Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System

Featured Replies

Hammer32 - That's strange on my order form it only shows a 4 digit number which i thought was a bit short

According to my local dealer there used to be a 6 digit order number but that was updated to an eight digit number - there has never been a 4 digit order number.

My dealer also tells me my Skoda is built and watching the tide ebb and flow at the dockside in a foreign port.

I presume that's reasonably good news - isn't it?

Sorry Roryboy but your discription of your skoda just made me think of it sitting singing this song

I like it, I like it!

I just wish someone would give Otis a pair of oars and let him get that d*mned boat, and my car, moving over to these shores.

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I think mine might be sitting next to yours, touching door mirrors.

The Salesman has rung me to inform me the car arrived in the Uk yesterday and they 'should' have it at the Dealers early next week.

A bit of music to warm the cockles of our hearts.

Just been told it's on the transporter and I will have it before Christmas.

Fabia SE PLUS 1.6 TDI CR90 - ordered Friday 25th November 2011

Fabia VRS,Red,Black Roof,Dark Chrome Alloys. Ordered 16/10/2011 collecting Friday 23rd December, what a great Christmas present :)

hammer32 - are we at the same dealers - Rainworth?

:ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

No i'm getting mine from Beadles at Maidstone.

I just tried the www.trackmyskoda.co.uk site to check my car was it was down for Week 50 build, and according to the site its not been built yet!! emailed the dealer but i will be surprised if i get a reply before the new year!!

I picked up the Fabia Estate at noon and it hasn't stopped raining since!

Looks well, drives well and I'm very pleased with the car.

When it stops raining and I can get round to sorting out things like the seat position and the trip computer then we'll get it ready for its first trip abroad next week.

No problems with the Salesman and Dealership and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

A good start to my first experience of Skoda and their vehicles.

Ordered my Fabia 1.2tsi estate on 6th September 2011. Today was told a provisional build date of week 11. Looking like 7 months from order to collection... I thought they were improving? :(

Is it a DSG? This was the bottleneck when we bought one.
