Congrats

Seems like there's hope for ordered cars with non-electric engines (eventhough it took more than 6 months from order to delivery).

Mine arrived on Saturday (week 29) after being ordered on 2nd March (week 9) - Manual VRS in black

Happy days @sicone ! And delivery alot speedier than for @Sliminator.

Hope to see pictures in the picture thread soon!

 

What engine @sicone? 2.0 TSI (non-electric), 2.0 TDI (non-electric) or the 1.4 TSI iV?

 

@Sliminator: do you know what week the VIN of your car was registrered? (my latest status change was VIN and I'm trying to figure out whether they'd only register the VIN when the car is actually complete, i.e. not only partially complete due to missing components due to shortage of semi conductors)

I would request bit more info than a vague on track

eg build week and status code

 

You want to make sure they have actually looked up your order, rather than send a generic answer

I thinking am putting my head in the sand and hoping all will be well in the end.if I get no word in a week or so I will contact them.i did tell them I required the car no later than first week in October ,when I ordered it and up to now and they do keep telling me every Friday the date for delivery is ok and even expect it earlier than the date  I told them ie start of October.

They were telling me the same until it was build and now getting rust on a parking lot with another 55 000 cars...

Ask for Build week. Then ad another 8 weeks on top of that to get it finished.

Then around 4 weeks to have it at your local dealer...

The cars bunkered now are not sitting over a European winter like the tens of thousands the VW group had when they were waiting on  the WLTP and RDE certification.  That was many months for some over a hard winter.

I don't get any information from Hendy Skoda Bournemouth. It's like I'm a leper! They have their order and seem not to give a damn.

For comparison, here is a page put out by VW Australia to explain the issues.

https://www.volkswagen.com.au/en/vehicle-delivery-delays.html

 

I ordered the car on 27 April and received 30-35 weeks for the car. For now no VIN, no nothing. The car is Octavia Ambition 1.0 TSI.

I ordered the car on December 7, it arrived at the dealership yesterday

I know most of us are waiting for delivery of our cars.just wondering does it make any difference in delivery times.with what model car you have ordered?ie if you order a petrol or diesel car,does these car use less semi conductors than all electric/ hybrid cars.just a thought.

I believe it does, as does manual against dsg.

Thanks for posting, so about 34 weeks (or 8 months)

As someone else has been told 34-35 weeks I think that is probably realistic timeframe

Seems until 23 August there will be no news about our cars.

I was told by Skoda salesman few weeks ago that Octavia and karoq are mostly affected and not Kamiq and Scala. But i can't find any source which models are really affected at Skoda.  Kamiq and Scala were 3 months aprox and the others march 2022+ 

@soussi For octavia you got 2022 as date?
