Beddau

Would someone let me know , how to check the timing belt for wear on my 2016 Citigo. It appears to have a plastic cover over the top of the belt, is it a simple job to remove the cover & have a good look at the belt, is it possible to turn the engine over in increments to fully check the full belt length.

I have had a bit of an outing with TPMS. Only had the car for four weeks. After driving for a few miles, the tpms warning came up checked all tyre pressures N/S front showed 20 psi so I pumped it up to 32 psi after a few days a 10 miles or tpms warning again checked n/s front down to 20 psi. ordered a spare wheel put on the spare & took the deflating one to my tyre specialist & he found a micro small leak from the inner part of the alloy wheel probably caused by accident damage as the car had been in a punch up but fully repaired. I order a good wheel from E-Bay & had the tyre fitted from the leaking wheel. all fixed now. The next day while on the motorway tpms came on again pulled over & fitted the spare onto NSF. When I got home Checked the pressure on the NSF that I taken off & the pressure was 32 psi. took off the spare & fitted the alloy back on. Checked all tyre pressures all OK reset TPMS & no warning has shown for a week, fingers crossed. My TPMS warning is just the tyre image indicates when something is wrong but it tells lies. and wastes time faffing about for a loss of pressure that is not their. So the chances are that I am not suppose to have sensors on each wheel & thats why I can't find any. So the ABS system does the job. Thanks for the advice, but I am to old to be be messing about with tyres at my age, after 60 years of motoring & 40 different cars which I have never had a tyre problem before it seems crazy that I had to change a wheel on the hard shoulder of a motorway in the dark on a 3 year old car.

I have carried out a full check from above with a lamp & it all looks OK so I will check it weekly on my Saturday morning checks.

Found easy way to secure my steering rack gaiters. Took to my local garage they repositioned the gaiters & fitted new strong ties up on the ramp job done cost £27.

Yes all Citigos post 2015 have TPMS I am trying to find out why my system is working when removing a tyre off the wheel there is no TPMS sensor fitted I purchased another wheel from E-Bay for a 2016 Citigo & the replacement wheel has no sensor only the valve yet tyre pressure monitoring is working, so is the TPMS gettingits information from the ABS sytem>.

Yes engine letters are CHYA

Thanks for that I will double check the information I have which is on my V5 doc but will check on the vehicle as well & enter it on my page with photo. Thank you again, this site is very organised

Where does the TPMS get its information from on my 2016 Citigo, There appears to be no sensors on my wheels just ordinary valves. Does it collect information from the ABS units?

Many thanks for this useful information

Looking at my Citigo this morning noticed that the steering rack gaiters inners which had no circlips were not connected to the rack itself, infact you can see the working part of the rack. So I jacked up the front of the car & put it on stands. Tried access from the wheel arches to push the gaiters into place but found it impossible to push the gaiters back & secure them with nylon ties. I don't fancy working underneath the car & access looks a bit limited anyway. I will have to take it to a local Garage & put it up on a ramp. Has anyone changed their steering rack gaiters on the citigo & how did they manage it, any advice would be much appreciated

Checking out the NSF wheel of my recently acquired 2016 Black edition Citigo, I found there was no TPMS fitted . How does this effect the behaviour of the pressure warning system.
