My yeti 170 tdi is 5yr old this month, has only done 38000 miles, I think the cam belt should be changed soon, what do others think bearing in mind the mileage

My friend is selling his 1.5 Karoq , owners of bigger Skoda have battery problems that take a month to replace. what is going on, I have had 8 new Skoda in 19 yrs never any problems, I don’t think I will be buying another Skoda. The customer service in Skoda Uk seems to going into free fall, they used to be so good

Just seen pictures of the new Octavia being launched later in year in Auto Express. It reminds me of latest Audi A6, supposed to be a move upmarket in quality of fit and finish. Very nice

How about fitting wheel arch liners The best investment you can fit to black betty cost about £75 Also painting the brake drums in black hammerite

Hi turboman There is fitting guide in technical guide section of site. The holes are already there but are covered by paper discs at factory and then undersealed. When you get the liners and adapters they have holes already drilled in liners. First you swap the black plastic caps in front of wheel arches the first hole is on that and if you offer up the liner in place and poke around with a small headed screwdriver you feel give where the holes are. These holes are square in shape so gently cut or scrape away the sealer. You then push in the insert plugs then srew in the Torx bolts. The liners and adapters have to be ordered from vw dealer apparently My dealer fitted them free of charge, they make a huge difference especially on wet roads but even in the dry it is quieter. The technical guide shows photos for fitting plus the part numbers Good luck

I got 1st Citigo in 2012 and painted drums with Hammerite black paint, after 2 years they were as good as new. Got another Citigo 4 weeks ago and painted drums straight away, also got wheel arch liners and it kills the noise of rain spray

The June issue Citigo brochure had convenience pack in but shortly after it was deleted on web site. I ordered my car on 8th July then about 3 weeks later noticed on web site that convenience pack was back on as an option. I went straight in to the dealers, the salesman did not know about it but the manager said there was a bulletin about it the previous day, so they did alteration to order. I received car on 17/10/14 after waiting 14 weeks and it had all options I had ordered. My car was built in week 34 and Continental tyres fitted were made in week 30 so car is very fresh. It was well worth £310 for sensors and cruise control FANTASTIC

I have fitted grey felt to boot sides. I got the felt from a local scrap yard. It was taken from rear seat backs from a Fabia. The I used cereal packet cardboard for a template, cut to size then glued in place It cuts down noise in conjunction with wheel arch liners kit. The back of car is very quiet especially in rain, it makes a big difference.

Emil maybe we get more rain in Scotland than you because all Citigo and Fabias brake drums here look rusty after a short time. No need for heat resistant paint. Maybe I do not use brakes hard enough.

The tornado red is faster and looks brilliant wth life shine. It's not quite as bright as carrida red. My son calls it a tomato on wheels but I don't care. Had to wait 14 weeks for mine with extras and now they can be ordered with dab radio, there's no justice

I had no problems with Garmin and Bluetooth till I put in an sd card, then had to select it from menu, took sd card out again and get fast Bluetooth connections again

I also have Thule bars, the front ones have pegs to locate when front doors opened. The rear ones do not have pegs and have to be measured so that they are equal distance from front ones . They are more aerodynamic than Skoda version and very quiet, mine are the aero models

Yes the Garmin is faster than Navigon , but I cannot get a female voice on sat nav directions like I did on Navigon. It is also much faster with Bluetooth it picks up music on phone quicker Also will speak text messages now

I find the headlights are very good as standard and I am on my 2nd Citigo. They are much better than 2009 Fabia I had.

I now have 75 bhp Citigo where the max power is at 6200rpm but it still red lines at 6000 just like 60 bhhp model
