I picked mine up a couple of days ago. I'm enjoying it so far. Only real issues are a hesitant auto gearbox and slightly glitchy infotainment system. I hope all those of you who are still waiting receive some good news soon.

Hi, no sorry I never filled it in. Was a VRS hatch TDI 4x4 ordered 11th August 2021 in the UK.

I heard from the dealer today. My VRS has arrived and I can collect it next Tuesday. Yay!!

Yesterday I was told by my dealer that they are expecting my VRS by the end of the month, but they can't give me an exact date. I'm a little suspicious that there's less than 4 weeks to go and they can't say. I'm not holding my breath.

I've had an email today from Johnsons Skoda inviting me to their VIP event. I haven't even had the car I ordered over a year ago and they're trying to sell me another😂

That's great. So happy for you. Photos?

No I won't, I know that production date doesn't mean much, but it's better news than no news.

I have had a message from Skoda today that my car will go into production in week 32 - 2nd week of August, 12 months after ordering.

I spoke with my Skoda dealer today and I still don't even have a build date. 10 months of waiting and absolutely nothing.🤬

I think everyone is waiting until 2023 when the next batch of cars is due to be delivered🤣. We'll have something to talk about then, and share some photo's of our new toys 😁

I received a letter from Skoda a couple of days ago in which they state that the war in Ukraine is one of the contributing factors for the delays.

My build date was given as end of October, delivery for end of November. Yeah right. 🤣 I expect as of November I also will be subject to the one week push backs well into 2023. Oh well, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

I have hust had an update on my TDI 4x4 VRS, ordered 11/08/21. Estimated delivery now end of November 2022. That will be 15 months. I'm not even optimistic that date will be accurate. Looks like 2023 will be realistic.🤯🤬

What? If my dealer approaches me and delivers news like that I will definitely be cancelling my order. 19 months is ridiculous.

Yep, my estimate is going to be at least half of the actual delivery date, from 7 to 14 months.

Or opt for an overinflated second hand market.

I have received a provisional delivery date of October 2022 for my VRS. Order was placed through Skoda dealer 10th August 2021. Looks like we're up to at least a fourteen month wait now then.

Thanks. I'll leave things well alone then and wait it out. Good luck everyone, I hope you receive your orders soon.

Way after yours, August 10th. I have considered asking the dealer if it would make a difference if I changed my order from TDI to petrol. It doesn't have a build date yet so not sure if I could change my order or not at this stage, or if it would make a difference.

Hi Joss, still nothing here either. My previous PCP is up so I am selling my current car this week. Thankfully we are a two car family so I can still get to work. Unfortunately it's a two seater so family trips out will have to wait.😆

Hey @Joss1733, any more news on your car yet?

You're probably right.

I spoke with my dealer again yesterday. They still don't even have a build date for my VRS ordered on 10th August 2021.

Thanks Joss1733. I always knew this was going to be a long wait. Original delivery date was Feb 2022 but I knew that was probably optimistic. I expect it to be more like July...if I'm lucky. I just wanted to share my progress with everyone.

I am in the UK. I ordered my Tdi 4x4 vrs hatch in red with DCC and rear view cam on 10/8/21. When I spoke to my dealer he informed me that there isn't even a build date yet for my order.
