Got to the dealership and they had put it in show room which was a nice touch. Can't wait to have a proper play tomorrow after work

That's a lovely machine Stu

Very nice Stu

 

Mine will look the same. What extras did you have put on?

 

Enjoy!!!!

Only the black pack with the wheels. I wanted the smart link but even the dealer said it wasn't worth having, plus I can get that any time if I really want it. None of the other options were that important to me. Part of me wishes I had got the panoramic roof but that was an expensive upgrade and a wanted to keep my repayments sensible.

I'm very happy with it though.

Got a call this evening from my dealer, my BW 8 4x4 VRS Estate that was ordered 16/01 arrived today, I'm picking it up on Monday!

So 8 weeks from order to delivery, not quite as fast as my Yeti's 6 weeks but I'm still really chuffed

 

THAT'S good news!     Hopefully mine will be similar. 

 

Edited cos I spotted your reply re options.

Just been informed that my car is being built next week (week 9?). Was ordered 15th January. Expected at dealers 3rd week in March. It's a 2.0 SE L in Topaz Brown Metallic.

Phoned Skoda Customer Services today, car arrived yesterday at Tyne Port and should be with Dealer next week. Hopefully collect week after.

Skoda seem to have gotten their act together. I got a call from the dealer yesterday to say the car had already arrived in Dublin (once again ahead of schedule). They should have it next week and I should have it mid to late next week.

Mines sat at the dealers, after the confusion mid week it's been sat there since Wednesday. Its still got all of its delivery armour on it! Would have been nice for them to let me know though. Will be arranging collection soon! Got to sit in it and everything!!

Ordered my Vrs 06/01/16 and had BW9. Told it will arrive early April (poss 13 weeks from order)!

Must be the spec I chose that is slowing it up compared to others who ordered after me but already receiving theirs.

Mine was ordered around 20th of Jan, given BW9 but that reduced to BW8. Delivered to the dealer this wed, making it around 7 weeks. Hopefully one more week to make it 8 and it will be mine. Massive improvement in the 12 weeks initially quoted and a mile off the worst quote I got which was 18 weeks!! It's a VRS TSI with electric mirrors, heated seats and a spare wheel

Will check with customer service as to status of mine.

Hoping mine got brought forward, as I don't want to wait any longer.

My build week 7 arrived in the UK last Saturday (the 5th) but I have not heard anything since. I don't like doing it but perhaps I should pester my dealer on Monday for an update. 

 

Edit - slightly worse than I thought actually arrived the 3rd - should check my messages properly!

I would be asking them for sure Bart, unless you have a reason to stall. To be honest a week after arrival it should be PDI'd, registered and polished ready to pick up. I'd be a bit miffed without any comunication to be honest

I'd be on the phone, mine arrived at the dealers on Thursday and they'll have it ready first thing Monday morning

No reason to stall, like most people posting here I want it asap. As soon as they open Monday I'm on the phone. 

Ordered mine 29/12 collected Saturday.

Quartz grey 220TSI, kessy, heated front and rears, reverse cam, power boot and grey stitching.

Dealer fitted wrong plates so removed them while waiting for the right ones to be delivered later that day.

Hi all, can anyone confirm if their Vrs comes with lock nuts? Have tried to research this but have not been too successful, yet dealer wasn't able to confirm either. Paranoid about my 19" xtremes!

Been given a 'tracking number' for my new vRS - can I track it online, or do I have to call Skoda Customer Service every time?

They do in the UK, not sure about Ireland. It should say in the brochure.

You can also ask them on Twitter or Facebook, they reply during working hours.

I got onto Skoda Ireland and they confirmed that the lock nuts do not come as standard, which is pretty poor on a car with a starting price of €35k!

Car has now arrived. I was driving behind the transporter carrying it and decided to follow it to the dealership. When I got there he let me drive off the loader and into the yard for them to program the features. Very very happy.

Update - the order for the transporter has been raised* and car should be picked up in the next couple of days and then arrive at the dealers within two days.

 

* the dealer has no input in raising the order for the transporter evidently

 

That will make it about 2 weeks from arriving at UK port to dealer!

 

I know I should not really moan as it will be considerably quicker than original delivery estimate.

 

It's just seeing all the lovely photos of new VRS's on here makes me

Chased my car up today as I know it was at Grimsby on Monday of last week, and had a transport order made the same day, but hasn't appeared anywhere yet. Turns out it's with the transport company in holding somewhere, but has now been given priority and should be at my dealer this week.

 

Still a small chance of a Saturday collection I reckon, with a following wind.

 

I'm enjoying the Fabia Monte Carlo they've loaned me while I wait, but I really really want to get into my vRS!

I've just signed my docs, pickup is Thursday after work. All in it is 8 weeks and 1 day from order to pick up, but it's been at the dealers for a week so could have been less. Happy man at the moment!

Ordered 04/03, just been quoted a build week starting 9th May. Don't need the car till the start of July, so that should give plenty of time to get it over to the dealer
