i know what you all mean with the new 9.2" finger print magnet screen, but I cant see me having anything other as mine has not even had status 20 yet. I will be on the hunt for something similar to what they use on mobiles these day to cut down/prevent it becoming a finger print magnet even if I have to cut it to size. Failing that theres always a microfiber cloth after every journey
I test drove the Passat sport with the virtual dash before ordering the Superb and was not sure on it but suppose we will all have to accept it a few years down the line.......it would have been every boy racers dreams in the 70s and 80s lol
What is status 20? Where do you find this stuff out?

@Neil201 yip same opinion really. I prefer the new style gear knob on the dsg but the jury is out on the new display. On balance, because it's new, I'd probably prefer the MY18 stuff no matter what but in practical terms I think the MY17 setup might be preferable. I did notice that the new style screen seems only to have "buttons" (capacitive touch buttons that is) on the left side. So it's not just a straight replacement like for like physical buttons replaced with touch screen buttons. That might be get a bit annoying on the new 9.2 inch screen as the driver will need to reach the far side of the screen for all the quick buttons. A small thing but I know that touch screens on the move aren't always great anyway (hence option to use physical buttons and knobs is always good) so all not lost as MY17 still a good setup.
Just as an aside i note that audi don't do a touch screen preferring to stick to the centre console knob and button setup. I think they call it MMI or something similar.

Got email today (after prompting dealer obviously!). Car ordered end March and build week 21 (w/c 22 May) is confirmed. Dealer should have it by 19th/20th June available for collection end of that week. That's 13weeka from order to delivery all going well. Missed MY18 by 1 week. Can't make my mind up if bothered ot not as new touchscreen looks nice but will be a finger mark magnet. Car ordered is SEL est 2.0 tdi dsg jessy front sensors, spare wheel, pegasus 18inch

Key fob battery I'd guess. Hold key fob to area on steering colum (manual will show you where) to get it to start. Is turn off stop start function until fixed

I'm starting to think the online tracker is a fantasy unless order via 1 of the 2 or 3 dealers that're hooked up to the trackmyskoda site. This thread has 112pages and I've not seen anyone direct anyone else to a tracker of any sort other than the trackmyskoda one.

That's great, TONYDO - but... where is the online order tracker? Is it Skoda's or your dealer's?
With a potential wait up to 8 months from ordering I'm desperate for any signs of progress...!
All the best, Rob
I'm like you SwissRob. Is see people on here referring to trackers but I can't find any other than the "trackmyskoda" which doesn't work unless you've ordered from the dealer that set it up. What does status 30 mean? How do people know the car has left factory and ia at the dock? Or on the boat? Some seem to even know which boat!!!! My dealer cant even confirm the build date other than to say it's too close to the build date to alter the spec. I'm confused!

Ordered SEL exec dsg 2.0 front sensors, kessy, spare wheel. Called dealer today to ask if I could add paddles for dsg. He spoke to skoda and no can do. It's within 5 weeks before build so too late. Although slightly annoyed that can't add additional spec (it's my fault really), I'm more pleased that the build date doesn't seem to have slipped from build week21.
Should also have said, ordered Quartz grey with pegasus wheels. Thought about modus but went for pegasus. Not sure I like the standard. Think they are called zenith.

OK new superb in January. Air-conditioning has broken, dealers need a tool to identify leak. 4 weeks later no progress despite ME having to chase them........Then cruise control packs in due to front park assist issue. So to local dealer who don't have the calibration kit to fix so I have to book in with a dealer an hour away. Hadnt considered after sales when I made the choice.....so hopefully the new dealer can sort. Glad it's a lease car........wish I'd not been so tight and gone for the Volvo V90......
Sorry you having a toughb time with skoda. Don't be too hard on yourself though I'm moving in other direction. Got an xc60 D4 at the moment and got Superb on order. Love the Volvo but had lots of reliability problems. It's been back to dealer more times than all other cars I've had put together. I'm not joking! ERG X2, DPF X2, broken heater/AC fan, cracked coolant pipe X2 visits to fix, random limp mode a number of times. .....the lis goes on. Dealer been fine about it and got courtesy car etc but not good enough from what should be a premium car. That said nice to drive and goes very well 181bhp 400nm torque plenty to my mind. The V90 you are listing after if it's the D4 is the same engine (might be 190bhp now).

Yay, my L&K Superb hatch is at status 30 and on transit to Emden from Factory. Not bad since I ordered end of second week in Feb :-)
How dI'd you know or where did you see the status 30. And what did that mean. Is there an order tracker?

Many thanks for the replies. Are the Pegasus wheels flat at the hub rather than the inverted design of the 17"

Dealers should have updates of what is coming in builds from week 22 by now, and should be able to advise you, on these changes. It might also be possible to find out when your build week would be, if you placed an order now, as who knows, you might end up with a build week 21, if order was placed too soon.
Order placed in last week of March to tie into date of curgent car going back. Provisional build date of week 21! Typical!

Yes
Is that the same key fob you get on all Kessy models or just L&K? Could you post some more pics. I've ordered DEL Exec and spec'd kessy and wondering what fob I'll get. Does it have a flip out key?

My week old SE Technology.
Love that they changed the default wheels.
Hey. Just ordered one the same but the SEL Exec. Love the pegasus alloys but still don't know if they are diamond cut. Are they?
-
Just got my SLI number but not sure if I can track order anywhere. Anyone use the www.trackmyskoda.co.uk website? Is there an official skoda UK tracking site?

Just ordered, after a long and analytical research period (don't ask how long), SE L Estate, 150tdi dsg, quartz grey, pegasus silver alloys, heated screen, front sensors, kessy, spare wheel. No order number yet. Told it might take a week or so.....hope he remembers to actually go onto pc and place order. Paper order done so far. Looking forward it, might just make it into MY18 which might mean new gear know, kodiak style, and new touchscreen. Don't really care about either hence didn't bother holding order back

Its true what you say, mine was ordered with anthracite but came with silver - only came to light when I was at dealers to collect.
The thing to note is that the brochure (from Nov 16 on wards I think) now does not show the Anthracite wheels even though the configurator did / does.
My dealer agreed with my point that I had not been told and arranged for the Anthracite wheels to be obtained and retro fitted to my car. I have subsequently decided I like the silver and will stick with them.
Pays to check though my order form clearly showed Anthracite wheels. Should have been picked up during the pre delivery checks I think, not when I the customer picks up the car.
Are the silver ones still diamond cut or standard painted silver. I know the anthracite ones are diamond cut hence the reason for checking.

Both are Sportline (small black spoiler). The one on the left is a 280 (4x4 badged), the other isn't. Rear wiper is an option.
Haven't seen the video, don't use FB, so I don't know if it claims them to be MY18 models but they are no different to what I suspect they actually are, current MY17 models.
Unless my18 cars are getting chrome tailpipes and the wiper is a standard feature rather than an option

here you can see comparison interior photos of the MY17 vehicle vs the new MY18 update for the Superb with:
- 9.2" touchscreen infotainment system
- new gear shifter taken from the KODIAQ
- piano black finish to the A/C control panel
This vehicle was just on display at this months Geneva motor show.
Does anyone know the timing as to when an order needs to be placed with a dealer to ensure an MY18 production/delivery?
thanks
I'm about to place an ordered for an SE L Exec. I'll watch this thread with interest as I'm talky interested to know if mine will be a my17 or a my18. Anyone know when my18 production starts? Presumably at mid year point? Week 26? Where were these pics taken? They've clearly built at least 1 at my18 spec

The SEL version has non anthracite pegasus as standard as far as I know.
Yes they are definitely a no cost option in silver on the SE L Exec but are the silver ones diamond cut?
