I’ve seen lots of info about the original dash top GPS unit and how it is obsolete and not worth it. I have a 2015 SE with the original type mounting location and blanking plate. I’d really like to use this for something modern, like a Carpuride unit. If needs be I’d just run an AUX outlet to the stereo and therefore have Apple CarPlay available for GPS, music and so on. Has anyone modified/butchered the original mount to accept something modern? I assume there is a power feed in there which could be tapped to run a new unit. Also, is there a source of the early mounts? I can’t find one anywhere.

So, after replacing the lambda sensor another error popped up within a day - this time related to the heating circuit in the same lambda sensor. I took it back and they claimed to have "rewired it" and reset the code. The error came back the same day so I took it back AGAIN. This time they ordered and fitted an OEM sensor (rather than the aftermarket one they had used) and since then it has all been OK.

Well the garage agreed with me and fitted a new lambda sensor. All sorted now! It’s nice to drive again. I’ll get it serviced next month so will get fresh oil and spark plugs.

Well it had flagged as an error on the module, so it had obviously been picked up. Maybe the bulb behind the tyre pressure warning has gone? I’ll try to remember to check when I start it next.

I have a Citigo SE from 2015. I recently had cause to use an OBDEleven to check for errors due to an engine issue. When I scanned for errors I found the engine ones but also unexpectedly found an error in the “Brakes/ABS” section. It turned out to be a low tyre pressure error. As it happens I had inflated all the tyres a couple of days before as they were all a bit low. However I never got any kind of TPMS dashboard indication - is there one? I reset the error anyway.

It did a few days ago. It has thrown two codes related to the post-cat lambda sensor. I’m having it looked at tomorrow. Fuel economy has also gone through the floor and it smells rich when idling.

OK, so the OBDEleven tells me fault P2096 - "Post Catalyst Fuel Trim Too Lean". Probably the lambda sensor. I've cleared the fault and will see if it comes back.

Yeah, it has a full Škoda history, including spark plugs not that long ago. I’ve ordered an OBDEleven to see what this turns up. Maybe it’s a lambda sensor - it drove home OK, albeit with the slight stumble at light throttle.

OK, so here’s the first issue with our newly-acquired Citigo SE 60PS (2015). After a 50 minute drive at motorway speeds, sat idling in a car park the CEL came one. No other symptoms and it still runs. Before this I had noticed a slight hesitancy or fluffiness at light throttle and slow engine speeds. I assume I’ll need a OBD device of some kind to interrogate the ECU? Is there are reset capability for the ECU, like pull this fuse, pump the brakes 5 times and touch your nose with your tongue?

I have been a member here for several years by virtue of a previous Yeti that i had. That was sold on a few years ago but last week I have returned to the Škoda fold as I picked up a Citigo as a family runabout and learner car for my soon-to-be-17 daughter. I now have a 2015 Citigo SE 60PS 5-door in white. I must admit I was not expecting much from it as I generally drive things with many more gadgets and much more power, but it has really endeared itself to me. It is uncomplicated, unassuming but well-built and generally just a nice thing. It has a small scrape on one bumper but other than that it is in great condition with 58k miles on the clock. It had a new cambelt at 5 years old and I have a stack of Škoda service receipts for it. So, I'm back!

Some Peugeot 205 models (most famously the GTi but also the XS I had) had factory-fitted driving lights under the front bumper. In this case though you’d probably have to create something from scratch, perhaps with a 3D printer and some aftermarket lights.

The Roomster/Fabia foglights do look like a close fit, although I can't find any evidence of anybody doing it. One question though, is what you would want these lights to do? If you use them as foglights then you'd have to disconnect the big round ones since you are only allowed two front foglights. If to be used as some kind of spotlight or 'driving light', that comes on with the main beam, then the Fabia/Roomster lights won't work without significant modification as they are focussed as foglights (ie low and wide).

This bit I assume. Not aware of any plug-and-play options.

From memory there should be no prising needed. There is a spring one end and a catch the other. You slide the body towards the spring end which should free the other end to be pulled out.

I have just been quoted over £240 just for the rear pads on my MINI. I know I could do it myself in an hour but I just don’t have an hour to do it, and it’s under warranty so needs an approved job doing.
