Yes.

Timing belt and a few other questions from a new owner.
No. There is (or should be) a manufacture date code on the belt, but that's not visible

Is the ABS light meant to flash?
Sadly no; in fact you're not even meant to feel the kickback much these days.

Octavia MK4 software
Why not post in thread "$daft_name upgrade for infotainment"? That actually tells people what you have an issue with.

Other symptoms like smoke quantity, engine runaway?

As @SkOmk4 what do you mean by this?

ACC sensor removed and lost by mechanic
Actually not the legal issue here. He removed it and lost it, and is now trying to weasel out of making restitution.

Lane assist is dangerous
Let me list some of the things that Lane Enforce will at least try and stop you doing:- Straight lining. Now that is not always safe, but if you do it there is usually no-one around to see your signal. Lane changing left without signalling (UK). In what counties is a signal necessary in that circumstance? Driving to the side of a lane in order to avoid driving in flooded ruts. @Graham Butcher has already accepted that UK roads need better maintenance. This is just one of the reasons why. Emergency lane changing either way. Possibly masking or even stopping you wandering just far enough to run over cats eyes or lane edge rumble strips. I take doing this as a signal to take a break soonest.

502 00 oil specification is 5w40 ?
Correct temperatures for SAE oil viscosity testing inserted, underscore. Personally I'd choose 0W40 as pumping up fastest on start-up (you can have the oil pressure light go out before a cold engine even fires with 0W oil) and the lowest viscosity drop-off rate with rising temperature. ( SAE J300 standard )

Lane assist is dangerous
Complete and utter bull****! Lane enforce will not prevent you from switching on an indicator and moving without observing.

Steering Torque Sensor Error
Which is why we ask you to fill in the location field. It makes advising on local to you garages and Consumer Rights legislation much easier.

Facelift headlight fix
@homelessdrop - I'm with @SC03OTT on this; you're the only person to complain about "fragile headlamp covers".

Tyre inflation - air isn't free???!!!
@simsim - The air itself is free; maintaining the compressor and airline costs money though.

Steering Torque Sensor Error
That's easy then; fixing it at his expense is his problem.

Does a Superb hatchback, or estate handle better?
Either will handle better than a V@*xh@11 1n$19n1@, based on having driven an 1n$19n1@ and an Octavia over the same route.

bought a new fabia 2019 tsi dsg s/a problem
Em, antifreeze is one of 2 components in a mixture called "coolant". The other one is water, and since you live in Derbyshire I advise actually using deionised water rather than the local hard water.

Handbrake switch
What, exactly, do you mean by this? There is such a thing as a handbrake switch, but it only controls the warning light on the dashboard and associated buzzer. It will not affect the operation of the handbrake.

A/C problem on Skoda Octavia 1.6 FSI 2007 Elegance
Er, not all Skoda problems are electronic or admit of fault codes. I think a failed a/c clutch is one such problem. Did you go to an automotive a/s specialist or just a regasser?
