Ordered Octavia VRS CR DSG Hatchback in Race Blue week 23 - build date week 44 - (could improve?) original dealer estimate was from week 36

extras - Front / rear parking sensors Auto dimming mirror / rain sensor / light assist multifunction steering wheel MDI cable Temporary spare wheel

There are updates planned for Octavia from week 45 build (confirmed by factory email), so trying to find out direct what they are / if my car will have them etc.

Allowing factory shut for 3 weeks in July, still did not expect to wait so long. Also have px that may now be valued lower (ok still using it but now have to buy 2 more tyres as done 43k and bad roads are now taking their toll on wear tracking etc)

My build date went from week 44 to wk 38 then 41 / 42 to wk 43.

In the last 3 weeks, went back to wk 44 then wk 45. Today, Skoda Uk confirmed now wk 48!

Julie at Customer Services will now keep me posted. I am gutted, as I cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel. At this rate, car will be registered in 2011!

Anyoneone else in the same boat?

Ordered Elegance Estate 2 litre DSG on 31st March. Was originally told 12 week delivery, therefore end June. Next to no communication from our dealer, we are now end of September and told delivery won't be until December - possibly even January 2011!!!

Last week now wk 50 build + 4 weeks transit = week 2-3 Jan? Skoda do not count 3 week shutdown, was a mistake = 31 wks

Found out on 24/9 , that could have loan car option fron week 41, as I have px but forego up to £ 300 compensation. As px will need warranty extended / mot / service / rfl at end Dec + 2 new rear tyres soon, giving it serious consideration.
