2019 Scala 1.0, got these codes, how do I fix it
Sorry, I drive a 1.5 but the valve will be somewhere in the inlet tract. The intent is to suck the fumes out of the carbon cannister. Pic below might help.

Does my reverse sensor have an issue
I've checked the manual (page 140 or so for Kamiq) and the icon in the bottom left of screen does have the red lines on it. The function of the icon when touched is to put the rear view camera into full screen.

Lane assist is dangerous
Well defo does in my 2024 Kamiq and also says it in the handbook.

2019 Scala 1.0, got these codes, how do I fix it
Things to check: That you have not inadvertently over filled the gas tank recently. Modern tanks should not be brimmed. The vent from the carbon cannister is not blocked. The Purge Valve is functioning. There might be a thermal vacuum valve in the system, it will be linked to the purge valve if present. If so check this. You'll need a workshop manual to check all of this but these are some on this site you can download.

Does my reverse sensor have an issue
I think mine looks exactly the same. It's an icon. When you reverse does the sensor actually work? The beeping starts and the actual visual warning behind the car image in the screen starts to flash?

boot lid
I think the solution was provided in one of the answers. If you use smart locking it locks everything with a single press on the fob. However by the time you walk round to check the boot it has probably decided you want to open it so it lets you. You can "deadlock" the car, it explains how in the handbook, method varies a bit with trim level AFAIK.

Can Skoda tell me details about past services?
For similar reason I keep a full paper service history and place it in the car when I sell it or trade it in.

Worth mentioning that with ordinary Cruise Control the cat can exceed the set speed on downhills.

Can Skoda tell me details about past services?
@GuyIncognito The simple answer to your question is Yes, if the car was serviced by any Skoda main dealer. If the car has had work done by specialists then depending on if they sign up to be able to update the online service history or not there may be gaps. If you go to a Skoda garage with the VIN and the Reg, they may help you and give you a printout of the official online history. If they do it will be as a favour, it's not something you can demand.

Fusso Coat Cracked in Tin.
It looks like the solvent might be kerosine (actually nonane which is quite pure unlike kerosine which has other stuff in it.) Also there is some naphtha in it. Look for a MSDS for Fusso coat online and take it to your local store. THat said it might be easier to buy some more.

Service Confusion
If it's Skoda approved used then take it back to the supplying dealer.

Clutch creaking when hot
sounds like it's either a spring or the pedal bearing. As has been advised, starting at the pedal lubricate the bearings using a lubricant suitable for plastic and rubber. If you can see any springs on the pedal box then try lubricating then with something like WD 40 sparingly and a tiny blob of grease on the hook on the end of the spring. Under the bonnet look to see if the hydraulic pipe from the master to slave cylinder is moving a little bit and rubbing something. That's about all you can do, a garage may be able to lubricate the clutch release bearing pivots, not sure to be honest.

Rear seat covers (For Dog)
There were once a few UK firms but not so much now. We ended up making a cover of your own and putting holes in it to allow access to the isofix and seatbelt points. You might try Animed, think they are still going. Covers and All also have a UK portal.

Clutch goes to floor with slight pressure applied.
This is indicative of a worn piston seal in either the master or slave cylinder. It does not have to result in a visible leak. It will probably get worse with time. The fix is easy but messy and time consuming. Unless you can be sure which piston is misbehaving then both need to be looked at. A main dealer will probably advise changing the the master and slave cylinders which might be cheaper given what main dealer labour charges are. If you have a good indy dealer locally take it to them.

My Skoda app
If you don't have built in NAV than Android Auto is by far and away the best option.

"N" gear automatic
The average price I've seen is about £220. A tiny sum when compared to all the other running costs.

My Skoda app
As said the map in the app is for planning and sending data to the car sat nav. The sat nav in the car then handles the navigation. If you don't like it then enable Android Auto or Apple Carplay. If your maps are up to date the in car sat nav is pretty good. Better if you also have real time traffic.

"N" gear automatic
Apologies for the confusion. I should have said I'll be getting the Gearbox oil changed at 40,000 mile intervals or 4 years whichever comes first.
-
"N" gear automatic
Odd question, I have a full service plan so I'll be expecting full service at Skoda specified intervals and I'll be checking.

Fusso Coat Cracked in Tin.
All waxes are prone to this as they get older. It's drying out. Have a look to see if you can find out what solvent is used in the formulation of the wax. If you can get some of the solvent add a tiny amount to the wax, heat up to soften it and then mix thoroughly. This should restore the paste consistency.

Kamiq 1.5 TSI (manual) noise from clutch pedal
As was said before a creaking noise when depressing the clutch is not that unusual. It could be one of the springs in the assembly or even the clutch pressure plate itself. Remember when depressing the clutch to start there are no other noises in the car. Also be sure it's not the drivers seat making the noise.

January 2021 Registered Kamiq - MY20 or MY21?
If you have the original documentation than you may find you have the Certificate of Conformity. (CE Mark cert). The year and month of manufacture are also stated on this.

"N" gear automatic
Just so we care clear, most professional gearbox re-manufacturers recommend the following for 7 speed DQ200 transmissions. "Stop-and-Go Traffic: The DSG7 dry clutch system is particularly susceptible to overheating in frequent stop-and-go traffic. Prolonged use in these conditions can lead to premature wear of the clutch packs. Avoid heavy traffic or allow the gearbox to cool during long stops by shifting into neutral to mitigate this."
-
"N" gear automatic
If you disable stop start then when you stop at traffic lights, as an example, then put the car into N until you are ready to pull away. This will, in theory, help to reduce clutch drag (yes a DSG has clutches) and prolong the life of the clutches. If stop start is functioning then you don't need N.

Kamiq 1.5 DSG - strange whistling sound in the rear of the car
Any unexplained noise is always a cause for concern. Are you certain it's not a door or window seal? In any event have the dealer look at it and record the fact you booked it in.
