Ordered a VRS Diesel from local dealer on 04/10/2010 with extras of Leather, Rear Parking Sensor & Bi-Xenoms. Initially given a Week 4 (2011) build but which steadily slipped backwards until I ended up with no build expectation at all.

Today, I have received a revised Week 18 Build which means mid May with 2 - 3 weeks then added for delivery to the dealer. That takes us into early June and 26 weeks after initial order. Dealer explained that the delays are due to a part required for the exhaust system and high demand for diesel engines.

Skoda U.K. have agreed to provide a Courtesy car to see me through to June - No idea what model but it will be fairly new with under 10,000 miles on the clock.

Just an update for those in the same boat.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome to Briskoda, sorry to hear of the delays you are suffering but glad that Skoda are giving your a car in the meantime.

As youre probably aware there are lots of potential new Skoda owners in the same boat ( same with VW customers).

Youre probably aware of the compensation setup for these delays, if not a search on the site will provide this info.

Some friendly advice - given you have arranged a loan car from SUK & not the dealer, In your position I would speak to SUK & get the name of the person you speak to along with noting date & time you spoke to them, & confirm that this will NOT affect any compensation due when the car arrives. There have been posts where the claim has been reduced due to a loan car being provided.
