Hi guys, I'm having a intermittent steering issue, after starting and moving away the steering feels heavy and unresponsive and sticks in one position? very strange i have told the dealership about and they say they can not find any faults? so now I just give up. I feel like i should go to trading standards or somewhere! this car is a nice little car just what i needed but so many issues.............................. Marcus

My Advise for the ASG citigo is to sell it as soon as you can it's an awwwwwful system has many,many issues!! mine has been back 3 times now and still a pain, so i'm looking for another small auto (Fiat looking good at the mo) My dealership have offered me a Rapid, not free of cause, they will have mine back pay off the finance and give me new deal?? on a DSG Not sure what i'm going to do??? Marcus. Happy new year guys

hay guys thanx for the replys on the topic, but i must admit not quite what i was hoping for! But it seems most of ya have the 60ps anyway, I have the 75ps ASG and it's fuel consumption is nothing like they say and it's nothing like the figures on the 'Honest jon' site too. While my car has been away for new gearbox and ECU !! they loaned me a 60ps ASG ......Shocked is not the word! it's so economical and the power seems greater even though it has 15bhp less!! Mine is the 5 door and the loan car 3 door dose it makes that much difference does it? Can I ask about the following, (Seriously though, the 75 brings more insurance / road fund, or it will when the banding shifts.) This is the first I have heard about this when will this happen and how much will it mean cost wise? Thank you Marcus

Hi Guys lets see how the different engines and gearboxes work. U = urban M = Motorway 60 ps manual 60 ps ASG 75 ps manual 75 ps ASG manxman 65u - 76m 42u-56m

Sorry I thought it was for the owners to voice and get help with there cars? did not understand it was family site for kids too? right i will be good no i have had my hand slapped!!!! Marcus

Hi guys, Just a thought, why do these cars not have badges as to the model i.e S, Se, Elegance ? The sport does have it as we know ? Marcus

Interesting the system wont let me say rude things about the car lol it's put ****ygo and if that don't get through then here's another pooGo! Marcus

Hi, there are two local dealers and both are Robert eardley and son lol To be fare they have sorted me with a hire car now (3 door 60ps se) it's so much better than mine in every way! better fuel economy,engine more responsive,faster even the stereo sounds better than mine. In the short time i've had this ****yGo I am not impressed at all, I have asked the dealer to get out this car and into something else, maybe fabia or new rapid with the DSG. I wonder how much trouble that will be? lol

Thanks for that. so ps is horsepower in german.

Hi peeps, My car Elegance 5 door ASG 75 ps (what does ps stand for?) My little Scotty (Skoda lol) gone back to dealers again with gearbox fault this time! he was with them few weeks back, they found some error codes but did not know how to fix it? they told me they needed a call from Skoda to talk them through the repair!! So back in last week for two days! end of the second day I had to call them to ask for an update? Ah sorry they said your car is still on the ramps with the gearbox off and wont be ready today. But I need my car for work I explained, ho they said! Well we can let you have your car back tomorrow and then when the parts arrive we will need the car back but you will have to pay £500, for what I said? Well Skoda will only pay us once to remove the gearbox, so if you take it away then when we get the parts we will need to remove the gearbox a second time! (F~#=-=@_ ) was my reply lol I called Skoda UK (0845 774 5745) to ask why I had to pay £500 on 3 month old car with full warranty? Leave it with us they said ! but as I told them I needed a car for work with business insurance, Ho they said! .........................two hours later a phone call........hello? Hi? we have a car for you it will be delivered to the retailer (Robert Eardley Newcastle under lyme) the next day..........A Black 3 door s or se ASG very nice............and you know what ? the steering works, the gearbox works, the economy is better than mine and the stereo is better than mine too lol I think I got a Friday afternoon car!!! Thank you Marcus.

Hi guys, My ASG has 7k on it now but in the first week of ownership I noticed the 'false neutral' issue and sent it in for a check, they found nothing ? Since then I have a problem with pulling away at junctions as in the car starts to move but then the drive is disengaged and go nowhere for a few seconds, also driving along the lost of power. So back in it went but this this time they found some error codes! but they told me they did not know how to fix it? They had to wait for Skoda! They gave me my car back telling me that they had to order in new gearbox,clutch and ecu unit !! Since then spoken to them and now there telling me that it my just be quirks of the asg gearbox? Well I'm not having that! I think it's time for me to get me money back or them buy it back and i'll have a Fabia DSG instead . Marcus

HI there, no sorry i don't have that option. Mine came as is from dealer, it was an ex-demo, when you consider it's the Elegance (supposed to be top of the range) there is not a lot on it?...............

Thank you guys, I'll take a look.
