If they follow the Audi model year updates then it'll be for cars from build week 22 onwards

Mine is due to be built during BW14. If this is true, can I ask for mine to be delayed to reflect the updated spec?

You can try but I doubt it. You would probably have to cancel your order and start again.

If you cancel you wont be able to re-order. No new orders, books closed 

Week 22 onwards, which you cant place an order for currently.
That or its French only, northern Ireland have a different base model aswel... I wouldn't imagine that would be UK spec unless they are going a massive price adjustment (going up)

No worries, it's fine. Some of the new spec would have been nice and would match what I currently have. Still looking forward to the 245, should be a very capable car nonetheless.

When does MY 2019 start? If its week 22 won't we be getting into the window for ordering about week 10...and we're on week 7 now.   No guarantee whatsoever that standard equipment will be better of course. 

 

 

Had my weekly 'we have no clue where your car is call'.

 

I was nice, asked the lady when all the cars were due and she said by august!!

 

Pointed out my Audi was going back march 19th and she said she would see about getting me a car til mine was ready.

 

Will get an update in 2 weeks now, and then I'll drop the CEO another email

 

It's actually quite funny now - would be less so if I didn't have another car or two.

Told today that my car ordered first week of November wouldn't be delivered now til end of May. I'm probably going to cancel.

I had to do the same as my current car goes back the last day of Feb, my new car is sat at the dealers waiting to be collected on March 1st.

Ahh, i ordered in October and was told 'somewhere between april and june' so gave up with skoda and ordered a golf r instead. As i said above, its already in the country and has an allocated reg. Also the insurance was £200 cheaper than the Octavia. Win win.

how can a golf R be cheaper to insure than a octavia?

No idea to be honest, it shocked me.

Octavia VRS 245 insurance group 29

Golf R insurance group 34

you definitely got lucky with that, Faster, more desirable, worth more money, probably a lot more expensive to repair, Chavs seem to like to steal them a lot yet cheaper to insure?

let us know how it is when you get it anyway, thinking ill be looking at a golf r wagon for next car.

I think I just got lucky, I bet next year it'll shoot up. I has a vRS back in 2014 so it'll be nice to have something different. I keep watching all of the online reviews, I'm just slightly excited.

bet you are, i did that before i got the octy. get fed up of not being able to understand the lanuguages on some! i envy the 4WD for sure!!!

Not sure I follow you... are you saying Kessy and reversing camera are standard kit on any 2018 VRS incl 245?

They are in France, yes. But we don't get the same standard options that you get in the UK. Doc attached for comparison and to test your French

Reversing camera.  Kessy as standard. I can't work out the rest that are different. Pictures helped

I’m in the same boat with my skoda going back in 1st week March. Skoda uk

have agreed to cover my mot, cost of 2 new tyres plus the additional monthly payment until my 245 arrives so i

won’t be out of pocket. They’ll also extend my current vrs until

the new one arrives so happy overall with Skoda service but agree the weekly ‘no news’ calls are frustrating

With a lot of our cars being delayed and people have either sold or about to give back their current cars (I sold mine just before Xmas) so has anyone managed to blag a car from Skoda to get them about for the time being?

The reason is I’ve got a longish trip at the end of the month and I don’t really trust the £250 Mercedes to get me there and back. 

Some advice on how I’d go about this would be fantastic 

 

Mini are offering a Countryman 48hr test drive at selected dealerships.

Try hiring a car and ask Skoda to cover the cost. 

Mine is built and in transit to the port!   Becoming real now I should have it in a couple of weeks!

Had my updates this week, car has landed in the UK and will be in dealer either tomorrow or next week.

Still cant collect it for a month though ! :'(
