I have just spoken to my dealer who confirms that my build date has gone from week 22 to week 33 i.e. delivery August/September. He says that the Factory has run out of 7 seats configuration, 2.00 TSI engines and DSG!! Any body else getting the same info or has my dealer sold my car to someone else?
Ordered 23rd February
Quartz grey Edition 2.00 TSI DSG with just about every extra.
My first post on this forum (sorry for my czenglish):
To all from NZ - your estimation stays on presumption that your K will be made in Czech republic, but they are also made in Ukraine and China...
When I ordered mine, here in Prague, more that 2 weeks ago, I was told that the most optimistic delivery time could be in March 2018. They even advised me to order a new Karoq instead of Kodiaq as the smaller car has still some empty production slots for czech dealers.
Hmmm.... I was under the distinct impression that only the Kvasiny factory in Czechia would be assembling the Kodiaqs. Perhaps your information is about the actual manufacturing of parts as this is most likely to be done all around the globe as you also imply.
Ouch... my information is indeed insufficient! Thanks for the enlightenment - I stand corrected!. Here in Denmark we have only heard (at least for my part) about the Kvasiny factory but it seems logical to expand to support delivery in different areas.
The VIN may not necessary show where the vehicle is built , it is common to show the head office rather than country of build , I have an IVECO van showing country of origin as Italy but was actually built in Spain according to the data plate under the bonnet . Wikipedia has good information showing this is common in Europe.

I spoke with the local NZ sales manager in June at an agricultural field day stand Skoda had. I mentioned the China and Ukraine factories and he stated that the NZ cars were from the Czech factory.
Ordered April 21 Ireland.
Most recent update was build week 36 but then that has now been removed and no idea again when build will happen.
Dealer suspects at this stage it will be well into October.
Got an official answer from skoda saying they had no update and no projected build week. So 4 months gone and still no idea of a build week. I'm expecting January at this rate. Maybe it will be gold plated..
Ordered 21 April
2.0tdi dsg ambition 7 seat Ireland
Had the very good news from my broker today that my Kodiaq has arrived at the UK port, well ahead of schedule, and will be with the dealer shortly. Originally expected delivery in October, so was asked the question .. " Are happy to receive it in September ? " ... Too bl**dy right !!
.
So from ordering 16th June it's been just over 9 weeks to arrive in the UK.
It's an absolute joke how Skoda are dealing with these orders ,some only waiting few wks for same model others taking 5+ months , I'm waiting over 4 so far have been told it will be 12th September but not one bit confident going on what others are been told
Dropped by my dealer in Dublin tonight : car ordered on 24/03 has been built and is waiting in Emden for shipping to Ireland. It will hopefully arrive Sept 4th ... fingers crossed
Can't wait as my friend who ordered 2 weeks before me picked his up yesterday and it looks great.
I contacted my Cork dealer a couple of days ago about the possibility of adding a retractable towbar. Latest status I had been given was delivery towards end of October. He responded after 24 hours saying it was too late to make any order changes unfortunately.
Any idea what that means regarding the build week/status?
Reading through this thread, I see a huge discrepancy in the wait times between placing an order and actual build. Anyone know why? I'm guessing it depends on part availability (perhaps engine configuration) ??
I placed my order last Friday and I was told the "estimated" build week would be 41. 7 weeks is not too bad seeing some of the wait times here. But I'm afraid that might change :? .
That might explain the relatively reasonable wait times here as Skoda is not very popular in Australia. Keeping my fingers crossed for a December delivery.
Broker tells me it's going ahead on BW36(next week). Hopefully that means an early to mid October delivery. Current car is going back to the leasing company in the middle of September so the less time I've got without a car the better.
