I have a 1998 Skoda Felicia 1.3 MPI with a 2000 engine (just fitted)  I am thinking of purchasing a scanner and having a go myself  I have zero experience with one so can any one give me a link say to one on EBAY UK. to purchase. 

 

Like I say I have NO experience  using one, can I mess up my car by using one ?

and I am only just testing the water to see if it is feasible to use one, after all one of the reasons for owning a Felly is to do most of the servicing myself even if I am in my late 70s.

 

I have the service workshop manual on the Mono -Motronic fuel injection and it states use tester VAG 1551 WITH CABLE 1551/3.

 

Any info if you have used one on a Felicia 1.3 MPI Thanks.

I've been following your previous topic.

 

May I ask, what was the problem with your previous engine? Just curious.

Kind regards and best wishes.

I do not know for sure the garages i took it too said confliting things my guess it was the head gasket but there was a lot of noise, so I wanted to keep my Felly and I look at purchasing a replacment engine and found one on Ebay being sold by SYNETIQ the engine was year 2000 and had 018,057 miles, so it was purchased.

I have it installed now and wow it is so quiet and go's very well no problems except on tick over the engine revs rise and fall a little. I am 99.99% happy and can only say SYNETIQ were very good with the price and delivery of the engine I would recommend them I understand they have the rest of the car still for sale it was a silver 2000 Felicia 1.3 for me it was a case of being at the right place at the right time were can one get a Felly engine with18,000 miles and I can tell you it looks very clean. find picture attached.

Heres to the nexted 25 years I hope that will make me 93.

WOW! That looks like a golden find! It hope it serves you well.

You might not believe me but your car can contribute to your general health. Both mentally and physically. Doctors always give this advice: use your motor functions, use your senses, think, solve problems and you will feel young. This will help you stay sharp.

 

As for the scanner, they say OBDeleven works for Felicia.
