Skoda Felicia 1.3 carburetor

[sorin_maican20]

Hello all,

I am Sorin and I’m from Romania. I've recently received a Skoda Felicia 1.3 engine, the model with carburetor, not injection. The car has a little over 100.000 km (~63.000 miles) on the clock and it runs very nice.

Since I've had it, I’ve done the following:

Mechanically:

- changed the front wheel bearing, because of the annoying noise.

- changed the clutch cable because when releasing the pedal, the old one remained stuck. With the new cable everything runs smoothly.

- changed all the bushings from the steering column.

- mounted an LPG fuel system in order to travel cheaper (the LPG fuel stats are: city driving - 26.50 MPG, motorway driving - 39.00 MPG). Bear in mind that the cost for LPG is half the cost for gas so you do the math

Esthetically:

- cleaned all the air vents

- washed the upholstery by removing it from the seats

- removed all the stickers from all the windows

- changed all the light bulbs in the dash area. Now everything lights up

- changed the ugly 2 spoke steering wheel with a VW Golf 3 one (with 4 spokes and airbag). Fitted like a glove.

I'll load some pictures with everything I've done to the car in the next post.

Nice work, nice to see one being looked after. The steering wheel you have fitted is the one they have as standard over here (apart from a few very early cars) except of course it has a Škoda badge.
