DSG fault, possibly being ripped off by garage
I don't see how they can know most (maybe any?) of this without stripping the transmission.
-
Wiper noise
As above. Also clean the screens once using precipitated chalk (from a pharmacist; be prepared to explain what you want it for), and never wash them with car shampoo.

1.9tdi accelerator dead, glowplug flashing, engine fault.
@Lordbob - Reads like throttle position sensor to me. Particularly with a non-stock used item installed.

Wide Open Throttle Vibration
Possible clue to increased vibration?
-
Clutch problem??
Afraid so yes. I'd suggest asking them to advise on replacing the clutch (and DMF if fitted) when they drop the box.

Locking wheel nut key
No, but for once a Skoda dealership should be actually helpful.

Octavia MK2 Owners, worth a read
This is "sort of" correct, since Chemistry has adapted the (incorrect) USian misspelling.

Emissions Warning Light - glow plug
There wouldn't be, unless the weather was cold enough for a failed glow plug to cause starting issues.

the truth about electric cars
Not all real EVs have green plates.

Cracking in between the treads (long ways) - is it safe to drive?
They need replacing, with a different make, soon.

Regen problem?
OK, that positively has to be a rev counter fault; diesels normally have a governor at something like 4_700 rpm.

how do i trigger the washer fluid deflict light
TBH it's an FVCKing nuisance, because you have a warning light and buzzer just to say "screenwash low".
-
Regen problem?
Can you write in sentences and describe the fault fully? Knowing whether it's every start, cold starts only, hot starts only... On, and what is a "region" (sic) in this context?

how do i trigger the washer fluid deflict light
Exactly how you test the "low screenwash" light on my Elegance; let the screenwash drop below 0.5l left in tank.

What you ask about, and double it.

How much money should I be looking at...
Never heard of anyone applying this test to ABS sensors before.

Not revving properly
The engine is not working properly. Are you getting a Check Engine Light (CEL)? If so, then get the fault codes read to fin out what the issue is.

A very odd running issue (VRS)
@Rotsun Sorry, can't help further.

Mk1 VRS Clutch pedal slow return mystery
@Grafix I was wondering about the clutch hose too. At that price from a Skoda Stealer maybe check out Aeroquip and/or Hel before buying?

Tyre Wear - Karoq Sportline 1.5 tsi 2020
- If you'd been in Scotland I'd have wondered about Cumbernauld, East Kilbride or Glenrothes.

Meaning geographic location? If so, then telling us the exact spot involved may prove very diagnostic.

Can you ever fall in love with an EV the same way that people 'traditionally' have loved their petrol and diesel cars?
A82(T) out of the roundabout at 55.931864, -4.503334 Lambourghini Countach LP500. Driver realised the West-bound was clear and he had an audience, so gave it full bore. On his way back we were still there, and
