because the second new one i put in broke right away...? the pin was fully out and stuck.

Do you remember how I told you to check the part of the thermostat housing? This happens when it's damaged - the pin is supposed to push against the plastic in the centre, if part of it breaks, the pin just goes straight through and thermostat doesn't open. I had this exact issue on a similar VW engine.

 

You also mentioned that radiator is cold, while both tubes are warm - is the radiator colder than the bottom tube?

Get a brand new thermostat housing and  then adjust with the proper 2speed thermoswitch range

@Thefeliciahacker @Papez

Yeaapp, i checked it and thought it was fine,

but i have now found a little crack in it so thats why all thermostat breaks and the car overheats.

 

Could anyone possible send link on what i need to get? Like a part-number or something?

For me the only place i can order from is kind of Auto-doc. 

Sorry for late reply have been gone for a few days. 

Maybe this one works?

Thank you very much! :)

Do always check any information you get from any source, including from manufacturers, especially off the internet - I have never owned a Felicia (my wife had a Favorit in the early 1990s) so I don't really know anything about them so have no real idea if I have given you the correct part numbers as I have just taken them from the Škoda-parts website (all websites, databases and catalogues have errors and omissions).  If you have a factory original part on (or off) the car with a part number on it then that is the place to start from, of course over the decades (especially with VW) that part and/or part number might have been superseded.

 

Also you have learnt another valuable lesson with the leaking plastic part - always double check, then check again what you have double checked already and never assume that even if something has been checked a number of times that it is not worth checking again if required.

 

Even in a clean car like yours many parts and items are bleck against a dark or black background so you need a good light on them, also a magnifying glass (with good LED under lights) is useful to check parts for things like small cracks or damage (or part numbers if you have old eyes).  Digital cameras (phones) are good to zoom in with also and can get to places difficult for your head and eyes to get to.

 

 Hello guys! 

It was the mounting for the thermostat that was broken. The car works now. 

Do you guys also have problems with cold start?

The temperature is normal, no overheating?

 

Such as?

Rough idle for example?

nooo overheating, 

was like 8-10C during the night and this morning it took some time until it started haha. 

More information is needed as it could be for a few different reasons, a video of not starting might help or info on if it's a cranking or engine starting issue.  I forget have you serviced the car, for this things like engine air filter, spark plugs, (oil & filter) checked the electrics from battery onwards, ETA: including ignition system, that all connections and wires are clean, secure and protected and that parts are fully working properly, then on to fuel supply (and perhaps quality?) from tank to cylinders.

If it's for one time then no worries.

Get it checked on diagnostics, one of temp sensors might be bad, but there's no reason to change sensors without confirmation..
