8 Turbo engine. I am going the legal route, I have all documentation from Golf 4 for TUV. So basically I have Favorit Silver line with Felicia dashboard, Felicia wiring harness (whole car), hybrid Polo engine, Felicia Power steering and Felicia AC system. Thats why I need pinouts for those 3 plugs for the Felicia 1.6 cluster I mentioned above in this post. Feel free to ask any questions!

I agree with you, I had the same problem with burned out connector at the resistor pack so @MattBon should check that first.

Does the highest speed (4) on the blower work?

I will just move the fan housing to the right side above the brake master cylinder, offset if you know what I mean. I will post some pictures in a couple of days so you can see exactly what I mean.

I will be refitting original interior cooling/heating fan since it did not fit because of the engine, I temporarily fitted server fans to get around the problem. My cooling system is in tip-top shape, the needle never goes higher than the middle of the gauge.

Wider rim size makes your ride quality better for sure. The difference is only 1 inch, but better then nothing. About the ET, the difference is only 2 milimeters, not significant.

That Sparco steering wheel is removed, I bought a brand new one. I also did some testing, the brand (manufacturer) of the switch makes a big difference.

Hello, I would like to lower my Favorit, I found a set of H&R lowering springs (35mm front and rear) new for 280 euros, but I am also interested in buying some better shock absorbers if there are any with TUV certificate. Just to make it clear, I only need parts with TUV certificate because I want to "legalize" the parts on the Favorit.

Which country are you from? I have a complete wiper system for Felicia and Favorit for sale if you are interested.

Just a short video of the AC I made for YouTube Shorts - I will also be re-fitting old blower assembly for the interior, I will have some time in the end of this month I guess, I am currently working on a Nissan Patrol Y60 M57 swap so I do not have enough time for the Favorit and after that I will be doing a swap on my friends Volvo S40 T4. I will also put a new coolant radiator [NRF or Nissens] just because its about 50 euros, better be safe than sorry, the old one is kinda corroded, I just wanna have a "peace of mind". I need to change the radiator fan because the old one has a damaged resistor for the 1st fan stage so its always running on 2nd stage (full speed) when thermoswitch closes. (only single pole thermoswitch currently). I also finally found a "double" thermoswitch which suits me, the original one was faulty so I wanted to buy a replacement one but the 1st stage was 105°C and 2nd 112°C which is just too high temperatures for my taste. New thermoswitch I found has specs of 1st stage at 87°C and 2nd stage at 93°C which is completely fine and good.

I would reccommend 10W40 if your engine is in very good shape and you live in a colder climate. But personally I would use 15W40 because 1.3 engine is quite old tech (OHV-Pushrod engine) and the tolerances are not that good comparing to newer engines.

I think stock is 42mm on 1.3 and 1.6. On 1.9d is 50mm.

The difference is in exhaust gas flow and thats it. 55mm is more then enough for 1.3/1.6 mpi and 1.9d

There is no point in buying any of those mufflers, they are just too expensive and chinese ****. Do you want to have a "performance" sound? If you do just get a resonator from a junkyard from any car and have it welded on your Felicia/Favorit.

Glad I could help😁

Unfortenately the black cat "Selotejp" from the beggining of this thread is no longer with us, the car ran him over. I am taking a break for a couple of days and I will get the AC charged in a few days.

As much as I can see on the picture you need to press the control arm more into the rubber pivot bush. It is not seated all the way in.

Server fans are actually QUITETER than original blower fan🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, my bad...I thought the Alex system from the picture you posted.

The cable will be hidden in the future, I just don't have the time for it right now. Speakers can fit, but I am using speaker standoffs because of the depth of the speaker (magnet is in the way). And I have a Bose amplifier in the glovebox compartment (4 speaker outputs on 2 ohms and single 100w 2 ohm subwoofer in the trunk). Total of 5 outputs on the amplifier.

"Ghetto" solution...I used server fans and made a slim profile "fan". I used server fans because they are high RPM, they move a lot of air and they are great for static pressure. The original Favorit "dual blower fan" would not fit and the original single blower fan also would not fit. It would be the best if I could get the Diavia AC fan assembly. I will use original wiring, but instead of resistor pack I will use Arduino Nano with a code to get regulated speed (5, 7, 9 and 12V) Yes, the whole subframe is from Felicia 1.6 and I am using the factory anti-roll bar.

It's still work in progress. I have the original fusebox cover but it does not fit because the strut tower is a little bit different, but I will probably modify the existing one or print a new cover 😁

Do you have any pictures of the "problem"? Which year is your car?

Thank you very much😁 Yes, I have stiffer springs from Felicia (Felicia has 15mm springs and Favorit has 13mm springs). The 1.6 16V is MUCH heavier than original 1.3 135B engine I had in the Favorit.
