UK - Passenger side wiper arm location
VAG have a feature where the wiper park position will move slightly. The idea is the wiper rubber will last longer as it's not always on the same position. Certainly doesn't look massively out of place to me...

VCDS options on Superb III
You'll need to upgrade your CAN gateway firmware to get the that working. I had similar issues on a MY18 Octavia - few details in this thread: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/479137-infotainment-lighting-query/ Short version, flashing the gateway from SW:4326 to SW:4344 solved it. After flashing it will need parameterising with a new dataset... No issues with component protection As you have SW:5323, you would need to find a suitable 5xxx firmware version, probably from a MY19 or newer car and dataset to fix it 👍

VCDS options on Superb III
@enisz - it'll probably work on a MY18... No idea how you do backup/restore with OBDeleven but as long as you make a note of the coding/adaption channel values before you make changes, you can set them back to the original values 👍 On a MY18, you should be able to get custom colours for each driving mode but you may have issues with individual mode. When coded properly and individual selected, my car would keep flipping between two colours - namely the one I last choose in manual and the one set in the adaptions. You can workaround this by tweaking the config so individual mode has a preset colour rather than trying to use the last set one. I was able to fix this properly by updating my CAN gateway firmware to 4344 - not possible with OBDeleven/VCDS. Everything now works correctly as it would in a MY19 car Few more details in this thread:

Option codes
If it's in the boot, it's probably an aftermarket towing kit...

CarPlay not working
Looking at the picture, the headunit is trying to start CarPlay. If this were a FeC issue, I would expect a message saying contact a dealer. Bored of guessing now given this thread started two months ago! Find a friend(s) with an iphone and a working CarPlay enabled car... You can then try all combinations to narrow this down: - Your car, your phone, your cable - Your car, your phone, their cable - Your car, their phone, your cable - Your car, their phone, their cable - Their car, your phone, your cable - Their car, your phone, their cable - Their car, their phone, your cable - Their car, their phone, their cable That will tell you exactly where your problems is likely to be... Alternatively, maybe try a headunit firmware update but I'd be surprised. Not much more I can add.

White smoke with burning rubber smell. What could cause this? 2018 Octavia 1.0 TSi
Assuming it's a manual... That sounds like you cooked the clutch.

VCDS LED error clearing on Skoda Yeti 2014 1.8 TSI
As I mentioned above.... VCP or ODIS-e and directly edit the lighting configuration.

Driver Assist menu/ Park Assist missing
Are you sure the sensors are original and not an aftermarket kit fitted by the previous owner? We don't have the Ambition in the UK but for example, I believe the base spec 'S' model did not have parking sensors as standard.

Coolant leak from auxiliary water pump
I had a similar leak on my second-hand 2018 vRS 245 which was fixed under warranty. You might want to try taking it to a Skoda garage as there is TPI 2049121/4 related to this. Including changes to how they were fitted: Even if they won't cover the full cost, you might get some good-will if it does match with the TPI

Parkpilot not available as well as glow plug issue
Without diagnostics, you would just be guessing and throwing parts at the car... I don't know where you're based but plenty of members here have VCDS or OBDeleven and should be able to perform a scan pretty easily: - map: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/224376-vcds-owners-map/ - list: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262215-list-of-vcds-owners-previously-known-as-vag-com-vcp-owners/

Parkpilot not available as well as glow plug issue
You should get it scanned with VCDS or similar, that should help narrow down the problem pretty quickly. A failed sensor or even buzzer can cause the park pilot to stop...

Rear fog lights only?
I think switching the front/rear fog light wires at the switch is the only way to achieve this 👍

9 Light Warning
If you have future issues, you'll need to take the fusebox apart to clean the contacts. I'd suggest keeping your eye on it as it can melt the fusebox due to the heat
-
9 Light Warning
Yes - check the fuse I mentioned...
-
Ecu
Possibly the CAN-bus gateway? They tend to be quite reliable but you'll need to check which version you have before buying a replacement. It'll also need coding in after replacing.
-
Ecu
You might need a little more description than 'the thing' 🤣 The ECU will connect to various sensors and controls on the engine. It'll also connect on to the powertrain CAN-bus which is how it communicates with other modules in the car, including the immobiliser and steering wheel controller to start it.
-
9 Light Warning
It'll be the normal issue that causes this Check the 30a fuse 16 in the engine bay fusebox. It tends to corrode causing overheating, bad connections and will disable all the lights you've mentioned. Ideally, you need to open the fuse box, clean/tightening the fuse terminals and possibly replace the fuse👍 Random example:

VCDS what do I need? - READ BEFORE BUYING
It is much more expensive over here unfortunately. Comparing direct vs Spain vs UK for example: 3-VIN HEX-V2 - $199 (€182) - €299 - £225 (€259) 10-VIN HEX-V2 - $299 (€273) - €399 - £299 ($345) Guess that makes the Spanish licence approximately €50 or so. Just be careful, anything significantly cheaper than that is likely to be a cloned interface which is not supported by Ross-tech. If you know anyone that's going to be in the US soon, they could bring one back for you 😉

VCDS what do I need? - READ BEFORE BUYING
Official distributor list is here: https://www.ross-tech.com/distributors.php If you want it in Spanish, you'll need to buy directly from one advertising it in Spanish (it will also include the English version): If you buy from an English distributor, it will only work with the English VCDS version as it's the distributors who create the translated versions

Weirdly worn brake disks
Reversing can also sometimes dislodge a stuck stone (assuming it's that).

Probably worth getting the cars scanned with VCDS or similar to give some better clues

Cornering lights
Cornering fogs were an option but the headlights also have a cornering light function. It's not massively bright or obvious so you've probably missed it 👍
