The ideal resistance on a brand new and healthy coil pack measuring 4 (COM) 3 and 2 should be ~6kΩ ranging 8kΩ -3kΩ from new to when it's about to fail, usually, they will progress by getting lower. Mine is at 3.3kΩ cause its the original unit from 1999, in high humidity it does hiccup sometimes

They need to be checked throughougly on the diagnostics and even extra tools to make sure everything works correctly.

I know it by ''first hand'', 4 different scanning tools no faults at all but the fuel consumprion was terrible.

Step-by-step alone manage to find many small problems (no error codes), i have posted many photos of them in the past.

Injectors may also be the culprit,

the lambda sensor though

A simple test with a manometer can show it.

Bosch rtefference caused me problem and the scanner could found anything wrong,NGK (the original) was the solution.

Mine is 4,3 kΩ so i will have this in mind.

yes yours is in better condition than mine, you have at least 50k more...

I also pointed out several times that Felicia is basically a facelifted Favorit. Most of the car was built in the same way as the Favorit and the few VW sytems like ABS or ECU weren't as integrated into electrical and mechanical systems as they were on newer cars. First Skoda build on VW platform was MK1 Octavia, which is not discussed on this

As VW took over (fully?) in 1991 a Škoda badged car is a VW regardless of the parts originality and design originality VW were free to improve the model (more), or change the model if they wanted, VW are responsible for the manufacturer as Škoda was then and is now one of their brands so to me it's a VWŠkoda and a product of VW (or VAG as they might have been then) the badge makes no odds to who the owner was and is.

We owned Škodas when VW were involved with them and IIRC VW officially owners of Škoda and they made changes to the friendly back-street Dealers of the time imposing VW's will and ways, they made it clear they were the owner of their Škoda brand, I remember that.

As you have an interest in history and politics you will know why in much a earlier time the Germans were interested in Škoda and probably the British Army bloke that rescued VW for it to survive and thrive into the 21st century. Nope that sweet FA to do with pick-up fuel consumption. IIRC venting was covered twice, now three times, by now three different posters, for fuel consumption the garage found a misfire and Luck is getting a new coil pack. Of course, this may or may not be the whole cause of any increased fuel consumption but reasonable correct measurement and calculation(s), in whatever format, MPG or l/100 km, is needed to confirm this unless other ways of checking or confirming are used.

VW or (VW)Škoda pick-ups seem to be particularly in fashion over here for more affordable "classic" or modified or whatever they now call modified classics - but some things are different here to in Europe with regards parts and the general motor trade and statutory rules and regulations and to some extent the weather which can affect use or lack of use of these type of vehicles but of course many things are the same in UK as Europe, more in common than divides us.

@Luck Not necessarily for the current things but other stuff, I don't know if you've seen the following or if the bits are still about but used factory can often be better than some new made parts new. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/535958-felicia-pickup-spares-or-repair-offers-please/#comment-5977371

when fueling the car, the petrol pump stops if i’m holding the trigger down, meaning I have to spend about 15 minutes fueling the car!

In the past happened to me,some years back an old man in the gas station took 3-4 efforts to fill the tank and this ruined my MPG calculation.

Yesterday in another gas station i asked ti ''fill it till the trigger drops'' and after a while the employee said ''it's OK now'' by my instict said ''no way'' and i was true, the litres were less than expected and the needle in the cluster gauge was not in the Full mark.

i was in a hurry with no time to refill it but i will have this in mind for the next,if it happens again then something is wrong (with the gas pump or there is air inside my tank trapped).
