I don't know for sure but fear it will be a fair chunk of the dashboard. I while back I needed to replace the blower resistor which is behind the glovebox but you can't just remove it. You have to remove half the dash to get it out. There is a video at the bottom of my thread here that shows how to get in:

thebrighton started following 2016 Citigo cam belt replacement and Move and Fun quirk?

I've been using the Move and Fun app for years albeit with a few hitches along the way but a new glitch seems to have started. When using the satnav it automatically lowers the volume of the radio when it speaks as it also does if playing music from a SD card but when playing music from Spotify on my phone via Bluetooth it now increases the music volume and shouts at me! I can't see anything in settings so assume it's as a result of an update. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? Cheers

If the blower only works on 4 it's probably just the resistor (around £10) that needs replacing although it's not easy. Here's how I sorted mine:

2 posts above the screen grabs in the response from Skoda UK's Customer Service: "I'd like to inform you that I've been in contact with our internal Technical Team regarding the timing belt service interval for your 2015 Skoda Citigo SE with the 1.0 L petrol engine. According to their response, the recommended timing belt replacement interval for this specific model is after 15 years, with no specific mileage stipulation."

Mentioned a number of times and the latest here:

Have a read of the various Citigo camblet threads on here; there is no mileage requirement, just a 15 year replacement interval. For years Skoda UK have been ignoring this to make money for servicing departments.
-
There are a fair few threads on this forum around the timing belt. Basically they should be inspected every 160k miles but Skoda UK thought it should be 4 years/60k miles. Some dealerships do, however, acknowledge the Citigo is unique with the 'longlife' timing belt but some don't through ignorance, not being advised by Skoda UK or to just take your hard earned cash!

I know but just a pain having to go and buy paint, brush and fiddle about doing it.

Just had 4 new tyres fitted to my black alloys so what could the problem possibly be? Bright silver balance weights gleaming between the spokes. Aaaaargh!

This is a handy video showing how to dismantle the dash: https://youtu.be/vzL4PNxddyM

If it's the PID that came before the switch to the Move & Fun app you may well be out of luck. Skoda stopped supporting the PID a couple of years ago so there's a fair chance Seat and VW stopped too. I can still plug my sons into the PC to see all the folders but the Skoda website that updated maps etc no longer exists. With a bit of fiddling and pretending you've got a VW you could update the map here: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/myvolkswagen/navigation-map-update.html?---={"myvolkswagen_navigation-map-update_featureappsection"%3A"%2F%3F{\"selectedCarId\"%3A\"upFrom2016\"%2C\"selectedNaviId\"%3A\"garmin\"}"}

Unfortunately you won't be able to update it as Skoda withdrew support a couple of years ago and the website that you used for the updates was closed down.

Not that I could find I'm afraid, it is a real bugger to access as is the cabin filter when you come to change it 🙁

Aftermarket Head Units/Radios - Looking for inspiration
thebrighton replied to P3P5I's topic in Škoda Citigo
My Citigo is a Nov 2016 model and has always been a halfway house. New radio, headlights and Move & Fun App instead of the PID but old bonnet and fog lamps. At the time it was supposedly the facelift model so not impressed when a few months later more updates were made.....
