Twin coffee cups to fit the cup holder
Speaking from an Octavia POV, the branded Skoda mug fits like a glove. I’d be surprised if the Superb has different sized cup holders.

Component Protection Active?
You won’t have done anything with the connect app. As said, it’s a gremlin that appears occasionally. I’ve had it maybe 3/4 times in 4 years.

Lights out on lower dashboard cluster
Is this not just the result of the light switch being in the ‘OFF’ position instead of the ‘AUTO’ position. I’m sure I’ve noticed the dash lights going off when I do the above.

Long shot... my old Superb Sportline estate
I’d wager all that stuff would have been removed prior to re-sale. Unfortunate.

Skoda Octavia IV pictures thread
That looks ace.

Phone holder between seats
I’ve no idea where I put mine. I suspect the bin tbh.

Kodiaq Facelift Revealed
But VRS doesn’t compete with Volkswagens R. The Octavia VRS is a GTI competitor. Why would that then deviate just for the Kodiaq?

vRS service quality at local dealership
I’m not sure this Sport mode change is really a smoking gun. I mean, Sport mode in these cars basically does nothing. It’s a placebo. It doesn’t suddenly unleash an extra 100bhp or anything.

Sportline on the way
There was - very briefly- a MK3 Octavia Sportline. Can’t remember he engine choices. About 3 people bought one.

Skoda Enyaq
Yep. All good stuff. Now, just stick the tech in a saloon body. I don’t want a god damn SUV.

Sportline on the way
I can’t see any additional engines being made available. This’ll be a trim level. Some show, no more go.

Skoda Octavia mk3 vRS 2016 rear fog lights
If memory serves, LHD cars can’t activate just using VCDS as the second fog light was never installed. RHD vehicles have both installed however only one is coded to work by default.

DRL with Stripes error
As above. It’s not even a difficult adaptation to do yourself.

Is it worth having a rear wiper on a 2020 Octavia Hatch?
I use these 2: https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/carpro-reload-spray-sealant https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/carpro-hydro2-lite

Is it worth having a rear wiper on a 2020 Octavia Hatch?
I don’t use a dedicated rain repellent but I do coat the whole car in a spray sealant every 6 months with top ups in between. So the water just runs off.

Speaking from a Mk3 POV, my rear wiper has been used once. And that was when the dealer tested it during a service. The shallow hatch shape renders it pretty useless. IMO anyway. I wouldn’t be losing sleep over not having one.

Thoughts and ideas of price please (64 plate)
As above. I get you have the standard parts but to get the most views/enquiries it’s be best to return to standard yourself first. I’d personally scroll right past this car on Autotrader. The mods - to me - are undesirable and I will be in the majority thinking that.

Fuel tank not filling
Literally never experienced anything like that filling up.
-
Thoughts and ideas of price please (64 plate)
You’re really limiting your audience by keeping the mods. Return it to as standard as possible IMO.

Karoq lease - are early returns allowed?
@kilted you need to let us know what your agreement is. Is it PCP, HP (I’m 99.9% sue it’s not) or PCH. The answer is wildly different depending on which it is.
-

It reads like what you’re talking about is PCP, not PCH. Which is what I understand the OP to be talking about.

Data connectivity advice?
Streaming music or internet radio doesn’t “eat” data at all.

Wax on Wax off
Seven layers seems excessive. Never used Aqua wax so no idea on curing times or anything between coats.

Half the heated windscreen isn't working
Years ago, Ford had an issue on the Mk2 Focus where opening and closing the bonnet would cause fatigue on the ribbon cable for the heated windscreen. The cable would eventually break causing this symptom. Mentioning as it may be something to check. The cable loom on the Focus ran next to the bonnet hinge, hence the flexing and fatigue.
