Original wheel/rim characteristics
The first link is a complete wheel AND tyre set, so it comes with directional tyres which must be fitted on the correct side.

Start and stop disable permanently
I've had 2 Octavias with start/stop, first one was on original battery when sold at 7 years old and second one is still on original battery at 8 years old - start/stop worked/works correctly on both.

lost radio and central locking after VCDS mistake
VCDS keeps files that record both coding and adaptation changes , CodingLog.csv and AdpLog.csv in C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Debug - open those in Notepad and reverse the changes you've just made.

Rain sensor confusion.
The one in your hand only has 2 dots? Dashboard dimming is done by a sensor in the dashboard itself, not by one on the windscreen. I think you need to get someone do do a scan with VCDS, OBDeleven or similar to solve this question - that will show what is actually fitted to your car. My feeling is that the scan will show a module 20...

Recommended tyre pressures - are they too high?
There are usually several recommended tyre pressures shown on the fuel flap for different loads (one person, 3 people, three people plus luggage IIRC). @mccririck Which recommended tyre pressure were you comparing against?
-
Rain sensor confusion.
I'm trying to remember what the basic #20 camera I had in my previous Octavia looked like and I'm 60% it looks like your picture. That gave HBA (High Beam Assist i.e. auto dipping headlights).

Engine & ignition will not stop when turning the key to "off"
So module 09 is seeing the ignition switched terminal as unswitched. I would check against a wiring diagram where module 09 gets its ignition switched feed(s) (there may be more than 1) from and get tracing with a multimeter.

Rain sensor confusion.
It's not only a rain sensor it's also the light sensor for auto lights. So you can have an auto lights only sensor, or a combined auto lights and wipers sensor (and there are 2 versions of that, one which allows auto window closing when it rains and one that doesn't) - confusing it most certainly is! Do you have auto lights?

Android Auto/Smart Link
Me too from the part numbers.

Android Auto/Smart Link
It depends on whether yours is an early 2015 build or a late one, early builds have a MIB1 infotainment system which doesn't support CarPlay or Android Auto - my previous 15 reg Octavia had a MIB1 - later 2015 builds have a MIB2 which does support CarPlay and Android Auto.

Auto Stop/start error message a battery issue?
When start/stop doesn't work it's always worth checking the infotainment screen that gives an explanation why it isn't working - things like aircon, electrical load, etc.

1.5tsi ACT cambelt change interval revision?
The advice re timing belt is much longer than 5 years, so no you do not need to replace the timing belt unless you have done over 100,000km. Water pump changing on the 1.4/1.5 engines doesn't have a schedule, just replace when faulty or the belt is sowing signs of wear when visually inspected.

Infotainment Firmware Updates & More
Firmware won't solve it, but there are people and tools that can enable some additional features (such as CarPlay & AndroidAuto) - I'm not one of those people!
- Battery replacement help - avoiding main dealer?
-
Infotainment Firmware Updates & More
What features do you want to enable, some need a FeC code not just a software update.
-
Octavia vs Karoq
Cost and availability at the time of production - even Audi do this, it's not a "Skoda thing".

How do I keep radio on after shutting engine off?
USB Aux or 3.5mm audio only Aux?

Infotainment Bolero 5Q0035842A friert ein
You'll get far better (any?) response by posting in English - which is the official language of this forum.

VCDS faults
They're all shown as intermittent which means the faults weren't present when the scan was done but were historical.
-
MK3 written off, should I upgrade to MK4?
But if ODIS says there's no updates then the dealer will say it's up-to-date even if the car has known issues (like the climatronic sync issue you mention). This is what puts me off moving to a Mk4 - getting the firmware (and in a few cases on older Mk4's hardware) on several modules updated isn't as simple as it should be because Skoda don't acknowledge all the issues.

Sloshing fuel tank
IIRC this was mentioned on here a few years ago as happening when the tank is about 3/4 full due to there not being any/enough baffles in the tank.

Weird Issues with 2019 2.0 SE TSI Auto
Check for binding brakes or failing bearing on front right wheel.
-
MK3 written off, should I upgrade to MK4?
Based on my several times a day browsing the Octavia 3 and 4 forums, personally I'd look for a FL Mark 3 first.
-
How do I keep radio on after shutting engine off?
Leave the key in the ignition and don't open the door?
-
Airbag error, what can reset it?
With VCDS it shows modules that are SFD locked when you do a scan, I don't use OBDeleven so can't comment on whether that indicates SFD locked modules in a scan.
