Just been out to check. Front end damp on the floor in almost a long line. Radiator?

Hi, no current over heating issues although only been driven a short time 30min or so. The light came on immediately upon start up due to low level. I’ve topped up again and will check in the morning but as you say, it is difficult with the weather. See some dampness near inside front of bumper so might be coming more from the front end rather than rear?

Hi My son’s 2015 citigo’s coolant level light came on so he topped it up. After driving 16 miles home and leaving it overnight, it has come on again. Checked bottle and level is down. No obvious leaks from pipes (feel dry). Any other possible conclusions? I’m seeing water pump crop up. Any simple tests to carry out to help determine (other than taking it in?). Thanks

Thanks Ray Might have a conversation about the drums as it seems a few posts have mentioned this as a possible. I don’t think they are pricey so would you recommend replacing for new ones (seeing as the shoes are new on)?

No to wheels. Exhaust is an interesting one and the garage said the front end of the exhaust is moving slightly (rubber mount) but not needing replacement. Noise is only from rear and only under braking. I suppose it could be hitting something as the weight shifts but the knocking seems speed determined.

Drums have been off and shoes replaced. Garage never mentioned that this was an issue (and were looking for it) but did say give it a few days to bed in. Would you suggest a new set of drums or can they be cleaned up?

Hi My son owns a 2015 Citigo Montecarlo and recently under braking a noise has started to occur (almost like someone knocking on a door) coming from the rear end. After taking it to the garage and slowly trying to eliminate options (drivers rear shocker leaking, drivers wheel bearing and just recently rear brake shoes) I am running out of possibilities and so are they. The garage have suggested that the noise will go once the brakes have bedded in (as they believe this was the cause) and it has only been a couple of days however the noise is louder now than prior to having the shoes fitted and more consistently happening when the brakes are applied. Has anyone experienced similar issues and can suggest any possible next steps to check. Need some help!

Thanks for that. I had seen this unit before on other websites but this link allows you to build the bundle with rear view module which I had not seen before and have it fitted. Brilliant!

I am looking to have a dashcam professionally wired into my son’s car but would welcome some advice from owners who have done this. I would like to be able to see forwards and backwards (with a parking mode when stationary). Some dashcams come with modules you can simply plug into the side of the dashcam that points backwards. Some come with additional units fitted to the rear window. As the car is small, would a unit pointing backwards from the main unit ‘see’ through the rear window OK or would I be better purchasing a separate unit? Interested in your thoughts as to what works and which units you have bought. Many thanks as always.

Hello, my son has a 2015 citigo montecarlo and has bought some mudflaps to fit to it. On closer inspection it looks like some holes need to be created in order to attach them. My issue when looking at his car is that there are no wheel liners on the rear so not sure whether they can be fitted or not or do they attach to the inner part of the rear bumper? I also noted whilst searching that having no liners can cause problems with rust on the inside and this is often seen via the fuel filler cap area having some bubbling of the paint work? I have looked at his car and he has exactly that. The car came with a 2 year warranty from Bristol Street Motors so hopefully it can be looked at by them? Any advice would be welcome as he’s a new driver and it’s his first car and I want to make sure it is safe and right for him.

I can’t even get the Garmin software to show the available maps for the device. It’s as though the device isn’t being read correctly (but it updated the firmware?!?). I’d pay but it won’t let me get that far into the process.

Hello everyone I have recently purchased my son a Citigo montecarlo for his first car and it comes with the PID system by Garmin. I have downloaded the software Garmin Fresh (and Navigon Fresh) and updated the firmware but for some reason it will not update the maps which are fairly out of date (2015 car). It is almost as though the computer doesn’t recognise the device (but it does because I can see it in the device menu). I know that I might not be able to get the very latest maps but any update would be a benefit (especially seeing as he is just starting out and learning his way around). Could anyone give me some pointers or perhaps instructions to try something different? Many Thanks in advance

Hi Thank you for your suggestions. I messed around with a few buttons on the phone and car and it has worked! I think I'd tried to connect them in the wrong order. You are right it does appear to have more features than my iPhone ever did. Result thanks again!

Hi I have a Skoda superb Mark 2 with Columbus system. I have just bought a Samsung S9 but the car cannot find it when searched any suggestions for phone settings or Columbus settings? Thanks

Thank everyone for your help. Flat battery causing the issues. Running as normal now. Repair garage will be getting a snotty phone call in the morning for running it flat!
