Thanks for the info. You're right, it's proving impossible at the moment. I'll have a look at the Felicia idea though.

Does anyone have a front wiper motor for a Favorit in good working order. My car is 1994 glxi hatchback. Needed ASAP as mine given up. Or any ideas where I can get one . All help greatly appreciated

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to get a Favorit dipstick? Is anyone breaking a car or have a spare??

Thanks RicardoM for all your sound advice Much appreciated.

I have picked the Felicia up from the Skoda dealer today and the starting issue seems to have been dealt with. It is also running OK with no over-revving, although this was a bit intermittent before. I have followed their instruction by not putting my foot on the throttle when starting the car! and OK so far. It revs a bit fast on start up but then slows down as it warms up. They have checked for air leaks they say and assure there are none. They are saying the throttle body may need replacing at some point.

Thanks for that. I will attempt to upload a video tomorrow. My husband is good with cars but we have always had old cars with NO electronics on - a Favorit seems high tech to us. Is it worth buying one of these VAG-COM units - they seem to be cheap on ebay but are they any good??

Thanks for your comments, all advice is appreciated. The £700 includes the cost of the car and does include the break cylinders and of course the market value of the car is of no importance to me as long as I have a car I can use! Yes, I went to the garage alone and I'm no expert when it comes to Felicia's. The Skoda mechanic supposedly has 30 years experience of working on Skodas. The main problem now is the over-revving and poor idle. We really like the car so are going to persevere with it. Looks like the VAG-COM is the way to go from here. . Anyone in Cornwall got one???

My husband and I have a Favorit each and wanted an estate. As Favorit estates never come up for sale, we got a 1997 1.3 mpi Felicia. When we got it there was a cold start issue although once going, it ran like a dream. Having looked at this forum, we replaced the coolant temp sensor and the speed/hall sender. This partially solved the problem but not completely. . Car still not right so we took it (under sufferance) to the local Skoda garage. One diagnostic test later and they put new pins and wiring to the connector that sits on top of the coolant temp sensor and also wiring to the coil pack. Picked car up and although it started, was over-revving and running like a pig. Car went in for MOT next day and new rear break cylinders later we have a new MOT. However due to the over-revving, it failed the emissions first time round and had to be re-done. The over-revving was intermittent. Returned car to Skoda garage as it was still not starting well and running worse than when it went in. They have had it for 2 weeks now and have solved the starting issue, having now also replaced the thermostat which they say was sticking open. Their technician has told me that starting the car with my foot on the throttle is throwing out the settings and causing the car to rev all over the place. They have reset basic settings on the throttle body and say it runs OK now but when tested in the workshop with throttle depressed, it ran like a pig again. Now reset again, I am due o pick up the car Monday. We are now £700 in to a car worth £400 and wondering where to go now. These 1.3 estates don't come up very often and we have wanted to persevere with it but can't keep forking out more money - does anyone have any ideas????

Can anyone tell me where I can get a wheel mechanism for my 1994 Favorit sunroof? Thanks.

Thanks thats great.

Hello dohnjoe this rubber mounting lies between the injector and the inlet manifold,i think its held in with four bolts its about 10cm square?

The rubber mounting that the injector sits on is perished. Does anyone know where I can get one please? Having trouble finding one for this car. Am I right to call it a mounting flange?? Car year is 1994. Thanks
