Spoke to Skoda Uk Customer services about my 245 order and they confirmed MY19 will start from week 31 this year (not 22 as per previous years).

 

Not sure if this applies just to the Octavia or all models but am guessing the latter.  This means the factory will close in July and open 30 July (wk 31) with the MY19 cars.

looks like it alright, with the new GPF engine due in or around week 26 that could easily become week 31, bit of a disaster for anyone coming to the end of a deal, i had mine timed to coincide with ordering to capture any week 22 changes

My wk 22 build got changed to wk 18 today - was hoping i’d get a few more options thrown in if it had stayed at wk22 but bringing forward an order is always a positive

That's fair enough regards the MY changes, however the only thing I can add is that Skoda CS, although helpful, rarely know exactly what is happening at the factory.

 

Unfortunately they fairly often spout rubbish and tell people what they want to hear.
