Not many Citigo posts, especially since the barely-usable redesign.... The VW Up! owners forum is massively bigger and better, and welcomes Citigo & Mii owners... Just sayin', before I abandon visiting here....

I posted a lot on here as a Citigo owner. I helped a few and annoyed many. I'm giving up with it, as the latest changes make navigation a pain. See you Citigo owners on the MUCH bigger and better VW Up Owners site (your Citigo is an Up!) : So long, and thanks for all the fish....

They are twin headlamps (not available on other models, like Up!) and are normal H7 bulbs, i.e. rather like the twin-filament H4's, but with single filaments and only 2 connectors instead of three.

So sorry to hear about your situation..... AFAIK, early Up/Citigos were fitted with a 180mm clutch that was problematic - some cars repaired under dealer warranty were then fitted with the Polo clutch (200mm). I believe, but cannot confirm, that later cars (post facelift?) got the Polo clutch as OEM fit. Given that there were Polos with the same MPI engine (and a bit more weight, hence clutch wear), I'm pretty sure there is a better 200mm clutch that is right for your car - if you go with part numbers and VINs, you may well end up buying the poor 180mm clutch. If I were you, I'd repost on the Up! Owners Forum for advice - this site (Briskoda), as far as Citigos are concerned is tiny in comparison and has far less technical knowledge - it's fine for all other Skodas, but the Citigo is really an Up! with just a few cosmetics changes....

Common problem - not all lambda sensors claiming to be compatible actually are, and it's often the heating circuit calibration; this is one thing that may be worth buying from a VW dealership garage, unless you are very sure that it's known to be identical. Many garages have not learned this yet and just buy from a favoured parts supplier, usually based on price....

There is a clutch switch on the pedal assembly. This tells the ECU if you are pressing the clutch, and as said, this may be faulty. Hard to get to, but easy to test and cheap to fix, if that is the problem, but I'm not certain that is, as there may be other faults stemming from the clutch switch being stuck on as if the clutch was pressed.... Many many manual cars do not require you to press the clutch to start, but it is a common feature on VAG cars. Citigos have no message about clutch pedals on the instrument cluster, at least none of the models I have driven - it's best for non-Citigo owners to not spread disinformation that may confuse people!

Take a look on the Up! owners club/forum, and post the question there - lots of people on there change their radios. Maybe your BCM cannot support the newer radio; I don't know.

Expected behaviour. The radio needs to be coded into the ECU. There is a canBus exchange to verify the radio is correctly registered. You'll need a specialist or a VW garage, as it requires the right software to be able to achieve this.

make sure any new sensor is the correct VAG-supplied part - there are a lot claiming to be compatible but which are not. This comes up regularly on the Up! forum. appearing to be running too lean (which will cause the system to up the fuelling supply) might be a real fault - an air leak, an injector clogging up, and other things could cause this.

Normally you do get a sound and a warning light - maybe the error is historic, and the TPMS was reset, but the trace remains in the ECU. The error could also be the ABS wheel speed sensor playing up - it may be flaky, or had a bad connection now sorted, or it can be the reluctor ring getting a bit clogged.

If it does not turn with the key, it's either seized or broken. Try the spare key, in case your main key is worn. If seized, lots of penetrating oil may help (silicone is too thick to get into tight spaces), but if broken, it will be hard to disassemble and attempt repair, I think.

Sounds like a sensor or the wiring to it....

If the lock on your current fuel cap is not working, why would you put that mechanism into a new cap?

Try posting on the VW Up! forum - loads of Citigo owners there, and at least one moderator who works in a VW parts centre....
