Brakes or sensor?
@Martini06 - From the above, you have an ABS or traction control, or both, fault. You need a respectable diagnostic computer to take that any further, fix the fault, and get the fault lights to stay out. But that's not a stopper. You also seem to have a servo fault, but I advise driving the car no further than a local garage until that has been repaired.

Help
From what you've said, yes, or a blocked oil pickup. Also the sender has a capillary tube in it, and I have no idea how you cleaned it.

Timing belt, tight in one side, little loose in the other side.
Your test is invalid. You only actually test free play on the longest run, but that does look OK yes.

Service Conundrum
And the best you can do with a main stealer tends to be "they're ok". I'd go with Unit 18 over a serial issue denier every time.

Kick when going in reverse
Agreed; this sort of thing is actually fairly characteristic of conventional autos, paddle shift and DSG.

Lane assist is dangerous
Are you having a reading FAIL? I said that I have the choice of driving in ruts of water like lane enforce wants, or on dry tarmac to the side of the lane! And I never once mentioned cruise control, whether simple constant throttle, constant road speed or full ACC.

Lane assist is dangerous
OK worked example. You're driving down a lane of road with wheel ruts worn in it on a wet day. The ruts are filled with water? Do you do what lane enforce wants and drive in said ruts, or drive outside them but still between the white lines, and fighting lane enforce's insistence that you're trying to depart from your lane?

Changing battery
Well, not if the battery wants to change anyway.

Lane assist is dangerous
Thanks for the videos; well worth 10 minutes of my time to watch them, but they didn't actually prove your argument that "lane enforce" is anything more than an unnecessary technology provided the driver is actually a driver and not just a wheel holder. They did prove my argument (way off topic) that road train drivers are very much more than just wheel holders; they actually drive those wagons. BTW I have taken and passed a driving assessment for a PSV licence, although I failed the medical on eyesight grounds.

No. But are we counting deliberately unsignalled (because there is no-one to signal to) turns, and maybe a bit of straight lining as "wandering off line", because I don't but apparently "Lane Enforce Assist" does.

Climatronic A/C: blower/fan always running?
Yes. How hard depends on the demand and ambient temperatures.
-
Lane assist is dangerous
Not what I said; I said that wandering is an indication to me that I should take a break.

I can not find the reason of the negative camber.
Driver sitting on the left, loads the LHF spring more.

Kick when going in reverse
Something not right then. If it had been on selection I'd have said it was normal.
-
Lane assist is dangerous
Big hint; in the UK the speed limit in roadworks tends to be somewhere between 50 and 80kph. Also. if I'm wandering to the edge of my lane it's a warning that I should take a break now.

Be aware if EV charging in Scotland next week chargers may not be available. 'Charge Place Scotland' / Swarco / Evolt. Change over next week starting Monday 26th July.
You're not wrong there. Imagine if this was happening in a merger between 2 banks for example...

I think @threadbear means that a potentially dangerous interference like this should never have been installed or enabled.

Which transmission?

Clicking sound from climate/radio (2014 yeti 1.2)
If your car has real buttons, and not a touch screen, I suggest 10 minutes of flapperobics.

Kodiaq, Snapped Steering Column (now Steering Rack)
Well, I've never known a steering rack break except through active abuse. Even then the track rod usually bends first.
