Sorry for the late reply, I've only just seen this. The adrenaline of having to take it to the garage first thing in the morning so that my son could travel back to Uni took a while to wear off! 😁 Was it wrong to feel a bit vindicated when my very experienced mechanic also seemed to be having bother with it? Anyway, he nipped into the office to get something and the young lad mechanic strolled over and fiddled for about 5 seconds and popped it in. The lovely guys didn't even charge me. They know I'm going back for all my service needs. Thanks very much for the linked info. I still have the new bulbs for my own car sitting waiting to be put in, I might pass them in when it goes in for it's service

Oh great, Thanks both! We've not had the volume problem yet, so that's a treat for later... the shortcut is a great help though so thanks again

Thanks Dave, at least we know what to do now and that it's not just us. Never move off usually without the screen already fired up as need to remove the lane assist before driving as it's a pain in the arse.

Fixed via Youtube! Hold the button in for 10 seconds to reset.

Hi folks, We have a 71 plate 1.5 tsi SE L and today after washing the car, the screen is completely blank (and therefore no music/sat nav/parking sensors/aircon etc). In normal IT style, we've tried turning it off and on again.... Presume it will need to be a "take it to the dealership" job but wondering if there is something obvious that we've missed trying. Anyone come across this before? Thanks for any help.

Sorry, it's H7 bulbs, didn't realise I'd hit the shift key. And yes, in the UK. I'm in Stirling, Scotland.

So I have my H& bulbs, replacing the ones in my son's car first as he's heading back to Uni tomorrow, Got one changed without too much bother but the other one was a bother to get out and now It won't clip back in, gahhh. Any tips? There seems to be no decent youtube videos unfortunately. If all else fails, I'm going to have to see if the garage is free early tomorrow to do it for me. Can't obviously take it anywhere until it's light 🥵

Thanks Steve, much appreciated. There are definitely two bulbs (in the Colour edition anyway). My son is out with the other one so I'll check it later/tomorrow and then get ordering. I'm aware of the faster burn out but to be fair, neither car does many miles so wont be as impactive as it otherwise might. The cars are both 67 plates and the one I mainly use has 8k on it and the other about 14k. One of my son's uses this mostly and he takes it away to Uni even further north with less daylight. He has the benefit of young eyes but he has to drive on unlit NSL roads regularly. I think the plan is to replace the bulbs in both but keep some more basic (aka cheaper) bulbs in the glovebox for emergencies.

Thank you Chris, I'll check that out 😊

Thanks, those were one of the bulbs I was looking at, fed up of trying to drive with the original ones. I suspected I might have to take them out to see but I'm worried if I break one (or two) then we are stuffed and unable to use the car until the new ones arrive. Not much in the way of daylight at the moment!

Hi, hope you folks can help. I'm looking to get a bit brighter bulbs for our two CitiGos but keep coming across conflicting info about what size I need and I want to get it right before ordering. Both are 67 plate, one is a colour edition and the other a SE. Anyone know for definite or how I could find out. I've tried all the websites putting in reg no etc and most say H4 but some say H7. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for any help you can give. Also open to any opinions on bulbs 😊

Thanks for that Carlston. There are a couple of choices of spares in the brochure in the UK. We'll just need to decide and order in what we need.

Oh thanks for that link @Wino, it wasn't visible to me when i was typing my previous reply.

To be honest we got a good deal on the car, and he's putting it in to get it properly ceramic coated at a fair cost, I think the extra for the tyre should just be added on for peace of mind in the hope that it never needs used either. Looking forward to the upgrade but quite sad to see the old car go. It's never failed an MOT and only needed stuff like new tyres/brake pads and the occasional bulb or washer blade. Biggest cost was getting the timing belt done. We really can't complain.

Not one puncture in 10 and half years is pretty good though, I wonder what the record is?
