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.

If the car is new, there is a possibility that the transit blocks were not removed during the PDI - appears to be a far too common oversight.

I had Continental Contacts (all season) fitted to the Octavia earlier this year because I tired of swapping summers and winters - they seem pretty good to me. I was looking for good wet performance combined with reasonable cold-weather traction.

It really shouldn't be that harsh at the pressures you're running on 16s - is this car new?

I would normally prefer to run rears a little higher (around 0.2bar) than fronts, 39psi is approx. 2.7bar, which is getting up towards 'Eco' pressures. I was unable to find credible reviews later than 2020 for Arduzzo - but they were rated at 2nd bottom (D) for wet performance by WhatTyre then - if that is close to present tyres, which appears likely, I'd consider it an extremely bad idea to have the front mix you have now!

What pressures are you running, front and rear?

Welcome to the forum. What tyres do you currently have fitted?

Those pressures on 16" wheels sound more like 'Eco' setting to me - do you have the tyre pressure label inside the fuel flap?

Just a guess - could it be auto replay?

It's practically a certainty that your current reduced mileage and DPF issues are not a coincidence. The excess oil will have been diesel fuel from failed regens.

On the image you posted, there are instructions under 'Note' on how to reset it.

No mention in the .Gov test manual. Autodoc says not normally tested - but if rear wiper is standard factory fitment and considered essential due to installed mirrors not giving sufficient view to rear, may be tested.

I'm pretty sure that it's not a fail. Off to check.

Have you tried the reset procedure stated on the interface label?

Your fuel consumption figures should decrease a couple of tics too.

Minimum 2 bar is approx. 30psi, possibly you need to prime your bleeding kit higher.

Try pressing the RH side of the ODO rocker switch to confirm reset.

Was the fuel spray coming from the leak-off pipe - or from a faulty injector?

What year is vehicle? Is it 3 or 4 cylinder? You can find engine type on your V5 document as the first 3 or 4 characters of the engine number and should also be listed on the B pillar label.

If your reset procedure is the same, I've found it can be a bit 'fiddly' and can take a few repetitions to get right - there are two separate schedules - oil and inspection, toggling between them to reset the desired service schedule reminder.

Have you posted this in the correct section? What engine (type) do you have? If your engine is a post 2011 1.2TSI, EA211, your engine has a timing belt - not chain.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Definitely recommend you do not drive vehicle any further until cause found and fixed. You may have been very lucky in not damaging the valves or pistons. Not sure if the 1.2TSI is an interference engine, but it quite possibly is.

What warranty came with the vehicle? Definitely reasonable to expect a fix if there is a warranty. It would be reasonable for the dealer to expect direct access to your vehicle to effect a fix.

Try a google search for the reset procedure for your particular vehicle - it may possibly be the same as MkIII Octavia and Fabia - Press and hold Odo reset switch, then turning on ignition, etc.

They had the car for 11 weeks! I'd strongly suggest taking it to an independent VAG workshop - check that they have access to ODIS.
