2006 1.9 OCTY VRS Cambelt
There might be a sticker on the cambelt cover or in the spare wheel area there should be a build sticker with the engine, gearbox, paint code and PR codes, the same sticker can be found in the service book as well, you really need this to ensure you get the correct cambelt kit

2006 1.9 OCTY VRS Cambelt
What engine code do you have ? ( engine serial number on logbook first set of letters is the code) Looking at the manual for the BWA code engine, the only locking pin required is for the Aux belt tensioner and normally a 1/8" drill bit works ok

Highbeam indicator in instrumentcluster not showing
Yes Pin 2 👍 a quick fix to pass the ETC just tee into the White wire on pin2 and put a blue light/bulb between the speedo unit and the dash surround ??

Highbeam indicator in instrumentcluster not showing
The feed for the warning light is teed into the left headlight main beam so if the main beam is working there should be a supply to the speedo (32 pin connector pin # 14) so nothing to do with the stalk

SKODA FABIA EML LIGHT
I had a feeling you would say it was an aftermarket part, unfortunately you get what you pay for, tbh I would see if there are any used ones on ebay that offer a warranty or try these guys https://www.stevensvwspares.com/ as the part is common across VAG cars

SKODA FABIA EML LIGHT
Where did you get the replacement pump from ? as there is very little in the circuit just the supply from fuse 29, a ground wire and a signal direct from the ECU

Haldex controller replacement
I wonder if the mounting lugs on the controller have been lengthened for more reliability and that's why they include new bolts ??
-
SKODA FABIA EML LIGHT
Are you getting any other fault codes flagged up ? as looking further at the wiring diagrams that fuse #29 also supplies the turbo control valve & the EGR valve so if that fuse has blown I would expect more fault codes to be shown ?

Google search on 0CQ598554 does show it as the control unit ?

Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 1.9TDI 66kw
From memory all the diagnostic "K" wires are spliced together behind the AC control panel area, might pay to check nothing has been disturbed in that area
