Ordered Scout 1.8 on Saturday May 24th. How long should I give the dealer before asking for a build date ?

2 or 3 weeks is my guess

Took me 3 days short of 6 weeks to get a build date

Ordered my 1.6 on 20th April. Still not got a build date.

Thanks all. I'll not go pestering yet then....

I ordered mine (through DtD) on March 31st and have been told "Your car is currently sitting in week build 31, and is liable to change until we have a confirmed week."

What does that mean?

They first told me 12 - 14 weeks, but at week 31 plus delivery, that's 22 weeks!!!

it means its scheduled to be built in week 31, but that date might change until skoda confirm a build week

Thats a very long time .... Just out of interest if you are quoted 12-16 weeks and it starts to creep upto 22 weeks where do you stand legally regarding the return of your deposit ?

I got a build week the day I ordered it. Build week 20

When I placed the order for my car on Friday 9 April (end of Week 15) I didn't ask for a build week, but when I went to the dealer three weeks later on 30 April they told me that build is scheduled for Week 32.

Car on order is: Octavia Elegance estate 1.4 TSI + DSG + sunroof + curtain airbags + maxi-dot + light assist + spare wheel + mats + anthracite

NB there is some discussion elsewhere on this forum that the Build Week number is not the same as the Week number that you can see in your calendar, e.g. Outlook, because there is no agreement on when week numbers start, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week_number#Week_numbering

Perhaps someone can clarify what week numbering Skoda uses?

Hmmm, interesting :wonder:

Well my dealer told me yesterday that i have got build week 20 and said that that was week commencing 17th May. So in my case that coincides with my outlook calendar

1 week from order dealer told me the build week.

I ordered a similar car and the build week (19) seems to coincide with the otlook.

5 weeks since we ordered and no build week as yet

ACSC :wonder:

Ordered my Scout 13/03 and just ot build date week 25. Means new CR diesel engine and 2011spec.

Where did you find out that?

Where did you find out that?

Told by my dealer today. I remember reading week 22 onwards was the week for 2011 spec. and he double checked to confirm.

Ordered Wednesday, got my order number and build week today. Week 24-26 estimate at present.

Just an update on my Scout ordered 24th April. Build week 31. Is this the star of July ?

Ordered Scout 1.8 on Saturday May 24th. How long should I give the dealer before asking for a build date ?

I got my build date 2 days after I paid my deposit (8th Feb), and it was built on the week stated (15).

I pick the 1.8TSI Scout up this Saturday (tomorrow) .3 Months since I ordered it.

Hope yours goes as smooth as mine.

Me too Bob :-) What colour and options did you go for ?

Me too Bob :-) What colour and options did you go for ?

Cappuccino and full size Spare wheel ,base Scout Model has everything I need, would have liked folding mirrors, but not an option on its own.

I do need 4X4 where I live 1000 feet up and lots of snow/ice in winter.

Had 2007 Xtrail Aventura 2.2 dci but dont need large towing vehicle any more.

Scout is fantastic value, I only do about 8K a year so 1.8TSI is more cost effective than TDI.

Looking forward to getting it tomorrow!!!
