Mine (Elroq 60) was manufactured week 35, ready for delivery week 40 (actually had it rushed a bit to very end of week 39). VIN seems to be allocated very late in the process of Sales systems. Could it be due ensuring a customer contract is updated with defacto car for delivery (in case something happends in assembly or transportation ? Another note. I.e. Norway has VAT incentives running to the end of the year, which might put some priority to this market over others right now - sales are boosted these last months, and importeurs are trying their best to keep up.

Autum break for the kids, so did a longer journey to the mountains the day after delivery. VERY happy how this thing drives, and ease-of-use! I almost shat my pants when it hammered on the breaks while parallel parking in reverse though... But I wanted to hear from the rest of you, how do you experience the build quality ? E.g. Tesla seems to me to be a brand of uneven panel gaps, strange assemblies, etc. I am curious on your experiences, because I get the impression the paint is thinner than our 2014 Octavia with clear "build ups" along the panel edges. Furthermore, I had a misaligned gap between fender and bonnet, but it was a quick fix with adjusting the rubber cushion in alongside the frunk. But said fender is also not a flush surface on the upper profile (under the black plastic "gills") by 3-4 mm compared to the neighbouring door. Also noticing that the rubber gasket on the very top of that said door is not laying fully into the roof to prevent moisture getting there (will get interesting when things freezes).

With an Elroq 60, the lesser charge means in NMC technology, you'd have free space (I imagine similar idea as for old vs new e-Golfs). For Skoda as a manufacturer, the less-dense LFP technology most likely utilizes that theoretical void. The LFP offering is also seen in Tesla model 3 etc. I found it preferred, as it is less strict on the charging practices (takes 100% more frequently and by recommendation), and also seems to be a technology which is less prone to fire hazard. So far really chuffed with ours for even long journeys, even if driving an Octavia is a good thing.

Counting the hours before the handover scehduled tomorrow! 🤩 Having it delivered on not-so-sexy Luter 19" Nordic winter tires, heading for the mountains on Saturday. Will be a nice upgrade from running a classic Audi throughout the summer season.

I really have no opinion on packages sold locally, as they certainly differ at the hands of the importers... Even I skipped on the heat pump (Norwegian, close to Oslo so its somewhat coastal climate). It is my understanding after speaking to a local VAG quality claims-resource there have been some issues with the HPs in the past, but it seems to have improved quite a lot. But I got the input from a local owner, it really was of no big issue for daily driving, as one just preheats before departure as per quote above. But sure, a SCOP (feed vs output) of heating the car wit heat pump is surely better, by all means. I just wanted to go a bit basic with our spec to replace a Roomster. Then again, I tend to cherish the time with our Skodas, keeping them for too long anyhow... Chinese offerings seems to be quite cheaper, but I chose what I will enjoy over time and ease of ownership. Opted for the new 60 (new more efficient motor, and new LFP battery). We do keep our Octavia 3 though for now, as it has a significantly better boot capacity. The Golf/Octavia/Passat platform has become a rather good one, despite its age. Best of luck with your decision making !

How are you lot finding the standard audio package in these cars ? It was a €5000 upgrade package to get the Canton (as part of it), which in itself seems to not make everyone pleased and seeing its value.

Parting ways with our lovely Roomster and its DSG issues, and awaiting a smokey diamond 60 mid-tier spec car in September as a new daily. Between letting the Roomster go or similar age Octavia 3, it was an easy choice... Sadly Sportline has been removed from the offerings for the 2027 models, so no chance of "alcantara" (unless as vRS). It was around 5000 euro package to get the Canton - which seems debatable how worth they are - so need to consider a subwoofer and DSP amplifier pakcage at around 1100 euro for the smaller, standard audio package... If anyone having some insights, let me know.

Visited the dealership recently. This new platform seems really promising with big gains in the boot! But, the seating comfort of Enyaq into a compact Elroq is most likely better. And, upon opening in configurator here in Norway, I find no tow hook besides "preparations", pushing me in the direction of the Elroq instead.

No, that is absolutely also an option. But I would foresee some ECU requirements in doing so (essentially full engine, gearbox and wiring w/ECUs), so not sure what is the easiest approach here. Any inputs welcome...

Our Roomster 1.2 TSI 105 hp DSG-7 speed gearbox is acting up, badly. I already gave it the service kit of fluids + new pressure container, but to no significant improvement... Thus, I am now also having a Polo 1.2T DSG-7 parked outside, would an easy attempt to make things work be getting that 0AM gearbox over into to Roomster? I have no idea what it would take to separate a DSG box from the engine, and reinstall another in terms of anything no longer compatible with gearbox management etc.

Hi everyone! I have not, and probably will never become, the worlds greatest car audio head there is, but a black week sale led me on the journey to upgrade the OEM speakers. Since I only want to get a little more out of things without going over the top, my plan is to stick to the Amundsen+ (is only 4x14W RMS ?) and just swap speakers. A set of Hertz Dieci 6,5" component speakers found its way home, as I was okay with their price point, they rated well on sensibility (which is smart given the 14W RMS) and had a OK range coverage. Now tweeters are fit into the unmounted A-pillar covers, and I cut off the OEM connectors to reuse with the Hertz. Because the stock tweeters have an integral filter (capasitor), I assume their supply cable is running in parallel with those to the stock mid & low range speakers. Thus it would be no good to reuse for the Hertz, as split cabling is needed. Looking at the door-to-chassis transition, I wonder what would be the better routing as the connector in A-pillar seems to take up most of the available space there. I did note an additional, smaller, grommet below the big one that might be of use. What would you recommend as solution for getting a speaker signal from the doors to the tweeters ?

PLEASE OH PLEASE! Give it the 1200 kg trailer hitch capacity, and the fully flexible rear seat solution from Roomster/Yeti!

I support this. I was having a leak from a poor connection, and when looking underneath HEY PRESTO! looked like the back box had exploded. The one-piece is a **** piece. Was happy to have it replaced by 2 x Bosal items...

So, sorry for asking, but I really struggle finding any info re. the following message in the instruction booklet, local language or English versions. When I kill the ignition, the maxi-dot states a warning about "Check Safe function! Instruction booklet!". Tried reading fault codes, nothing specific there. Any ideas ? (New battery in keyfob tested, no success)

This is interesting. Are we talking model year or production year ? I sincerely fear our belowed 2013 'Family' has been given it's death sentence by a failing DQ200... It differes on day to day basis, but early symptoms is it slams into next gear on semi-load, and jutters somewhat now and then. The other day it totally lost its drive, jut revving and triggering the EPC and check engine light. I fear it is a local cost of approx 2500 GBP, for a car worth 2500-3000 GBP, so I'm a bit bummed out and need a proper estimate on this prior to adding more cost to it in other service parts needed too. 😞
