I can assure it will rev quite smoothly well beyond 6000rpm, and makes a fantastic noise whilst doing so!
glad its not just me that thinks that

My Citigo is a 2014 model. Dealer Haselden changed the pedal without problems. Only trouble was the long wait on order. Usually have to wait for parts. Nothing I order has been in stock.
Current issue is alloy wheels to tyre bead problem allowing tyre to deflate. Had this issue with all my Skodas and none with my other cars.
Thats interesting had a very small puncture repaired on the rear of mine , been back to the tyre place and they cant find nothing wrong , looses about 5lb a week

After a bit of searching ive found this , has instructions to adjust sensitivity on headlights , haven't tried yet but i followed the instructions for Coming/Leaving-Home functions: and it worked so when unlocking /locking my headlights stay on for 60 seconds .

That looks like the one. The listing I bought from has expired, so there's no point linking to it.
Having used the switch for a few months, a small word of caution: The light sensor has some problems with hysteresis, or more to the point, the lack of it. If you're driving around dusk, the switch will turn itself on and then off again if for example you're driving along a road with the occasional overhanging tree. The sensor reacts very quickly to the sudden 'darkness' and turns the lights on, but it also reacts almost as quickly to the daylight restored on the other side of the tree's shadow. The on-off-on-off behaviour gets a bit tiresome.
Yep having the same issue with trees/dusk might try relocating the sensor somewhere else

Only downside is that's the VW one so the lights are red not green

I removed the front interior light then removed the rubber trim from around the front drivers door , rear drivers side door and the top of the boot just enough so i could get between headlining and roof .I got 2 outer cables from a push bike and joined them together, and threaded it through the hole where the front interior light is and pushed it towards the drivers door . Once i could see and feel it i guided it along to the rear door and then pushed it through towards the boot .
Once i had pulled it all the way through i taped 2 lengths of wire to the bike outer cables and slowly pulled it back toward the front and out of the hole where the light is .
Next step was to cut into headlining where new light was to be fitted , i used one from a vauxhall corsa c as there isn't much space between headlining and roof but enough for the vauxhall unit .
I then connected the wires to the light and fitted it and proceeded to fit all the rubber trim to secure the headlining in place .
All that left was to connect the rear light to the front and refit the front interior light .
OK so the next bit is a slight bodge but it works , i placed the wires on each bulb terminal so the bulb holds the wires in place to supply a feed to the rear , and hey presto a rear interior light which works just like the front ,took around 2 hours from start to finish

My son had a similar thing with his 1999 MK1 yaris sr , decided to go the black box route they came out to fit it and inspected the car for any modifications . Got a phone call later saying the wind deflectors on the front windows were not standard fit and they would cancel insurance if they were not removed .

Been having the same issue with mine until today . I was sat in the works car park today and removed the sat nav holder from the top of the dash as its going for bodywork repairs today , then bingo perfectly clear radio reception. Odd i thought so put the holder back on and sure enough lost reception again , did this 3 or 4 times and each time it affected radio reception. This was with just the holder and not with the sat nav attached .
