Push the start/stop button without your foot on the brake pedal.

Certainly sounds like you were in eco mode on that occasion and activated the kick down. On your other comments that the gearbox hangs on to gears and revs excessive, perhaps you are pulling back on the gear selector when selecting drive and engaging sports mode.

If ESR/ASR is deactivated you should have a yellow warning light on the dashboard depicting a car and squiggly lines.

Whoever fitted your tow bar would have needed access behind the rear panels, so they’ve probably either forgot to reconnect the socket when re fitting, or blown the fuse.

You either have to touch the indent on the handle ( can be done before all doors closed btw), or press the lock button on the remote. It cannot be set to lock doors without doing either of above.

I’ve got autohold on, and I’ve never used the EHB in my 3 years of ownership, the handbrake has always applied itself. Re-reading your post, if you press the EHB button you are actually disengaging the handbrake, you need to pull it up to apply.

The volume bar is only visible when making adjustments and not permanently on my Kodiaq.

Think you’ll find most cars, and some very much more money than what you’ve paid with LED lights suffer from this problem, and not just Skoda. The other cars you’ve had that had old school glass headlights, ( that were probably banned by elf and safety) , would have halogen or xenon lamps that produced heat that dispelled moisture, LED lights run cooler and all suffer from misting.

The arm rest slides back and forward and can be raised up as well.

Been well covered before, and the owners manual says it’s to be expected.

The latest update downloaded and unzipped to my 32gb SD card with no problems. Did you format to fat 32?

Did they check the transport blocks had been removed?

I had an update today as well. The dealer is expecting delivery early/mid September, but the arrival date is fluid and can often change with vehicles being delayed and equally arriving earlier than expected. Will provide a more accurate arrival date when car is built and has been shipped.

Certainly looks old school battery, and they’ve removed the stickers to hide the fact it’s the wrong type battery.

That gap does look large. For reference a picture of the Scala courtesy car I had when my Kodiaq was in for a service. As above I’d check the transport blocks have been removed.

Except that the Kodiaq has a micro hybrid/ smart alternator and tries to only really charge on the overrun to save fuel and emissions.

Instructions for superb but would imagine Kodiaq to be similar https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1878948/Skoda-Superb.html?page=18#manual

It doesn’t look broken, you have to engage the hinged clip first then flip it down to usual position. part No. 1K8955435

The “ high line”camera would have given you more view options and the dynamic guide lines.

Find a “specialist “ that actually is and knows what they are doing instead of changing parts willy nilly, and no doubt charging you for the privilege.

Do you have a dashcam or similar plugged in that would drain the battery. Do you use the car regularly, with a decent run to give the battery a chance to charge. If you are not using the car regularly it may be wise to invest in a charger to keep the battery topped up.

As you’ve found, you’ve bought the wrong car for short journeys.
