A 62 plate Citigo was my sons first car when he passed his test and he's still got it 6 years later.

A Citigo is a group 1 or 2 depending on trim out of 50 so about as cheap to insure as you can get apart from the electric one that is group 12.

Has the blower completely stopped or just the 3 lower speeds? If so it could be the resistor for it blown. About a tenner to replace but half the dash needs to come out. Blower resistor - Škoda Citigo - BRISKODA

Both the SEAT and VW versions work with the Citigo. I tried them both to see if they were any better than Move and Fun but they weren't. I just used Google maps for satnav now as it is up to date and free.

Citigo's used to have a different fitting as satnav was a factory option. I forget the original make but latterly was a Garmin unit (my son has one in his Citigo). Around 2016 the Citigo had a facelift and the satnav option was dropped and this fitting was supplied. It holds your mobile and they then provided a satnav option as an app "Move and Fun". I tried to use this in my Citigo but it was poorly supported and riddled with gremlins (there are SEAT and VW versions available) so I ditched it. The plus point of the new fitting is the USB socket behind it which you can use to charge your phone.

I used this video (last post) to track down all the screws to replace my blower resistor. It involved half the dash!

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:

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.
