Octavia build dates for new orders

[pinder21]

Ordered mine January 4th, Got an email last Wednesday saying it is now in build stage, i imagine delivery should be mid March?

[renton]

I know how you feel. The suspense of when I am likely to see my car is killing me.

[AshGSmith]

I ordered mine on 23rd December and it's being built this week According to the dealer I should have no issues taking delivery on 1st March, but I remain skeptical...!

Just found the following on a VW thread and wondering if is the same for Skoda, my guessing it is 

 

30- in transit from the factory.
36 and 38 - awaiting shipment from Emden.

Status 39 is on a boat from Germany to UK port
Status 40 is @ UK port (takes a few days to get through here, as each car has to be confirmed UK spec.
Status 60 means that a lorry has been allocated for delivery for a load and can take 2 days for lorry to leave port
Status 70 means it has arrived here, and needs to go through service before handover.

I had an email from the dealer this morning.

 

Car is built and is on its way to the dealership now, takes 3 to 4 weeks !!

 

You ordered shortly after me I remember and I've heard nothing from my dealer at all, so I shall be getting in touch this morning, would hope mine is at a similar stage, given I was originally told it would be April/May I wasn't chasing yet, but clearly should be!

These times don't collate with my build week, I'd say they're wrong and haven't changed since I ordered mine.

I order my VRS on the 11th Jan and was told the build start would be week 8 (next week) with delivery around 2nd week of March. Just had to reconfirmed by the dealer this morning. However, they did also mention a shipment of 2000 cars was cancelled recently due to bad weather which could delay things a little. Hope not though

I guess its a bit of pot luck.  I am on week 14 and today's update is the car is not even in the country.  So if it comes for the 1st of March it will be 17 weeks for my order.....

I think week 8 is around 22nd Feb, I got confused because I compared it with my Outlook calendar.

 

Mine is waiting to be put on a ship  .

 

Ordered 27th November so just in week 11 of the 13 quoted since order.

I am amazed but a little sceptical.

As previously posted, I ordered my vRS TDi hatch DSG on 23rd January and was subsequently told build week 8 (22nd Feb).

Had a call from the dealer this afternoon to tell me it's being built this week !! (Build week 6)

I hope they are looking at the right calendar - I won't complain though as at this rate I should be driving it early March.

But we will see................................

Just received info that my 1.6 greenline has arrived at the dealer. Ordered on first week of October 2015. Took a long 19 weeks!!

Whoa, that's a long wait! Did you spec many extras for it to take that long?

Mine is supposed to be Week 8 too, so I hope I'm in for some good news also...

[imikk3]

I ordered my vRS hatch on the 30th December and was told 13-16 weeks until delivered. 6 weeks gone still at least 6 weeks left. I have been told it may arrive earlier... Nerve wracking

Just a few extras:

Double sided boot mat

Mfsw

Chrome window

Smart link

Cruise control

I think it could be due to the vw emission issue?

[AshGSmith]

Well I had notification this morning that my car had been built and I've been assured that we're still on track for a 1st March handover, but it is still waiting at Emden. We shall see!

[ExSEAT]

Im gettin worried hearing these dates! I ordered on the 19th of Jan, was given a week 9 date (so 28th feb onwards) and was hoping miud march collection :(

Meanwhile Im driving a car I hate, with two rapidly vanishing tyres and fighting the seemingly increasing negative equity wolf at the door!

Incidently, book price for my 2014 leon fr is £12,300. Loical dealer are pushing an identical one with more mikes for £15,599. Self inflating residuals much ha ha!

_{Placed my order for a Metallic Grey vRS (petrol) on 23rd December. I had a text message from Skoda UK on February 5th advising me that it was being built this week. I'm guessing an early March delivery. Apart from the paint the only extras are Canton, heated seats, Black pack, folding mirrors and spare wheel.}

You had a text? That's pretty cool, would be nice to get that. I've had a few emails trying to build the hype up but nothing to actually give me any info on the progress.

[renton]

I've had nothing from skoda at all in fact I have to keep chasing the dealer.
