Hi I’ve only just noticed this thread Tasha,s Citigo was doing the same a few months ago and when I had a look it was the drivers side seat belt buckle I sprayed a small amount of silicone in to the buckle and it has not done it since 👍 hope this helps 👍 cheers Paul Tash n Barney

Hi I've been reading up about the automatic headlight switch with sensor and would like to do this Conversion for Tash while I've got it up the workshop for a service in the next couple of weeks but on searching the bay of e they all appear to be for every other model skoda but the citigo or for vw models could someone please point me in the right direction or are the skoda ones all the same, I did try clicking on the link on the topic but the one suggested is no longer available 🤔👍cheers Paul Tash n Barney span widget

Hi thanks for the replies we've driven to snowdonia today in it for aong weekend it's the furthest I've driven it and was very impressed with it, we've just walked back from the pub and will have a look at that website 👍 here are the journey details very pleased with mpg 👍

Hi I've not been on here for a while as I've got a new toy (1963 series 2A Land Rover) but I've driven Tasha's citigo in to work today and ive noticed when i went in the boot where there are just plain metal panels either side they have condensation on them, which i understand as its extremely cold today and the front of the car has been in the sun but the rear is up against our warehouse are there any panels available to fit so as to insulate them, ive googled it but cannot see anything any help would be great please, ps the car has been great no problems with it the mileage is now just shy 78K Cheers Paul Tash n Barney

Hi Steve great hope you’re happy with it 👍 Paul Tash n Barney

Hi Steve Thank you it was a lovely week near Lake Bala, we got back last night and I've taken a couple of pictures it's not a perfect fit but is definitely fit for purpose 👍 Paul Tash n Barney

Hi Steve no I’ve tucked it in both ends of the seat backs and have had no issues with that, we are on holiday at the moment in our other car so I can’t take pictures to show you but we will be back Saturday so can take pictures then if that’s any help 👍

Hi Steve we’ve had our rear seat cover fitted since October and we are very happy with it, our Black Lab takes up the back seat and is also harnessed and we’ve no complaints at all 👍 Paul Tash n Barney

Hi 👋 cambelt, Tensioner, pulley and I’m sure there were also bolts replaced as part of the job, they ordered the full kit to do the job from Skoda all in it was around £300 fitted, they also had to buy the special tool required to do the job, I’ve used the garage over the last 24 years and trust them to do the job they’re being paid to do 👍

Hi 👋 we had Genuine Vag belt and sundries changed/fitted at around 72k and 4 1/2 years old, for me I wanted peace of mind and for the cost which wasn’t anywhere near the value of our car,I was very happy to pay to have it done, I hope you enjoy you’re Citigo, Tasha loves hers, great little cars 👍

Hi 👋 when I changed our plugs while servicing I found the rubber boots where rather stubborn so I followed some previous advice and pulled the boots stretching them and then holding at a constant pressure for about a minute and it popped off and worked for all 3 when refitting I too lightly smeared the ceramic part of the plug with dielectric grease which I already had.😃

Hi Tasha drives a 2014 5 door citigo great little car, I believe they all have cam belt,we had ours changed in December as it’s done just over 70 k it was no biggee, ours doesn’t have a reverse camera but I’m sure they will of been an option or on higher spec models, ours does 60 odd mpg more on longer journeys Tash drives to Bournemouth once a month, I personally think the ride is comfortable it’s fitted with 14” steel wheels, the seats are comfortable and it’s got a peppy little 3 cylinder engine,road tax is £35, and nice also to have the plug n play sat nav and Bluetooth,

Hi I’ve today given Tasha’s 2014 citigo with 72k miles a service oil ,filter, air filter ,pollen filter and I’ve changed the spark plugs and i was advised to pull and hold the coil pack at a constant pressure and sure enough they all popped off without issue, I checked on euro car parts before I did the job in case I knackered the coil packs and I noticed they are on offer for a couple of days BBT 3 for £84 instead of £127 are these something that should be replaced every ? Years or just renew when they fail in other words do they have a life span, the air filter was still clean from its last service but the pollen filter was absolutely filthy with loads of bits in it, it had last been replaced 2 years ago according to the service book and receipts, I was advised to put dielectric grease on the enamel part of the spark plug when replacing so as to get a good conduction and hopefully to help when replacing the plugs again, all in all it’s been a very productive day and I’ve got some brownie points as well have a good one Paul n Tash

Hi Clockworks definitely sounds like a visit to the Dealership, ours is a 2014 with 72k miles and it runs as straight as a dye , let us know the outcome please, it will get sorted and don’t let this put you off these cracking little cars Tasha loves hers Paul n Tash

Hi that is very interesting as I’ve noticed the radio reception is now appalling in Tash’s Citigo whereas it never used to be, I think I’m going to swap back to the old bulbs and see if it’s still like it, cheers Paul Tash n Barney

Hi that’s very good advice thank you,I’ve now ordered my new bike and went for the run out model 2018 Specialized camber comp 29,I got a really good deal and great customer service from Cyclestore Congleton and after having great experience in owning my old one hopefully this will serve me for years to come,it’s being collected tomorrow. Cheers Paul

Hi, I might be wrong but I believe there is some sort of rev limiter when the car is in neutral/stationary so that may answer that part of you’re question. Cheers Paul

New Mountain Bike advice Hi I would really like some advice please I’ve still got my Specialized FSR XC pro that I bought in 2008 and it’s now got road tyres fitted as I use it to commute to work now it’s been a great bike and it will continue to be my daily ride but I’m going to be in the market for a new mountain bike in January I’ve got a set budget in mind and I’ve been looking at either 2018 or 2019 Orbea Occam TR H50 I’m also looking at the 2018 Specialized Camber Comp 29er if anyone please has any comments good or bad about either of these bikes I would really appreciate it,the bike would be used for mixed trails,hills and forest tracks all being accessible within a very short ride of home,so wouldn’t be doing one more than the other cheers Paul

Hi I’ve just had a pair of Alpine s-s65 speakers fitted in the front doors I also had the doors dynamat’d as well and it’s made a massive difference quality wise well worth doing in my view the original speakers were appalling they went in the bin,didn’t have rears fitted as ours only has front speakers I’m going to have an underseat subwoofer fitted at some stage just for a bit of bass cheers Paul n Tash

Hi Tashas is booked in for a cam belt this Thursday her citigo is just over 4 years old and has done 72000 genuine VAG parts having it done for peace of mind,I personally think some of the quoted mileage’s for a cambelt to be checked are too high,just my opinion though cheers Paul n Tash

Hi I’ve just got back from picking Tashas Citigo up from Oxford Car Audio and what a transformation just upgrading the front speakers and having the doors fully Dynamat’d the speakers we went for are Alpine S-S65 coaxial,the old speakers were on the back seat and they are really poor quality,very pleased with the upgrade I would definitely recommend it,Paul n Tash

Hi I’m holding tight on the subwoofer for now the car is booked in to a local car audio specialist next Saturday to have the doors fully Dynamated on both the inner skin and outer skin and a pair of upgraded Alpine speakers and go from there, I will report the results once fitted, Paul n Tash

Well worth doing that looks so much nicer in my opinion Paul n Tash
