astonishing!

Good point that no-one will notice unless looking to but when the cut happens. What in particular is better in MY20 pre-BW48 vs. MY21 pre-BW48?

Yes, the changes are now reflected in the brochure: https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/4fb122b2-e597-4ebe-a59f-53f971824299

The brochure now shows Columbus to Amundsen headunit in the SEL model. Does anyone know when this becomes effective? Has anyone had a recent delivery and can comment?

yes sorry i meant an increase in fuel efficiency

Does anyone know anything about the RDE1 to RDE2 (Real Driving Emissions) switch over and what will actually change? I have had an email saying that this is phasing in at the factory right now and holding things up for a week or so while the implement the switch. In relation to the kodiaq in MY21 I found this: The power of the 2.0 TDI is increasing from 190 PS (140 kW) to 200 PS (147 kW) in the KODIAQ too. Just like this engine, the 2.0 TDI with an output of 110 kW (150 PS) and 7-speed DSG complies with the Euro 6d emissions standard. The equally powerful 1.5 TSI will also be converted to Euro 6d and will be fitted with a new-generation 6-speed gearbox in the manual version. https://www.skoda-auto.com/news/news-detail/model-year-2021 For the 1.5 TSI it does look as though the WLTP fuel consumption has been increased (to 42.7 up from about 37mpg) and CO2 emissions are down to 150g/km

my build week keeps changing depending on who I ask. It was status 10 for week 45 or 49 depending on who I asked, but now the latest is that it is back to status 00 is because the factory are carrying out the RDE1 to RDE2 (Real Driving Emissions) switch over. Does anyone know what this will mean in terms of performance/emissions for the kodiaq (1.5 manual), or how much delay this is going to add to the build?

The dealer is still stating next month (as estimated on the order) but skoda chat stating April. Not sure who to believe.

I purchased in Sept and am being quoted April 2021 for delivery! This seems unfaesibly long - just wondering if others have similar lead times quoted.

Presumably if it is in a UK port then you may be able to chase the dealer to expedite delivery?

can anyone here comment on the Gledring fitted mats and if so how happy they are with them? https://www.driveden.com/product/gledring-tailored-black-rubber-4-piece-floor-mat-set-to-fit-skoda-kodiaq-2017-2020-480

Thanks for that - it doesn't always seem to popup but appeared after some persistence. Many thanks
