Skoda Octavia Mk3 2.0 tdi Blown head gasket
More likely oil cooler than head gasket if the sludge looks like oil contamination.
- What is the problem in sudden drops of RPM with EPC randomly going off and on and the engine icon flashing?

Low oil level on 2022 Superb 2.0 TDi - should I be worried
Where was the level on the dipstick before and after this top-up? It sounds as though you may never have looked at the dipstick?

Rear washer jet disable?
Disconnect the pipe near the pump and jam a golf tee up it?
-
No oil pressure shown via OBD socket ?
Sump sensor is for oil level and temperature.
-
spare wheel size
What size are the present tyres on the car? They may also fit a 7J rim acceptably. @Carlston is the man.

No oil pressure shown via OBD socket ?
No, they have oil pressure switches. Simple things that just short a wire to earth at a given pressure. Not able to give a pressure reading.

Changing drivebelt easy?
I think it may well be. Either that or ours is wrong. 😆

Changing drivebelt easy?
This makes more sense to me, more wraparound on little alt pulley Both 1.2 12 valve. BME superseded AZQ at end of 2004.

Hmm... I just took a pic of our AZQ one and it isn't like that.

Changing drivebelt easy?
Not bad to do. 16mm(?) spanner on tensioner, but has to swing through a biggish angle to give enough slack, so may be better going downward where there's more space away from engine mount. Remove belt from a non-lipped pulley first and back onto same one last with new belt, after fitting over all the lipped ones. Headtorch will be handy if no other lighting, photos of belt run before removal may prevent headscratching on refitting.

Low Oil Pressure Switch Location
Just noticed that the green one is listed as 2-pin, that's unusual. Does it fit into plastic?
-
Low Oil Pressure Switch Location
The ones that aren't greyed out should be on your engine. 038919081H seems like the correct brown one. £15.33 inc VAT at dealer. I guess the green one is the one that's physically located away from brown and blue.

Yep, message me if you don't wish to post it. 👍

Wouldn't want to say which is correct without VIN filtering.

Heater Blowers Not Working
Serviced including cabin filter? Wouldn't be wise to assume.
-
Heater Blowers Not Working
Any recent history of pollen/cabin filter change? Reduced airflow would reduce the cooling of the resistor, so worth a look if no recent action on that.

Low Oil Pressure Switch Location
Would be easier to pick right one(s) with VIN. Is the 0.3-0.6 one green?
-
Low Oil Pressure Switch Location
Hopefully this is the problem. I can look up current part number and price for genuine with the VIN, if useful.

Do you have receipts from previous visits detailing which part or parts were replaced?

Wing Mirrors not Heating
On a 2008 car?
-
Wing Mirrors not Heating
Fuse 11 on this car; but electric windows wouldn't work right if that was blown. With engine running, if you switch them on at the control, do you hear a click from under the dash, near your right knee?

Probably historical, but @ColinD is the man who'll know.

So I went and bought a Jaaaag
Ernie is almost certainly going to make me a millionaire on Wednesday, Amanda. Will send a few tanksworth your way.

Broken passenger window
Not bad to do on a mk2, I think.
