hi new citigo owner

I've been a member for a while and this is my 3rd skoda. I've had a fab vrs and then a octavia l n k estate which has just died unfortunately so I took the plunge and brought a new citigo monte in red.
Been very impressed so far if missing a little response from my right foot lol.
I wanted to ask the new car is a little slow on idle and has stalled a couple of times when sitting at lights. Would this be normal for new engine. I was given very little info on running in a new engine apart from don't red line it or drive it like I stole it, not particularly useful. Any info on how long should be gentle with her would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Has anyone got a photo with the dynamic interior.  I have optioned this just based on the configurator but have not seen it in the photo flesh, so to speak. Looking forward to a November delivery.

Tried it today and pretty much ran two friends over! Was in first gear gently accelerating towards them and it did nothing!

Might have to do a test with some boxes to check the system, but I wasn't impressed!

Citigo seat swap

Hi everyone. I've been debating getting a Citico/Up!/Mii for a while now and pretty much everything on the bar is close to perfect bit I've never been a fan of the front seats. I just don't like the all in one look. Has anyone ever swapped their front seats for something different, from a Lupo for example? I had a good search through the forum but couldn't find any examples.

Many thanks

Swooshing Petrol Tank Noise

$
0
0

I own a citigo 1.0 automatic, I have had it just over a year now, what I have noticed is that when the petrol tank is full it is fine there is no Swooshing noise , but if the tank is half full or less there is this swooshing noise ( the petrol moving back and forth in the tank on acceleration & Braking) .

I have had this looked into by my Skoda garage and they say its an intermittent fault as it only happens when the tank is half full or less and this is normal as the tank sits under the drivers seat and there is less insulation in this area. I have never had this happen on any previous vehicles and just wondered if anyone on this forum has experienced this or can advise.

 

Many thanks in advance

Our previous Citigo Sport came supplied with a spacesaver spare but our new Monte just has the inflator tools. In an ideal world I would like to carry a proper full-size spare or failing that a spacesaver as second best. Does anyone know where I could source one at a good price?

Changed my bulbs in my citigo 2 years ago and one has just gone!

First Service Stamp?

$
0
0

My Black Edition Citigo has its first service tomorrow. I was hoping that you're able to get a stamp to say 'Hey! I've had my first service!' but I've been told that you don't get anything like that. Does anyone know if you can have a complimentary service stamp at the Skoda dealership?

 

On a separate issue, in my leather-style handbook containing owner's manual, roadside assistance details etc. there doesn't appear to be a service history book at all. There's a service schedule, but no service history book? Should I have been given one or is this provided at the dealership?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Kind regards -

Heat shield clip damage

$
0

So, something of interest you may find

The exhaust heat shield below the car is clipped in, one of the clips (possibly more) is broken and I was told this is a common fault

Apparently 3 in 5 or may have been 6 Citigos get this problem, it's an issue of the clip being a wrong size so it is replaced under warranty with a clip that fits, on the service sheet it says:

Exhaust heat shield broken around clip - this will be covered by warranty.

So when your car is next in for some work it may be worthwhile just mentioning this if it's still in warranty

Just stumbled across this! Looks lovely!

Anyone added extra instruments?

Been wondering whether to pimp my ride with some extra guages.

Thinking of adding a water temp., oil temp/pressure and maybe a vacuum guage.

 

Questions are.....................anyone done this and do you have pics/costs etc. Would this affect the ECU or warranty?

Bit "endy" on start up.

Apologies if this has been raised before.

 

Just lately my Citigo sounds very agricultural for the first five minutes on a cold start up. There is a very distinct and loud clattering which sounds like tappets but more like "ends"

 

Can I assume this is until the oil is circulated to the clattery parts?

 

Mine has only done 12500 miles and has two oil changes.

 

Should I be thinking of oil additives or maybe a better kind of oil??????

So, I discovered https://mot-history.net/ today, and decided to go through most current and "completed" Citigo & Up! listing on eBay and see whether there was anything I might need to get sorted before my MOT, and I though that perhaps someone else might think to do this and I could save them some time by posting my copy'n'pastes.

Citigo Mods Update

$
0
0
hey everyone,

been a while since I've posted, in my second year of uni so things have been a bit hectic and Mario has been a little bit left out, however this year I'm determined to make him part of my life again!

So first of all, all the mods I've carried out:

- BBS Alloys refurbished for 20 pound!
- MTEC Bulbs all round including white indicator bulds.
- Mud flaps
- Wind Deflectors
- Vinyl Stripes
- mk4 Golf interior light
- Pressed metal plates, not a mod as such but I like them.
- Raised boot floor
- VCDS self locking above 8kph
- Aluminium sports pedals
- Boot light
- Parcel shelf opening

What I wan't do to next:

- Custom sound system
- Possible remap??
- Lowering springs
- Vinyl wrap internal plastic items like air vents in red.
- Auto headlights (kit ordered)

My question to everyone is, what else could I do to this little red Citigo? I'm planning on keeping the car for as long as I can, so not that bothered about spending a bit of money on it as long as it makes life easier! Also does anyone have any experience with remaps? I know it's not going to be a massive performance gain at all, but even 88 which is what I've seen one company offer sounds good! For reference my Citigo is a 74ps GreenTech Elegance!

Thanks!
