As @skomaz says it's a blocked drain tube. I had the same issue with Mrs Moley's Kamiq recently. I removed the blockage with a thin piece of wire. The drain hole is in the area marked with the yellow circle.

Some good news. https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-releases/skoda-auto-in-the-first-nine-months-of-2026-strong-results-and-second-best-selling-brand-in-europe/

At the moment Skoda appears to be holding it's own in the market place. Unfortunately the VAG group as a whole has financial problems looming, which will lead to plant closures and lay offs. I did read recently that VAG might drop the Seat brand and continue with the Cupra brand only. All of Europe's car manufacturers are going to come under more pressure from Chinese imports and I guess they will all be doing what VW are doing. This week I read that Volvo will lay off 2500 people over the next two years. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/volvo-cars-swings-third-quarter-loss-plans-job-cuts-2026-10-23/

Your car is right hand drive.

The recall for the corroded bolt only affects left hand drive vehicles. You can check for recalls on the government website. https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall

Didn't Jaguar end production in December 2025, to pause sales until the launch of the new Jaguar type 01?

Left hand drives only are subject to the recall.

Trawling through the net, it appears that left hooks are affect. Right hand drives are OK. However a VW spokesperson added that 'the nut on the steering wheel is still the biggest cause of accidents'😉

USB C is now the standard for smart phones, so USB C ports are the way to go. Be aware that the quality of the leads vary. Some leads are OK for charging, but no good for data transfer.

Not good news. Volkswagen put off plant closures in Germany back in 2024 VW agreed with the Unions to avoid factory closures in Germany and delay compulsory redundancies until 2030. The media are reporting that the board meeting on thr 9yh July will centre around four German plants closing and potentially 100,000.

This might help.

I'm no expert, but looking at the data on the AA scan tool there appears to be quite a few 'short to ground / earth warnings. I would be looking for possible damage to a wiring harness.

Finally managed to see the Tesla Cybertruck for real.🤔
