  1. I also suffered from this creaking but thankfully it has finally been fixed! Mine was also worse carrying a passenger or luggage and in hot weather. I had to visit the dealer in Winchester 5 times before it was sorted Once for the 30k service when it was returned as NFF Twice to demonstrate to a technician Third to have Top mounts replaced, one was broken Fourth to have shock abs replaced Fifth to have suspension bushes replaced, they were vague about which ones This last visit was 3 weeks ago so my dealer should be up to speed on what to do if you were in o contact them Hope this helps. Nil Desperandum

    I had the clutch plate replaced under warranty on my 2/14 built 75 Greentech at 10k as the release bearing got really noisy. That improved the gear selection when stationary, it still baulks sometimes but not nearly as much as it did. It used to be a real pain with the Stop/Start as when you tried to select first in a traffic queue it wouldnt select without a further declutch. Touch wood everything is fine at 28k
  3. I had the aerial base replaced about a year ago at the 10k service which improved things slightly but they refused to do it again at 20k as they said signal strength was OK in the workshop. I replaced the mast with a longer spiral wound one from Halfords and it made a big difference, although still not as good as my previous Fabia or thei loan Rapid. You can check signal quality by holding down he Menu button for 10 secs until it beeps and then scrolling to Q. I was surprised just how often the Quality is Mono or Poor.
  4. Sorry no I dont have the part numbers - it was a couple of years ago. I do remember it was a satisfying job to do particularly when you locate the holes for the screw fittings!
  5. I fitted the liners from the e Up as I read on an Up forum that they were a better fit than the Cross Up and have some sound deadening on them.They were easy to fit with no cutting required on the Citigo. I cant comment on how they fit with Mudflaps though as I dont have them. The parts man at Winchester Skoda was very helpful. They definitely reduced road noise particularly when its wet. Couldnt agree more about Hampshires rural roads!
  6. I have had the same problem twice, when you crank itsounds like the starter hasnt engaged properly and what is even stranger is that when I turned the key back from the crank position the starter kept on spinning! I switched off completely and it stopped. A second attempt was the same but I left it spinning and heard it get faster until the engine started and all has been well since. If anyone else has had this and got it fixed any advicewould be appreciated.
  7. New lower price £145 as I have just put new winters on my new Citigo and the garage is getting a bit full!
  8. On the latest Configurator pages for the there are definitely 2 window switches shown. There is also a new switch by the 12v socket but can't tell what it is.
  9. The bottom line of my post has vanished £ 185 and collect from hants/Berks border near Tadley RG26
  10. Having replaced my Fabia Elegance with a Citigo I have the following for sale 4 x ESA Tecar Super Grip7 Winter tyres 185/55 R15 82 T http://www.tecar.com/en/wintertyres.aspx on Skoda supplied steel wheels Part no W6Q0601027M03C supplied 12/10 so have done 4 winters. All in good condition with no kerbing or dents and only used with wheeltrims fitted 2 tyres have 7mm tread, 1 has 6mm and one is mostly 6mm but 5mm on outside edge. 4 x Skoda wheeltrims Part No WCDB700002 in good condition but two have small scrapes see photo I purchased the tyres direct from reifen.com as they got good reviews and although they havent seen much snow I have found them to be much quieter and more comfortable then the 205/45 Contis and they grip much better when it is cold and wet or icy £185 for the lot with collection from the Hants/Berks area
  11. I too have had poor reception at times so I checked my aerial yesterday and found a small piece of plastic swarf at the bottom of the screw thread which stopped it being tightened fully. Today the radio was fine in the areas where I was getting crackle before. It could just be that the clearer weather but it was a big improvement.
  12. I too have had the clutch pedal click from about 500 miles but this week at 7000miles it has disappeared! I have also had the clonk from the clutch itself when re engaging the clutch on upshifts but this seems to be diminishing as well. It's amazing how much better quality the car seems with the clutch click gone
  13. Are there any electrics experts among us? I am most definitely not one but with Multiplex wiring I believe that in theory any switch can activate any device if it can "see" the relevant control unit. Would it be possible with modifications to the relevant control units,to utilise the Left/Right switch on the Mirror adjuster so that in the Left position the Window switch on the Drivers door could operate the Passenger window?
  14. Which liners did you get? there is a post in the Up owners forum that says the liners from the E Up are a better fit than the ones from the Cross Up and also have some insulation on them. Part Nos 12E 810 969/970 http://www.upownersclub.co.uk/forum/ordered-rear-wheel-arch-liners_topic4671_post53439.html?KW=wheel+arch+liner#53439 I have also read somewhere but cant find it again so I may have imagined it! that recently built Ups have rear liners already fitted. If this is the case might it apply to Citigos as well? Could someone with a recently delivered car have a look. Mine is being built next week and dont want to order if I dont need to.
