Is this not just the same engine with a different map? If it is then Skoda need a proper petrol head in the Fabia tuning area, not granny gum drops who used to work at the Co-op

Nice one! Did you go Monte in the end and what colour? Yep certainly some exciting weeks ahead, I hope we don't get too harsh a winter so that we can enjoy our new rides.

Ok so I have ordered the Leon FR 1.5 DSG, they have some cracking deals on at the minute and for only £7 more a month than what i would have been paying for a Fabia Monte DSG with a few extras I have a whole lot more car IMO it comes standard with bells, whistles, trumpets the lot. Should be here for Christmas

12 - 16 weeks on either which would be expected.

Well the order books open when we placed it however we cancelled it. The Karoq lead time is ridiculous as well.

It will be the Leon FR 1.5 DSG I will go for. And we are not too sure yet on the other as we have yet to test drive the Ateca. Our dealer lost the order for a Karoq SEL DSG.

Very true but hopefully the SEAT dealership will have technicians rather than monkeys maintaining the vehicles.

Seriously!? That is interesting and something to keep in mind, I am set the Leon at the minute and the Arona or Ateca for the other half.

Sorry to say I have cancelled my order. I will not be staying with Skoda. I won't go in to depth but my family have encountered several problems throughout our ownership. Just cancelled around £45K of orders as the final nail in the coffin happened at the weekend. I am staying with the VAG group however and most likely heading over to SEAT. Farewell to you all and I may still drop by to see what's going on.

Could it be a travel block left in maybe?

This along with other problems experienced has caused us to cancel over £45K worth of orders for two new cars.

Can't believe I am reading this now, had ours in the weekend for MOT and an unplanned software update. Only to find out the update has failed and now the car will not even start! I am not sure if its professionals or monkeys they have in the service department but I may take a pack of bananas when they finally get the car running again just in case.

Is that SEL or Monte?

I would of said so yes, a delivery charge was not mentioned on my recent order so it must be built in the OTR price
