Battery tray removal
What do you mean by fan module? I think on your car the fan control module will be built into the main radiator fan.

DSG AutoHold at Traffic Lights without brake pedal held down
I think you may want to trust what's visible on a car, over what's on a database; but up to you.

Electric Issues
It's me that's offering these repairs. I'll start a PM chat with you shortly.

Are you sure? Look at google image results for that PN.

Petrol particle filter
This sounds like a different problem - not filter-related- especially if it's happening beyond the first minute or two from cold start; in my opinion.

Swapping front & rear wheels over issues?
Go elsewhere or DIY.

Can't find factory OEM tires?
Please stop yelling like a madman.

Low oil pressure after oil change, Suspicious mechanic
Ask them to check the oil filter seal. They should be familiar with the problem. Bet the chain is OK.

Low oil pressure after oil change, Suspicious mechanic
Which engine type? I think the 1.2 TSI has a common 'gotcha' where a seal gets left behind by the old oil filter and screws things up with similar symptoms.

Engine Warning Light - Oxygen sensor suspected
Not to worry. I'll leave you in sepulchrave's capable hands.

Still. Why not let the garage do it? Have they quoted?

Wiper relay replacement
The intermittent settings are the most demanding use case. As described in first post.

1.9 diesel preheater relay
Position 10.2 is described as headlight dip relay, so I guess you have the type with a single H7 halogen bulb and a moving shutter system that selects between main and dipped beam? Pos 4 is the X contact relief relay (switches off various current consumers during engine cranking) Pos 13 is your engine ECU relay - "Diesel direct injection system relay" Pos 14 is fuel pump relay.

Engine Warning Light - Oxygen sensor suspected
We will need to know which engine type your Fabia has. "Oxygen sensor" usually refers to an exhaust (lambda) sensor, but 'air flow sensor' suggests that you're thinking of something in the intake tract. It would be best to scan the engine ECU to see why it has put the fault light on, rather than start firing 'the parts cannon' at guessed reasons.

Wiper relay replacement
Interesting one yesterday. A 6Q2937049F unit sent to me for relay replacement. I didn't notice when taking this photograph, but here it is possible in hindsight to see the effect of damaged/cooked relay contacts just from visual (or tactile) inspection. Zoom in on the relay just next to where it says Siemens VDO on the edge of the board. See a raised bump next to the O of Omron? Was much easier to see the damage related to both sets of relay contacts once the relay was extracted: New relays are smooth and flat across that top surface.

1.9 diesel preheater relay
Depends on year, engine and equipment options, if you pop up a photo of your panel when you get to it I can tell you what the fitted ones do, probably. Likely to only be a few.

Spark Plugs 1.2 HTP
😁 Not visiting fuel pumps as often is about the biggest plus point I can think of just now.
-
Spark Plugs 1.2 HTP
Wire brush? But wait, I seem to remember you bought a pack of four plugs, so you already have a new spare? I meant dates on the coilpacks actually, they almost look too clean to be original.
-
Spark Plugs 1.2 HTP
Can't see any sign of a VW group part number on the old plugs, so won't be factory original. Also they don't look too bad other than a fair amount of gap increase. Clean them up, adjust the gaps to be like the new ones and keep as emergency spares. Any date codes printed on the top face of those coils?

The part number you quoted is correct for brake light switch, see here https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/RO/481/9/945/945050 erWin Skoda does not offer part number info by the way. Genuine switch recommended, not vastly expensive (£20.88 retail, inc VAT at Skoda dealership currently), and very straightforward to fit. Just twist and remove old one, twist other way to fit new. Older versions required pedal to be pressed whilst doing so, or some such palaver. Reverse light hack sounds cunning, and not in MOT so could remain indefinitely.

Fabia MK 2 power steering top-up.
Always in that position, but what's in the way of seeing and touching it varies considerably with engine type.

Fabia Mk1 2007 1.9 TDI Fuel Level Sensor Fixed
No worries. I think one of the other threads you posted in may have indicated the specific location of the relevant pin. If not, I can re-find that info for you. I believe it will be possible to get enough access without removing the dial needles and flexible bezel, instead just lifting/bending this bezel out of the way.
