Skoda garage quoted £115 to supply 3 sparkplugs and fit !!! Are they difficult to fit DIY as I'm not paying £115 , when I can buy 3 sparkplugs for £18 Cheers Steve

Just checked citigo use standard nickle plugs https://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ngk-spark-plug-zker6a-10eg-96596-5 From specs appear to have a recommended service life of 30k They only cost about £6 a plug so might as well change them Regards

Hello My 2019 citigo only has 24000 miles , wondering if spark plugs need replacing yet ? ( due a 4 year service soon) Not sure if plugs are iridium or normal ? Car is starting and running lovely Thanks Steve

Dealer was not that interest in getting a sale , to be fair I said that I had other cars to test drive , did not give me a p/x figure for my citigo He said that all the deals were changing 1st April but did not know what changes are , think current offer is £500 off PCP which ain't amazing To be honest my citigo felt nice to drive on way home , just wish it was a big bigger at times My test drive on higher specs might have spoiled me , especially with the 110 engine

Took out a 95 bhp comfort se model today , much preferred the 110 engine One thing I did notice was the comfort SE model ( same level as my current citigo SE) the seat cover quality seemed not as good quality on the Fabia than my 2019 citigo SE , guess its just cost cutting these days Cheers Steve

Hi All Not sure weather to go for a 2023 1.0 TSI 95 or 110 engine I drove 110 version today and was plenty powerful , trying a 95 version tomorrow Any one have any recommendations / experience , much appreciated Regards Steve

Hello Currently own a citigo which has been a great car for 4 years Looking at buying a new fabia , currently there is a £500 dealer contribution on PCP I bought my citigo new on pcp to get a dealer contribution and then settled off in full by using right to withdraw in 14 days This was back in 2019 , can I still use this with Skoda finance ? Regards Steve

FIxed finally took dealer 4 attempts to fix ( still under warranty , just ) Lubricated suspension bushes no fix Replaced rear suspension units no fix Replaced suspension bushes no fix Replaced axle bush - Fixed So much nicer to drive a non squeaky car , I was close to giving up Cheers Steve

Hi Just wondering if you can permanently turn off lane-assist or do you need to do every time the car is turned on ? Thanks Steve

Hi All Currently have a 2019 citigo which I have been really pleased with , but looking for a change and like the look of the new fabia Test driven a SE comfort TSI 95 ps , really impressed , really comfy and well spec'd , got a really good p/x offer on my citigo PCP offer includes £500 deposit contribution , service pack deal and a years free insurance , so strong used prices seems to make going new a better deal ( 12 week build date) I bought my citigo on PCP and settled straight away and still kept my benefits Just wondering if you can still do this with a new Skoda , in my particular not sure what would happen to the free year insurance if i settled PCP deal and paid car off in full ? Would welcome any thoughts about people owning latest Fabia's / people who have recently settled their PCP deals by paying off in full Cheers Steve

Dealer said no fault found , apparently they have greased rear suspension bushes but not made any difference sadly At least record of job for future if issues at 1st MOT They offered 8k part X which was a pleasant surprise as only paid 8500 new almost 3 years ago , think might part-x while prices are so high

Many thanks any one know of VAG specialist in Worcester fairly local to Bromsgrove ? Thanks Steve

Hi Noticed last couple of weeks on my 2019 citigo , 16k miles a creaky noise from Offside rear Notice more at low speed when going over bumps etc Sounds like coming from rear suspension / bush ?? or maybe rear drum brake area ? hard to tell Have checked all plastics are in place and they are tight and fine Got 3 months warranty left so booked in for next week for dealer to check Any one experienced similar ? If so what was the fix ? known issue ? Cheers Steve

Many thanks Yep looks to be the same as the oil and inspection service , apart from removing wheels and a few more checks .... Not sure if the brake fluid needs changing after 3 years and 18000 miles ? Cheers Steve

Hi Have owned my 2019 citigo from new and really been pleased Just coming up to 3 year service and started calling around for service quotes Mileage of car =18k BTW Supplier garage All Electric garage is quoting a Inspection service (oil & filter) £185 , an optional extended scope service bringing cost to £245 I asked what extended scope covered but was not really given a clear answer , was told just more checks ????? Another dealer Trust Skoda quoted oil & filter £130 and had no ideal what extended scope service meant ? They mentioned brake fluid needed to be changed as a option ???? not sure if needed ??? Can any one please shed some light what 3 year service is needed and what a extended scope service actually is / needed ??? Cheers Steve

Hi topped up coolant reservoir slightly . Never noticed any more leaks , levels have all been fine since Cheers Steve

Think the main problem is the pram , with child seat in rear seat no way it will fit , did not have grandchildren when bought the citigo so was not a factor at the time of buying I really don't want to sell the citigo as love driving a small car and like the cheap running costs Thanks for the replies Cheers Steve

I completely agree trouble is can't get granddaughter pram in or my fishing gear

Many thanks it's got to worth 6.5k part-x will try else where

Hi Have had my citigo for 2 years from new , only 12k miles full Skoda service history mint condition Been offered £6k part-x value Fair or low ? Regards

So leak could be from mechanical rack ? Will have to keep an eye on it Would I get a warning light if gear oil low ?

Feels oil based , not been serviced recently last serviced June 2020 , engine oil level not moved from the location stands a fair chance its steering fluid but hard to see ? Thanks for the replies and help Regards Steve

Hope it is electric as can't be leaking Cheers Steve

Hi ive notices some fluid on bottom right of bumper lowers not much but not normal Have marked coolant reservoir and that's not dropped , oil level good , brake reservoir good Only leaves steering fluid Where is the steering pump and cap etc located ? Is this a common issue with citigos only done 8k miles Thanks Steve

Hi My 4 month old citigo has suddently started with front wind screen wiper judder and really noisey when using when raining Have cleaned both wiper blades and screen with hot soapy water and not made any difference Before I buy another set of wiper blades any ideas ? Thanks
