Headlight cover seems fine, but can't seem well how much smoke the projector has on it, I think I would insist on the bulbs, How many years are they on installed?

Cleaning Inside of Headlight Lens
Don't remember if it is possible or there is the appropriate space to take apart projectors from headlights then the cleaning will be easier? I will have to find time to disassemble mine to verify..

Try to change the bulbs with a new set and or your headlights might need internal lenses /projectors cleaning like mines need and which in going to have it done in the next days. I believe you'll then notice a big improvement. Can you show a picture of your headlights to see what's the condition?

HID means your system is xenon already.... What you mean?

Yes but need to be aware how to handle the bulb in the housing . In an average of 10 years, the bulbs would be good to be replaced both, they may tend to fade in years use especially in UK that they are used all the time. Perhaps replacing and fitting a decent Philips /Osram set could make things much better.

Bearing like noise audible at speeds over 60 kmh
In any case that no any wheel may have no bearing issues, i would guess issues with bearings in the gearbox/transmission. Exactly same situation faced in a VW Caddy, when speeding up the continuous noise was growing annoyingly and sounded exactly under the car, not tyres rolling.

What about putting first any other gear (1,3)and then try sliding the R (without leaving clutch)?

Cleaning Inside of Headlight Lens
What about inserting a micro fiber towel and going round and round, wouldn't remove the dirt normally?

Cleaning Inside of Headlight Lens
Aaaaaaa.... Right now I see how it was and what should be after cleaning... So mines seem to be a bit milky too, and noticed with other same age cars the difference..

How they seem really dirty, can it be seen outside the headlights really? My 2009 can't understand wether it is dirty or not, as the outside part is crystal clear... What a dirty projector could seem?

D1S LED replacement bulds
https://catalogue.phonocar.it/automotive-bulbs-led-bulbs-replacement-series/led-bulbs-d1s-d1r-replacement-series/1174 Any suggestion for this product as a direct LED bulb fitment ? They are rated 6k colour and the luminense seems to be high . Due to the projectors lenses of headlight , it will keep the cutoff range and will spread smoothly all the extra lightning ?? Only thought i have is the AFS2 and bending functions to keep on being smooth as to stronger light source in front?

1.4 tsi CAXA ecu update - help with software version?
As regarding misfiring, what type of fuel you're using, have you tried a richer one? I've heard this can improve related things (and not only)

2.0 tsi petrol how can I get a safe 300bhp ?
A decent ECU remap, cool packs and sparks and an K&N / JR air filter could easily receive at least 80+

Sidelight bulb holder removal in Octavia Elegance 2013 estate
You just use a long pliers and grab it firmly, swivel it and pull at the same time. It needs some quite force if you remove it for the first time.

1.4 TSI engine , Experiences and problems... ?
I have 173k (km) and still no plugs replaced... How would I notice any possible mulfunction or the need of putting new (all 4?) ? Is been some time when pressing hard accelerator, it has plenty of power to give but it shows some small cuts in that progressive power giving?

vrs tfsi tapping noise
Yes, the same, I not able to identify yet.... But I assume it'll need some parts removing to be able to perform some checks... I'll scan for possible fault codes if it proves to help..

vrs tfsi tapping noise
The same has started doing with my car, It's been some days now but it doesn't do everyday. Once it happens to hear then maybe after 2,3,4 days can repeat it. I surely source the noise coming from the glove box compartment area, but can't find what the _@ck is causing it. It reduces when climate works due to the revs being a bit higher on iddle (compressor operation). Have not connected any VCDS yet, I assume a relay base could have start playing? Does that area have a relay compartment to check it out if all OK in there?

1.4 TSI engine , Experiences and problems... ?
I will agree with Phil, I'm 170k (km) just the rattle I'm listening only if I leave car for over 3 days not worked as oil drains from the head. Otherwise not an issue. I had a turbo waste gate actuator failed at 80k but I managed to have it fixed in a specialist garage which it seems it still lasts. Also a noisy water pump to be replaced last year. Not any issues with oil as keep changing it sooner than Skoda indicates. A good engine with a decent Mpg. Generally pleased.

abs/traction control/steering wheel lights
Surely you have to scan for codes at the beginning. .

Stereo
Are you sure it drained battery? Given the MY of your car, it should have the Getaway module which does not carry this issue..

Basically it would be best to have car scanned for codes to identify better. You may have another different issue happened..
