Citigo CNG 2014 upgrades

Featured Replies

Hi all, new here.

 

Have spent a lot of time modding/preparing bikes and cars for daily or expedition type trip use (using all friendly expertise help from whereever available). Worked for a while for VAG/Scania, but that is a very long time ago..

 

Can´t keeping my fingers away from helping wife out with her new Candy WHITE minicar, (already given a nickname - guess what!)

 

Idea is to improve this Little thing in some ways in order to keep driver and car it in best possible shape. - Unfortunately, despite being bought as a fully equpped dealers show car (950 kms), a lot of very important things are, in my eyes, missing in the standard delivery.

 

Some things have been easy and quick to attain, others are trickier, but with some useful help everything will be solved I guess. Perhaps we can Exchange info, some might find tparts of my information useful, and I am deeply grateful for any ideas on how to solve remaining points:

  • Rescue sheet (Skoda Citigo sheet; via ÖAMT/AA Austria and other sources)  Free!
  • LST 0U2 B9A, Vw Touch-up paint set B4B4/B9A.  (This is kinda interesting: dealers may offer an incorrect White variant of Candy White: F9E)

  • Still missing: sound isolation in Engine compartement. - The inside of the hood seems to be prepared for an original blanket, any ideas??).
  • Terodem sp200 (Heat/flame approved), Henkel/Loctites self adhesive noiseinsulation sheet for hoods etc  may be a temporary solution (why hasn´t VAG any this far !?? )
  • Better/ more supportive backrest-padding in front seats.  An DIY upcoming Project.. (have done this before in several vehicles with assistance of skilled Hot Rod builder-friend. Will report on outcome later on;  ETKA Picture suggests a slide-in sheet between metal support strings and seatheat sheet would be an option, just as it has been in a number of other vehicles with some real improvement as a result).  

 

See Ya,

 

Rodge
