Not sure for 2013 Mk3 TDI, but the shift on a 2015 MY16 TSI is visible from above - between engine and battery.

I would suggest that your problem is not with the key fob, but with the alarm system itself - if the fob is disengaging the immobiliser to allow the engine to start, this suggests to me that the fob is working correctly. Disconnecting the vehicle battery should not stop the alarm, as it has a self-contained, internal battery.

While attempting to select reverse, does the stick move fully through the gate when pressed down - or does it just stop at the gate?

If your profile is correct, you have probably posted this in the wrong section. Have you tried moving the vehicle slightly in first gear before trying to select reverse?

Quote 'Skoda mechanic says he doesn't hear compressor starting' is a little concerning - the A/C compressor does not 'start' because it is permanently driven unless the drive shear plate has failed. I'd take a close look at what was done during the changes to the climatronic panel.

Clean diesel fuel on its own should be sufficient to keep the pump lubricated.

AFAIK, you're probably as well off using good quality fuel and ensuring as far as possible that DPF regens aren't interrupted.

So the only way the vehicle can move on the motor by simply touching the brake pedal is by NOT setting the EPB - AND leaving the gear selector in D or R, then touching the throttle pedal - is that correct?

Keep all of the correspondence regarding this insurance snafu! - Consider changing insurer next renewal. Heaven alone knows what they will manage to do in the event of a claim!

Thanks for that - but are you saying that there are still three separate actions required for vehicle to move - touch brake pedal (releases auto-hold); move gear selector; then touch throttle pedal?

The only EV I've driven recently was an Outlander PHEV - to get that to move required the EPB to be released, the shift to be moved out of park and the throttle to be pressed - unless the Enyaq controls are completely different, it's difficult to see how all three conditions can be operated accidentally.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of your mishap. Can you clarify, was the vehicle driving forward on the electric motor - or was it rolling forward down a slope?

Welcome to the forum. I believe that a refusal of warranty for items completely unrelated to the servicing work you had done at an independent garage may be not legal under UK consumer law. See EU block exemption law.

Ok for short-term emergencies - but better to keep the correct concentration to maintain corrosion protection.

G13 should be ok for a top-up, and it may well be what's already in the engine - I believe the latest spec for coolant is G12evo.

In fact, in the UK, the A/C technician is legally obliged to perform a refrigerant leak test before recharging any A/C system.

I'm pretty sure the change for smaller engines occurred when EA211 replaced EA111.

On most of the automatic umbrellas I've seen, the shaft extends first - which appears to have happened in this case.

Welcome to the forum - what 'gadgets' have you dispensed-with on the Skoda?

Op has not said whether vehicle has direct or indirect TPMS - more likely to be indirect, as direct type is usually a cost option. If indirect type, there aren't any sensor batteries as the TPMS data comes from the ABS wheel sensors.

In fact, I believe I've seen past quotes of £1.2 to £1.4K for the 1.5ACT!

Insufficient satellites being received is most likely reason or signal strength too low.

Welcome to the forum. Having a compression test done to check condition of piston rings would be my suggestion - 5 litres in 2k miles, wow!

A bit of a revival after 7 years! From my understanding, the GPS antenna connection is to the infotainment unit in the glove compartment - the unit in the dashboard is just the display.

Check how many satellites are being received by the onboard GPS - on the Amundsen MIB2 system, this data can be seen when the display is in split-screen mode. I suspect that you may have a GPS antenna fault.
