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?

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.
-
Airbag error, what can reset it?
OBDeleven or VCDS, provided the airbag module isn't SFD locked.

Update to Version 1969
On any Skoda with a Battery Management System you must always connect the negative lead of an external charger to the chassis NOT the battery negative terminal. If you connect it to the battery negative terminal the Battery Management System won't know the battery has been charged.

SKODA OCTAVIA 1.6 DIESEL COOLANT ISSUES
15 reg means it's an Octavia 3, so please post in the Octavia 3 forum where fellow owners can offer good advice.

Front tweeter positioning
It's the most common place for car manufacturers to mount tweeters, as high frequency sound is very directional and they don't want it to get absorbed by legs/clothing/etc. plus the theory is that if the sound appears to come from the windscreen then a drowsy driver is more likely to stay looking ahead rather than down.

bypassing icu?
Do you mean ECU? When you titled this thread ICU I assumed you meant some kind of reference to getting your Yeti working again without needing to go to the car equivalent of an Intensive Care Unit! The ECU and instruments will need matching to the new keys, which isn't a job that normal diagnostic software can do, it usually needs a dealer-level piece of software such as ODIS.
