Hi All

I am the proud owner of a greentech SE of only 2 weeks. Had a bit of problems with stop start, the stop start not working after a motorway run ( could it be low battery?) Now its fine again ! 

My main question is re the gearbox. On the Honest John site it says citigo gearboxes are having quality problems, but there are no mention of it on his reference to the Up!. 

Are the two gearboxes the same or have they been tweeked a bit to make them different ?

I very much expect them to be the same, but I have never heard of any gearbox problems on them

My gearbox was fine, put 11k on it now sold for something with a larger boot and 3 seats in the rear.

 

Re the stop/start there are many reasons for it not functioning, low battery is one, having your heater/blower/aircon set to windscreen could be another, a few more too like high/low temps. All in the manual about this.

 

My Toledo has stop/start, a couple of times I have moved the steering wheel and it has fired the engine up again, or may be resting your foot on the clutch pedal is enough.

Same gearbox, same engine and the majority of  other parts are identical.

 

Built on the same production line in the same factory together with the Seat Mii.

 

The only real differences are trim colours,  front and rear styling and badges.

I've heard on the grape vine that the Yorkshire Version of the Volkswagon " The Aye Up " has an Traditional Yorkshire Gear Box

 

It's a large wheel in a box, if you keep putting food in it will go on for ever, no oil required

 

 

 

 

There were three types. 2 manual and an auto Auto. The difference with the manual boxes was the final drive ratio for the 60 and 75 Hp (Our 75 green tech has a NZF). Then they moved the reverse gear and don't know from then? 

A lot of the problems associated with the gearboxes was in fact the clutch pedal mechanism and not the gearbox.

Can't see why the Mii or UP would have a different model.

Older gearbox is a bit noisier, than new model. That's all. For someone it is a "problem" even though it's not really.

I'd heard it did need oil. Apparently they squeak a little :p
