The automatic choke had been wrongly assembled. I took my time to investigate and with a little luck I could fix the problem and I could get rid of the wire the mechanic put there because he didn't want to deal with the carburettor, he was not a Skoda specialist, he just wanted to get paid as quickly as possible. Now the carburettor works much better, I have no problems when I start the engine in the morning. If I only could get more power from the engine...

Engine overheat alert
PaulWalls replied to dohnjoe's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda Forman
I have exactly the same problem. I bought a new VIKä thermal switch. You can read "82/68ºC" on it. I wanted to test it setting the part in hot water and with an ohmmeter I tried to read continuity but I couldn't. My analog ohmmeter didn't show any measurement, not even when the water was boiling. Is the replacement part faulty? What did a do wrong? -
The second stage (Nº4 on the photo) or the secondary throttle diaphragm is not working. (please see #33 on this post). I've bought a new diaphragm because the former one was heavily leaking. I've changed the hose, the new one is tight and without leakage. I think the problem is inside the carburettor. Why it is not producing enough vacuum to pull up the lever?

Thanks. Now What's wrong when the car is descending a long slope and the engine stops working? -

When the fuel gauge is at its mínimum i.e. the warning panel orange light bulb is on, how many kilometers or liters do I have to get to the nearest gas station? -

Hi, what's the normal fuel consumption for a Felicia 1.3L with carburettor? -
Hey adurer I haven't solved the issue yet. I am saving some bucks to go to the mechanic. When I do it I'll take a photo or two to show -whoever might be interested- how it was solved. About the temp sensor, I found a topic related to the case and tried there. However you don't have to be so sarcastic. I Guess not everyone is so knowledgeable in Felicias 1.3 like you. I have thanked you several times. You don't have the right to treat me as if I was a retarded. You may know a buch of things but I also deserve some respect too (even if I don't know as much as you). Etiquette rules are fine I agree with you, but I think you have started to be a little anoying.

"the box being hit against the ground to many times" I think so too. The former owner hit the car for sure. Our street roads are full of potholes especially after a heavy rain. I will take my Felly to the mechanic to change the gearbox gasket. I could try pinpunching the alloy in an attempt to seal it but the car is too low, I don't have enough space to maneuver. I wish I could have an inspection pit in my own yard. I am saving some bucks to pay the mechanic.
