Shouldn't the new battery have been coded differently to the old one, eg 1111111112, to let the system know it has been changed?

On my 2002 Octavia 1.8T 4x4 the engine build date was 4 weeks before the car build date. I think my 2007 Fabia vRS was the same.

From the OP's first post on Briskoda the car is a Skoda Octavia 1.5 TSI ACT SE DSG Euro 6.

RIP, John. You will be much missed by Briskoda members.

Have you read the first thread in this forum which is about timing chain failures? On page 7 you will see information on the fault codes which could indicate that this is the problem affecting your engine.

I own a 2015 Yeti Outdoor Elegance 1.2TSI DSG with loads of extras. The engine is the 105PS with a timing chain rather than the 110PS with a cam belt which you are considering. In nearly 60 years of driving it is one of the nicest and most practical of cars I have owned. I couldn't get a comfortable driving position in my previous 2010 Octavia II 1.8TSI Estate whereas the heated leather electric driver's seat in the Yeti is extremely adjustable and very comfortable. The car has recently had a P-Torque remap which has increased power to 130hp and torque to 215Nm - modest increases which improve overtaking performance noticeably and are well matched to the DSG. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Yeti but would not buy one with a sunroof given that leaks are problematic and potentially expensive to cure.

Been there and done that. You will have to go plastic then return the paper licence once you have the 21st century version.

Could my entry please be removed from the list, ie: Central - Little Paxton/St Neots = DGW = HEX+CAN

Ask the supplying dealer for printout the Vehicle Data information held on their Skoda computer system. Apart from showing full details of the status, contract type and start and finish dates for the warranty, it also lists all the PR numbers (option codes) and their descriptions for your car's full build. The vehicle data sticker in the boot of my Yeti lists 45 Pr numbers whereas the Vehicle Data printout lists all 207.

Starter dead but all other electrics working? When mine did this the cause was a broken feed (exciter wire?) from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. The wire was broken where it went into the connector plug at the solenoid. I believe that it is a very common fault. The RAC patrolman identified the fault almost immediately.

I think the noise you are hearing is the ABS self testing.
