Replacing right hand steering wheel control panel
Airbag will need to come off first. Both sets of button and the interconnecting plastic trim come off together. You can then unscrew the buttons from the plastic trim. I don't think they sell the buttons as individuals so you'll need to replace both. They shouldn't need coding if you get the right part number. Might be worth taking the buttons apart and checking for dirt/grim etc first though

Mode resets back to normal every time I switch off
I believe driver mode reset/memory is down to the CAN gateway software version. I'm currently trying to find which is the newest version which doesn't reset to normal. @SimonD316, @Scotty72 and @VRS_White_Hatch, do any of you know which CAN gateway your cars have? If you've ever had a VCDS autoscan done, it'll be mentioned in there. Other software such as OBDeleven should also report it. I think @SimonD316 may have VCDS? If you do, can you drop me a PM as it would be very helpful to see an autoscan and adaption maps for a MY19 vRS

Nope... There is a thread about it on VCDS forum: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/22068/

If you can dump the adaption channels for the BCM and gateway, feel free to chuck them over in a PM and I'll have a quick look over them

Infotainment & Lighting query
Yup, automatic mode works as expected so the ambient lighting, MIB and dashboard colours change when the driving mode changes. Individual mode works ish - it can use any colour set in Fahrprofil_7 without a problem. I think stock behaviour should let the driver change the individual colour by taking the current colour from the manual selection. This doesn't work Setting Ambiente_Fahrprofil_Individual to 7 makes the accent colour constantly change (~twice per second) between the colour set in Fahrprofil_7 and the colour set via the manual selection... From what I've found so far, this is down to the SW version of the CAN gateway.

Fitting a Pedalbox - where are the connectors?
Does it just connect between the throttle pedal and the car? You can see the connector on this ebay throttle: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/264270273515

Lots of regens
In Europe, the emissions scandal/diesel gate only effects the older EA189 engines. You have a EA288... All I can suggest is finding a similar but 'good' car and then making similar drives in both to compare various sensor output.

Lots of regens
The calculated value jumping is probably a failsafe as the measured soot hit 24g and caused the regen. Is the DPF sensor genuine and was it adapted after fitting? The measured value increased pretty quickly which seems strange. I still think the DPF has been messed with or possibly removed, especially on a car with 227000 km with apparently zero oil ash volume. I'd be tempted to find someone to re-flash the ECU with stock software and see what happens...

Amundsen MIB STD2 infotainment system with Android in Superb II
VCDS can't flash any modules, so nope Looks like I started with: Part No SW: 5J0 919 475 A HW: 5J0 919 475 A Coding: 10800E Which I recoded to: Coding: 30800E And eventually replaced with: Part No SW: 5J0 919 475 C HW: 5J0 919 475 A Coding: 308007 If you haven't already, I'd try recoding the park assist module as I'm pretty sure it has a 'camera fitted' bit.

Amundsen MIB STD2 infotainment system with Android in Superb II
You might need to recode or replace the parking sensor module I know I switched to a newer version from a Yeti but I can't remember what issue caused me to swap it.

Steering wheel replacement
I expect other parts numbers will also be compatible. For instance this might be OK but you should check first: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/four-spoke-steering-wheels-7/oem-3t0419091k-e74-multifunction-steering-wheel/#prettyPhoto If it has the wrong button symbol, you can reuse your existing buttons

Infotainment retrofitting
@Rgrc29 - The Bolero you have is one of the best headunits for the Yeti. The only 'better' options from Skoda would be the: - Bolero 5L0035200E which adds DAB - Amundsen 5L0035680D which adds satnav - Amundsen 5L0035200E which adds DAB and satnav None of these have bigger screens or any additional features aside from the differences mentioned above. If carplay is your only want, I'd suggest paying the upgrade cost for smartlink as it'll be by far the cheapest solution to your problem I would ignore the RCD330 suggestion, your current headunit is better, more stable and a cheaper route to carplay. If you do want a bigger screen, you'll need to look at aftermarket solutions

I've never come across the oil ash volume only reporting occasionally. I would suggest you update to the latest VCDS release and if there is still a problem with oil ash showing as 0.00ml, start a thread on rosstechs forum.

Skoda Octavia MK3 facelift 2019 fuse
There isn't a fuse specifically for the fog lights. As mentioned in the owners manual, you have one fuse for "lights - left" and one fuse for "lights - right" which will include the fog lights
-
Lots of regens
Oil ash volume of 0ml seems very unlikely for a 2015 car. How many miles/km has it covered? It's either a brand new dpf or it might have been cleaned or even removed? The oil quality being poor is normal for a car on fixed services (10k km/1 year). It doesn't mean the oil is bad 🙂

Pretty sure the rcd330 is for the previous generation of car so won't work in a MK3.

Kodiaq dsg knob swap
At a guess, the trim at the base of leather cover/boot is a different size/shape. Once you have the old one off, you can compare for any obvious differences and then make a decision if you need to transfer the leather cover/boot

Airbag light - I assume I need to go to dealer to reset?
Probably just needs the fault code clearing. Either a dealer or someone with VCDS or similar should be able to do it. Check the VCDS owners map to see if there is someone nearby: Or the VCDS owners list:

Skoda Superb ABS light, TCS light and Brake system light went on
It certainly could be a sensor or the reluctor ring and seems more likely than the ABS module. However, unless the OP is able to get the fault codes it's impossible to know which, if any, of the above are likely faulty. Let's confirm the problem before suggesting the OP starts spending money on possibly unneeded parts...? @AdityaG24 - you need to use VCDS or similar before you do any work for a few reasons: - it'll confirm the part number of your existing ABS module (if needed, you can buy the correct one first time) - it'll show any fault codes (to confirm the problem before spending money) - you can read the current coding (very important when replacing ABS modules!!!) No idea where to get cheap parts in India, in the UK I'd suggest eBay or a breakers/scrap yard - I assume the same is true for India?
