Button panel adding functions
What you have on screen is the Adaptive Cruise Control modes. These determine how fast/slow the car accelerates again after slowing down when ACC detects that the reason for slowing down is gone. These are different to the Driving modes which are Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual.

Wing mirror coming apart
Glue might be an issue if you ever need to replace the indicator sometime in the future. Have a look at this video and take it all apart to have a look at what's broken and upgrade the indicators to dynamic ones and the puddle lights to led while it's all apart

Radio station logos...
It's been a while, I got a bundle of them somewhere then I went to this site, where you can download them individually for any that were missing https://media.info/radio/how-to/radio-station-logos-for-your-volkswagen-or-skoda-radio Search for the station in top right, click on the logo you need then when you see the bigger logo on the right hand side of the screen you can right click and "Save Image As" Below is random example, right click on the circled logo and save as. If you click on "British Radio Stations" you can list them alphabetically

Radio station logos...
I have Bolero too and have the logos on a USB and have them added to the headunit, they are all .png format. When you plug the USB into the car does it show up when you scroll through the sources ? or is it that you can't see them when adding them to the headunit with the USB in? With the radio on, go to Settings then Station Logos, then click on a station and the "Manage Files" window will open, is the USB available as an option there ? If it's greyed out then it's a problem with the USB stick

HELP! Black emblem part numbers please
Never changed my badges but I know other members have used Kopacek https://www.kopacek.com/skoda/octavia-iii/emblems/ I've used them for sill covers and they were perfect fit. Maybe someone will come along with first hand experience to give you

Weird idle issue - 1.5 TSI
Could it be the GPF regen ? I've no experience of the petrol regen but the Diesel DPF regen, when happening, has the car idle at ~1000rpm, it's one f the ways of knowing it's happening. On the Diesel if you interrupt the regen by turning off the engine the fans stay on to cool the DPF back down, does this happen on the petrol versions ?

Any idea why my boot open light keeps coming on whilst driving?
One other thing, did you happen to replace the interior boot lights with LED ones?. I swapped out my boot lights for LED ones and now if the kids turn on the reading lights in the back I get a boot open warning .

Rain sensor confusion.
On the infotainment screen under Car->Settings scroll down to Wipers are there 2 options, one for "Automatic Wiping in Rain" and one for "Automatic Rear Wipe" and if so are both boxes ticked ? I have both these options in my 2015 Octavia and have Auto wipers. I'd imagine if you are missing the "Automatic Wiping in Rain" option then auto wiper are not installed on you car.

parking sensors
Could just be one faulty sensor shorting out the rest like in this vid. Video is quite long winded but they get no reversing display on screen like you and narrow it down to one faulty reversing sensor.

parking sensors
Could well be coded out. I have a 2015 Elegance spec and when I go into "Parking and Manoeuvring" I get the below screen. Apologies for the brightness, an unusually sunny morning here I have rear sensors only and no button by the gear stick.

Another a/c question
That just lets you know that Air Con is the biggest of your consumers (as it's the only one that's on) nothing to do with gassing levels. Watch the display and turn on your heated mirrors or heated seats if you have them, they'll show up there too and the bar should change. If the Air con is not blowing cold then you probably have a leak and need a fix and a re-gassing, I've never re-gassed mine but then the missus's 2019 Octavia blows a lot colder than mine at LO so maybe I do but doesn't bother me too much.

Skoda Octavia MKIII 2013-2020 temp indicator
Definitely sounds like the water pump, have a read through this sticky. I've had mine replaced shortly after buying it second hand in 2018 (when it was 3 years old) and again in 2023. Under load the temp gauge would go into the red then back down again to 90deg if I backed off or stopped for a short while.

Right Wing Mirror LED Indicator Signal Light Clear
A simple 6 min job, why pay a mechanic to do it.

Air Conditioning Not Working
First try re-calibrate the flaps as per the video in this thread

Main screen doesn't work
AFAIK the screen is just a screen, if you bought and put in a replacement screen ("same model number display on eBay,") and it didn't work then the screen is not at fault, it's the glovebox unit that's at fault. Sounds like the screen is not connected to the glovebox unit or glovebox unit is not getting power or isn't coded correctly to the car if it was ever replaced by previous owner..

Fog light removal Super facelift
I could be wrong but isn't there a little trim removal tool with the spare wheel, a loop on one end for your finger and a hook on the other to go through that little hole in the grille under the fog light and help you pull the black grille off ? That should let you get to the mounting screws of the fog light.

Cornering lights
This bit confuses me, the missus had a 2019 FL with LED headlights and from what I recall the fog lights were the cornering lights, it wasn't built in to the main headlight. (car has since been sold on so can't verify) Unless you're talking about the DRLs ? Or maybe someone had a go at coding the DRLs as cornering lights ?

Beeping sound
The picture seems to have gone from the forum link I posted but in OBD11 go to Dashboard--> Long Coding--> click on the "0|1" next to Long Coding then under Byte00 there is a option "Speed Warning at 120km/h (75mph)" This is set to "Not active" on my car
-
Beeping sound
I'd think it was added by the leasing company then, a quick google shows people with the same buzzing noise in Ford, Citroen and Peugeot cars so I don't think it's Skoda specific. If you have OBD11 maybe check this: https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/speed-warrning-at-120km-h.9109129/

boot open warning.
First thing i'd check is if you have added any LED interior lights or LED boot lights. I added LED boot lights to mine and now if anyone turns on the rear interior/reading light then I get boot open warnings.

Octavia 3 estate uprated tailgate dampers
- Parking Sensors/rear bumper
Wish I could be more help as I had the same problem. In my case someone reversed my car into a low wall so I had to get a whole new plastic diffuser and some attach points were bent so I bought a new diffuser and took it to the local garage so they could put it up on a lift. After a few days one of the sensors fell in so was going off constantly so I took it back to them and they sorted it. I tried having a go myself but the space was very limited in there for my big hands. You can take off the lower diffuser part without doing anything to the bumper Did come across this video on YT ase someone - Parking Sensors/rear bumper
