water ingress drivers footwell?
@KirkJames As we all know (those ones who have been dealing with this issue), connected to the drain hole from the roof, there is a 90 degree bend, that holds the drain hose. Do you know is that cleaning tool will go through that bend? The last time I tried it, the hose came loose from that bend as it has very limited space.. I also noticed in my 2012 Superb the drain hoses have shrunk in length over the course of years.

Default cambelt change is done by 131K miles or 210K kilometers. The "No bend lighting AFS function" warning means your car's Adaptive Frontlight System (AFS) has detected a fault, preventing headlights from swiveling into turns for better corner visibility, often due to a burnt-out cornering bulb (like an H7), a faulty sensor (suspension/leveling), blown fuse, or wiring issue, requiring diagnostic checks to clear the error and restore dynamic lighting. (AI source). So you better check its functions. The other check handbook warnings, I do not know about but it may be wise to red the manual.

Poor HVAC/Blower Performance
Have checked whether all the air ducts are properly connected? I found the one serving the driver side near the door hardly blowing any air. when taking out the center dashboard opening grill I found it disconnected some years ago. Just a suggestion here.

2.0tdi Jerky When Cold
I disagree here as Car Scanner is making use of the ELM 327 dongle and, yes, it may return some basic fault messages but in a more generic way. Both OBDeleven and VCDS will give you indepth fault messages which can never be achieved with Car Scanner. Personally I use OBDeleven and Car Scanner

I am afraid, Car Scanner is not capable providing you with detailed information. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Snap-On scanner. Personally I would recommend using OBDeleven or VCDS for proper diagnostics.

Rear wiper doesn't work
this looks like a thermal security issue here, when the wiper motor axle stops after 3 turns it experiences too much resistance an will prevent the motor damaging itself. it maybe wise to lubricate the axle?

it would be interesting to see the result of you efforts. Btw, what diagnostic tools have been used to scan for faults?

2.0tdi Jerky When Cold
Are you sure there are no codes? faulty glow-plugs and faulty injectors do generate fault codes though. 2 years ago I had the same issue. With a cold engine with outside temperatures dropping, the engine need a bit more fuel. It appeared the injectors never had been cleaned so they got contaminated with dirt. So I replaced them with new injectors. 300.000 km is a respectable number so it may be wise to replace them as well. However, you could first try to clean them by adding injector cleaner to your diesel tank and fill it up with diesel as well. very often those manufacturers advise, for curative reasons, to add 2 quantities initially. For preventive maintenance the advise 1 quantity every 10k. km. If this doesn´t help then replace the injectors.

How smooth should 6-speed DSG (DQ250) gearbox be?
I bought my 2012 Superb 2.0 TDI in 2016 with 93k km's on the odometer,. First thing I did was giving it an oil change, as Skoda prescribes an oil change every 60k km. I have followed this discipline until today (now 263k km's) and the DSG runs still as if it left the factory. I also have to say I my car not aggressively at all. One can perform an oil change DIY but I prefer to have it done every 3 years with a DSG specialist. Costs are about €200

Fuel estimation is different than the real consumption
As I could read earlier in this topic, the fuel consumption by default factory setting is on the optimistic side. Some years ago I used OBDeleven to achieve a realistic consumption level. At one point in time I made the decision to change my fuel injectors for new ones, and yes I had to code them also with OBDeleven. Once done, it did not have an effect on the measured consumption at all.

Can't seem to get a straight answer on my coolant reservoir
First of all: Emulsification is a process whereby a fatty substance mixes consistently with a watery liquid. An example of emulsification is the production of mayonnaise. (oil and vinegar) You can sometimes see it on the filler cap (a coffee-with-milk-coloured slurry) of your valve cover (often a result of condensation water mixing with oil). You should take a closer look at the composition of your coolant, for example. When your engine is running, do you see air bubbles appearing in your expansion tank? This could indicate that you have a leaky head gasket. Furthermore, there is sufficient information available on this subject on the forums of various other car brands.

Well done, good fault finding. I was not thinking in this direction at all I have to admit.
