Re posts above - underbonnet insulation just fitted to my ordinary vRS.

£25, or £33.50 including delivery from Bickerton Skoda, Sheffield. AKA skodaparts.com

 

Comes complete with fixing clips - watch you don't drop them in the engine bay. Otherwise fitting takes twenty minutes instead of two.

To fit, first place the three tabs inside the bonnet stiffening frame near the rear bonnet edge, then just push the clips into place around the edge and the two in the middle. There's a video on youtube. In Spanish but you don't need any sound.

 

Adds a little substance to the sound of the bonnet slam. A satisfying thunk compared with the standard clang. And looks better too. Not a fire risk.

Sitting well in the garage with some other cars.

 

Its alive!!!!

 

Flowers as well..

 

Very nice KjetilRos and is that a mk2 escort parked in front of the vRS and Volvo, cool garage [emoji108]

When did you place the order / who told you?

 

I placed an order for one of these on 28th of May and my order form and was told by Sales guy and Sales Manager that mine will be here for 1st September?

Order form signed and returned 27th May

National Sales Manager for VW/Skoda at Jardine Motor Group rang skoda today and they have confirmed what he told me. If order is not already in with a build date, you are looking at October (end Sept if very lucky).

Do you have a build date?

Might be a long wait!

Half a dozen 230s on the web, 16 plates, very little miles, around £21-22k.

I have been considering the idea. Just need to get a spec close to my original order. I can walk away up to build date (whenever this will be) on my order with no costs, so maybe!!

Ordered my 230 on the 19th May so I might be ok.

 

 

I'm waiting for a return call from dealer to confirm................

Just spoken to my Dealer who confirms a build week of WK 31 but at Status 10, Status 10 means ( how I understand it ) the Factory has the Order but not a Confirmed build week until the Order has reached Status 20 then a confirmed build week is definate. The dealer doesn't know what the time scale is from Status 10 to Status 20.

 

There getting back to me tomorrow to tell me Yes or No after they have made a few phone calls to Skoda.  If it's a No I might cancel

Oh yeah, if they say it's not ready on the 1st even though they've committed to it and they seem really keen to get it in for that date I will look at cancelling, if I have to wait. I will try and see if they can knock 1k off the car else I'm going else where.

Bye Skoda

Looks like I'm out, no build week and the dealer says it could be December, I'm not waiting that long.

 

Asked the dealer why some one orders a car on 28th May and gets a build date, I order on the 19th and don't 

 

Dealer cok up I ask...........   Not a Happy bunny

It actually saddens me knowing orders are being cancelled due to the ridiculous wait times.. I am experiencing multiple issues with Skoda at the moment for different stories yet I am buying another car because I love the brand. Yet they're being complete assholes. It's unfair.

As I said, sales manager, branch manager and sales exec all said I'll get it 1st September. If this changes, I will demand money off, else they'll loose me as a customer also.
