When did the window switches for the passenger & drivers side start to appear in the drivers door? (what year/build) Is this an easily doable upgrade to a car that has separate switches?
I locked myself out of the Citigo tonight,20 miles from home, with no spare key.
Guess how I did it ? 
So our Citigo ASG has now just had its 30,000mile service since we purchased it just over 2 years ago.
And how much have we spent on the servicing of the citigo in the 30,000miles.......... £NIL as we took the 0% finance which gave this added extra.
Worth noting that all the tyres are on 5mm (but this maybe assisted by the winter tyres we used for 4 months)
So owning a Citigo is painless as an ownership proposition from our point of view. The dealer is excellent and always gets top score on the surveys that skoda issue out.
It's worth pointing out that it feels as screwed together as the day we picked it up ! 
I'm currently looking to swap to a CitiGo/Mii or Up. Now I've had a couple of little test drives, I like the cars and they go well enough. One thing I have noticed is that for me to get into a comfortable driving position the steering wheel obscures a fair portion of the speedometer. Does anyone else notice this or does the speed appear in the digital portion anyway? I never checked,
Sup chaps,
Quick question, the exhaust on my partners citigo has snapped at the weld, just before the box in the centre.
She wants to keep the car as Skoda as much as possible, and is wondering, what is the cost of a new exhaust from Skoda themselves?
Tried ringing the dealers but they're closed until monday.
Just after a ball park figure, as were looking at KwikFit and some side street garages for quotes also, but we know these will be OEM parts.

Hi there,
I've had a used 2012 1.0 Citigo since last year, been very happy with it so far. But after a bout of cold weather earlier this year, the coolant warning light came on and it was very low. Since we had the baby in the car, I took the risk of driving home, bought some coolant and topped it up. No further problems, but I think there must be a leak because since then I've had to top it up twice (never because the light came on though -- after visual inspection).
It's not due for another service until end sept or about another 3,000 miles according to the schedule. But I'm starting to think maybe I should take it in to be looked at -- any opinions?
(Also leaving it 10,000 miles between oil changes makes me a bit nervous! I started motoring in the US, where every 3,000 miles was more common.)
Thanks!
Daft question, but can the oil filter be seen without crawling too far underneath the car? Thanks.
Hi
My heaters have stopped working and I'm pretty stumped as to why. Air con still turns on but the fans aren't blowing (hot or cold).
I've checked the fuse, which wasn't blown, and replaced it with a new one and I've also had the hu+heater controls out to check for loose wiring to no avail.
Everything seems to be fine so any help would be much appreciated .
Cheers.
I’m one of those weird types who read it. Could someone explain these bits to me?
Tyre pressure monitoring: Is the alarm intended just as a reminder that the pressure’s gone down a bit and needs topping up, or does it only flag up drastic pressure loss?
Setting the tyre pressure monitor: The manual says “Press the key and hold it down. The warning light… illuminates. An acoustic signal and the control indicator provide information about the storage pressure values. Press the symbol key. Release the symbol key.”
That’s confusing, because it’s telling me to press the key while it’s already telling me to hold it down. Do I
Fixed vs variable service level intervals: The manual says this makes the difference as to what oil to use. But I’m confused – every car I’ve ever had has a service interval of ‘x miles or 1 year’. I expect my bog-standard Citygo is serviced on the same basis. So is that 'fixed' or 'variable'?
Coolant: It seems to imply it goes in as a readymade add-in, not as a mix with water – is that true? It also talks about ‘the specified’ coolant but I can’t see it specified anywhere – is that a marking on the reservoir?
Oil replenishing: The instructions after taking the cap off, putting the oil in, and replacing the cap say ‘Pull the dipstick out as far as the stop’, even though the dipstick hadn’t even been mentioned before. What’s moved it to the wrong place?!
Also, here’s an odd thing. In the manual’s photo of the engine layout, the brake fluid is toward the back on the right. I was a bit puzzled when my Citigo had a big empty space there. A bit of hunting around located it toward the back on the left instead, in a really awkward and cramped place. Anyone know what that’s all about?
Hi all, we picked up a 14 plate Citigo yesterday and very pleased we are with it too.
On the drive home, we noticed the sat-nav was a little clunky, i.e. it seemed to turn itself off on route, and I therefore fully charged it overnight with a view to updating this morning.
Lo and behold, when I connected to Fresh this morning, it told me the OS was out of date and that it would perform an update. However, half-way through the download itself (i.e. it hadn't even started the update process) it came up with an error message, something about not being able to connect to the device. Now, I can't even turn it on, as it gets stuck on the Skoda splash screen on boot-up.
Presumably there's some way I can do a hard reset of the device back to factory settings, and then re-connect to Fresh and update from there?
Any assistance gratefully received.
Thanks
Pete
I have a Maps & Fun pid unit. Can someone advise how to do a hard reset.
Hi,
I've been reading/posting to this forum for around 18 months & am constantly surprised by the variety of topics which arise. Most appear to me to be items which have little relevance to driving the car.
Why get concerned about stripes, wheels, messing with various electronic bits? Why not just get with using the car & if something goes wrong post a query or return to the dealer/your favourite garage?
I see these are currently on offer with £500 deposit from dealer and £750 fuel card, so in effect you are paying £8750 new. Is this a good deal? Anyone own one? Is the 17MY "facelift" coming soon so they are trying to get them off stock?
When I leave the car parked, what usually happens is that on display I will end up with temperature instead of the clock, so every time I have to press the left button to change it back to clock. Is there a way to have clock as default? Mine is a plain edition, without the pack of electronic gadgets.
I'll just leave this here
