As above, where are the Octavia vRS made?

Mostly in the Czeck Republic, but bits of mine are stamped "Skoda: Made in Germany".

I knew they were german parts but was unsure where they were assembled

Pretty sure it's in the Czech Rep somewhere.

I remember reading a couple of years ago that the Czech factory that produces the vRS, was, at the time the best factory (most efficient, best build quality etc) in the whole VAG group. What happened to mine then?! Has loads of squeeks and rattles :(

Well it has now..... sorry couldn't resist

Most Skoda's are built in Mlada Bolaslav about 60km from Prague,Superb's are built at i think at Kvasiny where the old Rapid coupes were also made along with any specials and prototypes.The plant at Vraclabi built 4x4 Octavia's also a place where specials are built."Made in Germany" is related to the common parts bin that are used in all the VAG groups Skoda's are NOT built there,they would cost as much as a VW or Audi if they did !

You can tell where your Skoda is built by the chassis number.

eg..

TMBDHO1U8Y8123456

The tenth digit indicates production location

2 = Mlada Boleslav (Octavia)

3 = Mlada Boleslav (Fabia)

4 = Mlada Boleslav (Fabia)

6 = Kvasiny (Fabia)

7 = Vrchlabi (Fabia)

8 = Vrchlabi (Octavia)

X = Poznan (Octavia)

Dont have any info on Superb, if someone with a Superb wants to check thier tenth digit and let me know i'll update it.

Been to the Skoda factory in Mlada Boleslav. It is HUUUUUGE! Took ages just to drive in and out the place again.

Well worth the drive there and back

The MK1 octy vRS was made in Vrchlabi. The bodyshells were shipped from Mlada Boleslav, the car was then finished in the other factory.

It is the Mlada Boleslav factory details that are on the number plate surrounds that a number of us have recently bought....

7 still left if anyone wants one......

The cats out of the bag now isn't it.... We thought you had it all in your head.... You're just ruining our perception of you now...

My head is full of useless tat, but I like to make sure what I print is correct so a little refreshing is sometimes required.

The cars for the Indian market are made in a factory In India I think

Thanks guys I always like to know my cars inside and out

10 th digit doesn't seem to tie up, seems to be the 11th digit on my 3 cars that ties up with above my Superbs 11th digit is 9

Didnt check the example that just counted 10 from left on my chassis numbers as detailed in the text

i.e

You're not wrong! :P

I bet Porsche Cayenne owners did not know the bodyshells are assembled in Slovakia then finnished off in east Germany !

Some are made here

NB note my pic.

Technically the model ident i.e 1U counts as one digit.

:D A lot of my car has been built in Dublin Ireland......Considering the repairs it had within the first 2 years and the parts replaced under warranty as well as parts replaced just outside the warranty:(
