Welcome to the forum. I thought the Superb was actually biggest in class for rear space.

Could well be a loose baffle in one of the exhaust boxes.

@joeninho Have you had any resolution to this issue?

Great work, but could you explain what you mean by engine 'canting'?

@riby Did the dealer provide a second key FOC?

Most of the proposals I've seen do ask if cover has been declined by others. I've only been declined once, that was for a vehicle that had been a previous constructive write-off with only cosmetic damage. Probably best to declare it.

Welcome to the forum. Strongly suggest you 'pull the stick' more often until you get a sense of how much it's using - the TSI (EA888) engines, early ones particularly, can have a bit of a thirst for oil. A litre in 2K miles might be a bit high.

As E13 says above, engine is much better served if driven-off very soon after start - and driven reasonably gently until up to temperature. Coolant and oil will get up to operating temperature faster if this is done, bore-washing and wear will also be reduced.
-
I consider it unrealistic to expect zero lube oil consumption in any engine, no matter what materials and tolerances are used. I suspect an analysis taken of oil from an engine reportedly using absolutely zero oil would reveal that the fluid drained was in fact not 100% lubricating oil.
-
I'd consider 1 litre of lube oil consumed in more than 11K miles a very reasonable usage rate. Is this a diesel hybrid? How much did you get 'stung' for the oil - consider buying the correct grade from a reputable online seller, in 5 or more litre quantities for topping-up between oil changes.

Side (or 'marker') lights aren't intended to 'light up' anything - they are a visual reference for oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
