Yes, it's 1.5TSI with DSG.

 

At the time I ordered, I also thought of that engine but then I went to the 1.0 tsi manual.
Good luck with the car.

Uff we have only just been given our build date (28th of may) for a 1.0 tsi dsg estate ordered in December. May be 68 plate by the time we receive it 

[peterhardy]

That's a long wait! Sounds like it's going to be maybe 6 months then order to collection. Not good! 

[Almeida]

  Congratulations on the date.

 

I can only wait...

Now you know there can only be one . Which colour is the best and the fastest??

well, it *was*, until they started allowing it on non-vRS models and it lost its exclusivity 

[peterhardy]

Can't argue with that. I very nearly went for the Rallye Green for that very reason .

Hello.

 

Order my Octavia 1.0 TSI style on 05 of April.

On the 28 of May i received an sms from Skoda informing that my car has scheduled production.

 

This means that it is the production week??

 

thanks

My Octavia 1.0 SE Estate has been at Emden for over a week now.  I'm driving to Austria on 23/6 and had been hoping to have it by then but I don't think that's going to happen.  Dealer is considering whether to loan me a car rather than put miles on my Yeti.

Hi John

 

It does look unlikely that you will have your Octy in time, though there's an outside chance. Fingers crossed for you though!

Hi Almeida

 

Sorry, I must have missed your post.

 

I would have expected them to tell you the build week allocated to your car. Usually this is 2 weeks later, so hopefully built by tomorrow.

 

Have you had any further information?

No more news at this time. 

Hope this week for something.

With a bit of luck your car has been built and has left the factory. 

[AlexBlue]

I ordered last week of March (1.4 SEL est). It was built last week of May, and of yesterday it was 'sat in Germany waiting for a boat' - my contact said that there are quite a few waiting there, and thinks there must be some kind of issue.

 

Good thing is that I've gone from a bit excited to get a new car, to terrified on spending so much on a car (more than 3x what I've ever spent), and back to looking forward to it again!

That would be great.

My dealer said  that I will receive an sms confirming the prodution of the car.

And then one more month to get the car.

Mine's in the same boat (pun intended).  Built last week in May and waiting at Emden for a boat to UK since at least 7th June.  I was told that there had been an issue with some UK ports being congested as they were full of new cars waiting for collection.  Don't know if that's true.

3 plus week waits at Grimsby are not uncommon.  My car sat on the ship in port for a week before another week on the dockside.  If you had a car transporter you could make a lot of money at the moment

On the other hand, dealer is loaning me a 1 month old Superb Sportline Hatch 1.4 DSG to take to Austria rather than put the miles on my Yeti .  Hopefully when I get back the Octavia will have arrived.
