New clutch slipping
What sort of cable is it? Does it have a self adhuster/ ratchet mechanism? You should have some fee play on the pedal. If over adjusted then the clutch may slip.

1.6tdi SE Technology Cambelt and Water Pump
Seems cheap for the 1.5 as you need to get the cam angles right, I know the diesel pumps well. Put an aftermarket one on a while ago and it was broken from the get go. Car overheated once you got to high speed. Switched for a genuine and all was ok.

Hi all, thinking of buying either a Fabia or Kamiq

Road Noise
I'd have thought the sel would one of the quietest models to have. Have you got parcel shelf installed as that can make a huge difference.

Road Noise
No sorry mine is the last of the MK3, I would imagine the MK4 is quieter though. I have Dunlop sp sport blue response rear and continental efficient grip on front I think, tyres are old and in need of replacement but the noise is acceptable considering. 205/55/16.

Sachs sre clutch
Id definitely be bedding it in for around 3-500 miles. No harsh acceleration or load on the clutch. But I guess you maybe have already done that?

I had a mk2 Renault Mégane, best car I've had tbh. Was the most comfortable and quietest car I've ever driven even with ling long tyres.

Try driving something like a Dacia sandero, flat 500, vauxhall viva. Suzuki's are pretty bad too. All very noisy on the road.

VAG OEM alloys options
Just make sure you clean up the corrosion from both the wheel and brake disc mating face and torque to 120/140nm whichever your is. You want to get the et correct really or might have to fit spacers.

Battery drainage Skoda Superb mk 2
I'd be replacing the battery before anything else, you can't diagnose modern car properly with a good voltage! You will have all sorts of communication codes, you won't know where to start or start looking at the wrong stuff.
