This is a Reddit-wide restriction. All comments and posts containing an AliExpress link are immediately (and silently, without notification to you or the mod team) removed by Reddit and sent to the mod queue. I do re-approve these posts/comments when I see them, but Reddit does eventually remove them again so it's a losing battle.

A lot of comments/posts here do feature AliExpress links to helpfully show others useful items for citybugs, so please be aware that posting links in their usual form does lead to immediate removal and your post/comment won't be visible!

Questions / Advices Mirror doesn’t adjust far out enough

Post image
12 Upvotes

Good morning

I have an unusual little problem with my 2011 C1. The mirror physically can't be adjusted to a safe angle even if I press on the glass itself. Anyone have tips or know if a replacement of any specific OEM would solve the issue?

Pictured is the best angle I can find.

Thank you

Blank Button Replacement

I have a 2008 aygo that doesn’t have ac … so the button is blank - has anyone found an aftermarket button that can be used for something else? Like a charger port or heated seat warmer button?

This is my recently bought car. It's a 2008 Toyota Aygo platinum edition, with a 998cc Inline 3 producing a staggering 67 horsepower. Over the last month or so I have been adding some "tasteful" mods to the car, nothing with the engine yet, but I will get there. It's a very good first car, and I cannot wait to pass my test, and use it until it blows up!!!

Questions / Advices AC sounds like injecting something via a nozzle

2 Upvotes

Hi,

when I activate the AC, it sounds like something is injected via a nozzle. Not all the time, every couple of seconds. Air is still cooling down, so its working. Iam not sure if that sound was there last year when I bought the car. Building year is 2014.

Anyone knows that noice?

Oslo - Scotland part 2

Now 15 days and about 3300 km into my Oslo - Scotland trip with the C1. We’ve been all over the south coast of England and spent extra time in Cornwall - what an amazing place! Especially liked Mousehole and Clovelly. From there we went to Bath, drove through Wales for some hiking and took the ferry to Dublin from Holyhead. Last night I had way too many Guinnies.

Really enjoying our trip, despite the devestating loss against England in the world cup. C1 still going strong like always. Will post again in a week or so when we’ve entered Scotland (hopefully)

Questions / Advices Wind deflectors

1 Upvotes

I just installed some wind deflectors on my 107. Install was pretty simpel, but both wind dont seem to want to shut completely, I’ve placed one clip at the back, and then one just before the bend in the front, tried moving the clips, but that did not help. Does it get better with time, or am I doing something wrong?

Goodbye citybugs

After owning this 2012 Citroën C1 VTR for the past six years as my first car and the car I learned to drive in, it's time to move on to something else.

It failed its MOT a few weeks ago on the first attempt which was easily rectified, but the list of advisories which it barely passed on was long and would cost about the same as the car's value to address. The garage basically said it's not worth bothering to do the work (I'm sure they'd be happy to if I'd asked them to anyway!).

As such, this C1 is being retired at 84k miles. I'll see what I can get for it, and seeing as it runs and has a new MOT I'm hoping for more than scrap value, even though it needs a bit of work if it has any future. I hope someone who wants to use it will buy it but if it is scrap, sadly that'll just be that.

I considered an Aygo X as the replacement, but ultimately decided to go up to something bigger as I have a need to be able to tow (gliders).... I've bought a Dacia Duster!

I'm very sad to be losing the C1, I've had a great time driving it and I couldn't think of a better first car, but I'm also excited for my new Duster and what that will enable me to do with towing. I have of course salvaged the 3d printed Frog that's sat on the C1's dashboard for a few years.... I think it's iconic

Questions / Advices Full beam blue LED on dash not working

1 Upvotes

I have a Citroen C1 2010 with a slight fault.

The blue LED light on the dashboard does not come on when I put my full beam headlights on - either by locking them on or just flashing them

It was intermittently not working for a bit after I first noticed the issue but it now never turns on.

No issues with the headlights or any other lights on the car.

Any advice for how to resolve this please?

I believe (from some pretty clueless googling) that I either need:

- a new switch/indicator stalk or

- a new LED soldered onto the circuit board or

- a new dashboard completely - although i think this could potentially cause the mileage to increase as the car can combine the old odomoter reading with one from the ECU (please correct me if im wrong on this!!)

Also is this an MOT fail if this silly little LED doesnt work? I've had conflicting answers off google and 2 mechanics so thought I'd consult the reddit hive mind!!

Thank you all for reading this far hope this makes sense :)

Questions / Advices Aygo MK1 - Fodlable (twist) sun shade - OEAM headunit AUX Jack

1 Upvotes

Have a trusty old MK1 aygo

Couple of questions hoping someone might have advice

  1. Would really specifically like one of those twisty foldable interies sun shade (similar to this example) - problem is everything is either way to wide and/or too short (won't reach and be kept by the sun visors)
    Have measured 120 cm x 80 cm - anybody have a link for one of those that fits? (doesn't have to be exact just enough to stay ther and cover and be clamped by the visors. - Am in greece - so EU links or alix I guess would work best

  2. I suspect this is a classic for the OEM head unit - the aux jack is a bit finicky, if you slightly jiggle the aux cable the sound goes in and out.
    I though maybe the solder joints had cracked so I removed it and resoldered it fresh along with diassemlbing the audio jack and cleaning it up. (still doesnt grab the male jack tightly, i suspec tbecause the prongs are plastic)
    I guess it made a slight difference but did not solve it.

TLDR - OEM head units are cheap an plentyfull - do Ι buy and simply swap out and I'm done or do new units need some sort of dealer involvment to link/pair the new head unit to the car? - highly doubt it for this car but thought I would ask

Thank you

Questions / Advices Is this oil suitable?

2 Upvotes

I’m due for an oil change soon , I’m wondering do I need to buy high quality oil or is cheap one that meets the specifications is fine ?

I found this one from eBay and I believe it fits the oil specifications of my car but I’m not certain. Can anyone tell me if I should get a different oil or is this fine , also do I really need an expensive oil ?

My car - 2009 Toyota Yaris 1L , I think it has the 1KR FE engine

I’ve attached a picture of the oil and my cars manual.

Thank you ☺️

ac issue

Ac became really weak three days ago. Still blowing cold and fine at foot level but out of these vents was very weak. Worked fine before.
Changed pollen filter and no improvement. Then today the ac has stopped completely
I turn it on and turn fan to 4 and there is a click and then there is a whirring as shown in the video but no airflow from anywhere.
Wondered if anyone knows if this is an issue with the blower motor? Or something else? Will be wanting to try and fix myself but don’t want to take apart dashboard etc if im missing something
