Nice, my wife loves hers especially the heated seats! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The Citigo along with the majority of manual cars have a clutch switch. Your car wouldn't crank if this was faulty. I don't think it's your crankshaft position sensor either as the car starts. Your cheapest option might be to get a cheap code reader that covers VW off eBay but this doesn't always give you the exact cause. If you are not mechanically minded it might be a better option to get a reputable local garage or mobile mechanic to look at it. This might be the quickest and cheapest option in the long run?

So is that Skoda getting worse or VW getting better?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Skoda dealers have a better reputation than VW dealers (in most cases)! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's what she wants but I keep telling her she will want her heated seats until Spring! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can't go by the price they quote they offer well below market value! Prices are low at this time of year but they do seem extra low on small cars. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Rattle has been sorted by the Bodyshop, apparently they hadn't fitted some bit of foam at the top of the wing? It is fine now and the scratches have been done as well. Wife is happy to have her heated seats back but she did enjoy the new Toyota Aygo hire car she had for 3 weeks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The repair was done by a Skoda approved body shop and we have had a satisfaction guarantee from Skoda. The wheel was sent away and checked and refurbed at a cost of £120. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It was touch and go, her 75 Elegance was 3 yrs and 1 week old when she has the crash and had gone to 13k miles that day. The insurance company sent someone out to look at it and they then asked the body shop to start stripping it to make sure there wasn't further damage. The only thing we weren't too pleased about was they didn't replace the road wheel it was refurbished! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No airbags went off, she was hit at 90 deg to her direction of travel with the road wheel taking most of the impact making the car undrivable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got to take the car back to the body shop on Friday to have a couple of scratches sorted so will speak to them then. So I take it there are no common rattles from that area?

But they are a body shop and they didn't touch the inside as there was no damage there, so why would they look at the rattle??

My wife has just got her Citigo back after it was hit whilst she was turning right at a roundabout. Most of the impact was taken by the NSF wheel damaging the bumper and wing as well as the steering and suspension. The repair took 3 weeks and cost £4K! The car is fine now but has gained a loud rattle from the passenger side of the dash/A post area! I guess something has been disturbed? Has anyone got any ideas? I doubt her warranty will cover rattles on a 3 year old car? It is annoying as it was fine beforehand! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wife's 3 year old Elegance was in for service and 1st MOT today, it has to go back in 2 weeks for a new heat shield under warranty, shame they don't keep them in stock! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My wife's 2012 has cruise control, 2nd best thing after the heated seats she says! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Couldn't agree more! Had an X'cite for the last 24 hrs while my car was in for a scratch to be repaired. I liked the look of the Aygo from the front and side although not so sure on the rear. The inside looks very young and fresh but the seats are very thin and the ride is no where near as big car feel as the Citigo. It will probably appeal to youngsters and it is better than the old model but it is just not as good a car overall! It is not a proper Toyota" Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My Toyota Yaris ices up worse than the wife's Citigo neither have any leaks but neither of us use the AC, perhaps we should. Wish my Yaris diesel warmed up as quickly as the Citigo! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That does sound quite long, more like my diesel. My wife's Citigo gets warm very quickly I would say about 1 mile.

Ye, another £150! Why not a no cost option?? Can't see it's worth £150 more than standard?

Isn't it a £150 option when ordering a new car?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Probably a completely different wiring loom as there won't be any wiring in the drivers door to do with the passenger window. This will make the job a lot more differcult and expensive for DIY! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

2nd year service done today including pollen filter £159, I supplied the oil, not too bad!

The wife's 62 plate had the control unit replaced today whilst in for its 2nd year service.

Had the wife's Citigo in for its 2nd year service today and mentioned the poor radio reception, the car is now booked in to go back for a Aeriel base unit, hope that does the job!

Ye my wife's is having 2 yr/20k mile service next Saturday, hers has done 8k miles, but that's the one because of mileage! Next year is brake fluid change as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
