Chrome window trim fault
The strip looks a bit mangled, roughly in line with the "door locked" LED.

ride comfort - going from 18" 235-45 to 17" or 16". Has anyone done it?
With what size front discs?

1.2 TSI shuts down after start and could not be started again
Put away the parts cannon, and get the fault codes read by someone competent.

Temp gauge rising,fabia mk1
Or just old age; I've known very few plastic impeller water pumps make it past 1.5 cambelt lives.

Head gasket
Dunno. What I do know is that, if the head is flat, you must have had head lift. You can reuse that head, but it would be advisable to obtain and use a set of PD150 head bolts to prevent recurrence of the lift.

Felicia 1.3 upgrade
Well, if we're going that way (which I do know a little about) Weber 40DCOE, correct jets (don't know these) and an "up and over" intake manifold (puts the carb on the cold side of the engine) with a 3:1 exhaust manifold (presumes Siamese centre port head) and you'll be looking at 110bhp with a "safe" limit at 6_800rpm. You can get more with twin 40s, but that's heading for a "grenade engine".

Identifying a wheel dimensions
Yes, literally.

First service (and potential upselling?)
My 2p:- Have a hygrometer check of brake fluid done, Don't waste your money on snake o fuel "treatment". Can you guess what I think of Main Stealer upselling?

Felicia 1.3 upgrade
Changing an entire EMS is a known thing; see Emerald Systems and/or Megasquirt for example.
-
Felicia 1.3 upgrade
I don't think so, but an entire 1.6 transaxle will fit as long as you have the Felicia mounts as well as the original Golf/Polo ones.

Front wipers/central electrics control unit
Have you relubricated the spindles for the wiper linkage?
-
Possible to upgrade to an automatic climate control unit (climatronic)?
Yes, the usual sequence is:- Remove driver from car Replace car with one having Climatronic Install driver in new car.

Short Circuit in Rear Wiper
It's not a conventional short, since that would either blow the fuse or leave the wiper running non stop. It's probably a CANBus error on that circuit (and no I don't know how to trace those).

Turbo issue
Engine Management Light?

Skoda Yeti - xenon full beam - not working?
Big hint #2 - You (should) have 2 lights on on each side when you select main beam, one plasma discharge unit and 1 halogen bulb.
-
Skoda Yeti - xenon full beam - not working?
Easy peasy Japanesey - The (in this case RH) halogen bulb lights up. Switch the headlights on, set main beam, then walk to the front of the car and look.
-
Burning too much coolant....?
It's a sealed system, so unless it continues dropping rather than just dropping to a position such that "Min <= Level <= Max" and staying there I'd say situation normal.
-
Skoda Yeti - xenon full beam - not working?
Guessing this is Henry's? If so, then A for Audi charged half the labour rate the last time I was there, and would be more amenable to supplying pattern parts.

Another issue with my Climatronic.
IIRC Kwik{censored} have a "so much colder or it's free" policy as well.

Fabia VRS MK II DSG Gearbox failure
That is not what the OP said; he said it was working normally 2 days ago.

Required Help and Info regarding airbag light on dashboard
Can't see why; airbags normally only activate if the relevant seat(s) are occupied. Having said that, the airbag light is a latching warning light, and needs specialist software and/or a new module to deactivate anyway.

Heavy corrosion around the Turbo and I am still within 6 months of the purchase
@Phil82 - As @ApertureS says above, it's a cast iron part, and that's perfectly normal.

Vauxhall Corsa rental experience
Totally agree, except that it's not Just Coarsers but every FWD V@&xh@11 I've driven except a mark 1 Astra.

OK, start by checking the fan fuses, then the Climate controls (with VCDS or OBD-II).
