Front Assist not working?
I don't have ACC - just normal cruise😒 - but I think I'm safe in thinking that the distances for ACC control calculations would be significantly greater than the collision avoidance distance for front assist.

Abnormal high fuel consumption
Hello Tom, welcome to the forum. While not fantastic, 7.5 litres per 100 Km equates to a little over 37.5 mpg - which, depending on type of driving style and trip, is not all that bad - I wouldn't call it 'abnormal' You quote your previous consumption as around 6.5 litres / 100 km a year ago - this makes a little under 6 mpg difference. Are your tyre pressures correct? This can make a significant difference to fuel consumption. You seen a little uncertain when the oil was last changed - it is entirely possible that the oil used was not the correct grade, this could make some difference. How many miles since the last oil change - and how many miles do you travel per year?

Front Assist not working?
Hi, welcome to the forum. Front assist will only 'kick in' with full ABS mode if the system thinks you are not producing enough pressure on the brake pedal to avoid any obstruction the front assist radar is seeing. If the system can see that you are already reacting, it will not do anything. It takes very steady nerves (and judgement) to test it in real conditions! - unless you have some sort of soft, reflective, target to try it out on.

1.2 vs 1.0 TSI
Hi Snowman, welcome to the forum. Although not quite as lazy as my 1.4 TSI Octavia, my wife has a Fabia 1.0, 110 with the M6 gearbox - and I've found it to be pretty relaxed at (legal) motorway speeds.

Serious inconsistent misfire at idle problem
Hi Adam, welcome to the forum. Because the sensors possibly are sending fault messages due to low battery voltage. Check alternator output and battery condition.

fuel consumption
Ideally, use the same fuel pump to do the top ups if possible, that way you will know the fuel tank is approx. same level.

Fabia MK3 minor crash fuel cutoff? or ECU?
In addition to the intake plenum breakage, there looks to be significant damage to items behind the nearside headlight - is that the battery/main fuse panel?

Maintaining battery charge
At todays fuel prices, payback time on the cost of the charger will be very short.

Hi Top, JR got there first. Interesting that the Octavia load bay turns out to be almost exactly the same.

Cost of cambelt change
Hi Gru, welcome to the forum. I think you should get a quote from a few other places! I had my cam and auxiliary belt changed during a service in November 2021 - cost was £436.66 for parts and labour. This was at a large independent. The cambelt kit (including tensioner) was £98.42.

Hi Rob, how do you seal those welds - Will that POR 15 sealant do all that?

Power consumption high and too many turns when starting
The energy recuperation system on these micro-hybrids tries to maximise battery charging on overrun or braking, meaning that the alternator will not usually charge the battery to more than 60-75%. One thing to watch - you say you have dash cam, does this remain on when parked? As Viking says, at 6 years, it is possible that battery is starting to fail. A battery condition test after a full recharge should give some indication is this is the case. EFB and AGM batteries require around 14.6 VDC to charge.

Adjusting cable disc brakes
Hi Gaz, I think that is the way the fixed brake pad is supposed to work - correct gap would be critical.
