When given an unconfirmed factory build week of 38 / w/c 17th Sept (as I now have) is it likely that the Cupra engine delay of 10 weeks (as was given on top of the 12-14 week for a 5dr Leon before the books closed) will apply or is this still the unknown quantity at the moment? If one assumes a 4 week transit from build to dealer, this means it would currently be a 13 week lead time from 30th July.

Hi Scrogg,
I ordered my Cupra ST back at the beginning of April and still don't have a build date?
Any ideas when I could see the car being handed over?
Approximately three weeks from factory to dealership is about right, yes.
From reading past posts asking a similar question I would suggest no. Alteration would be classed as cancelling and a new order placed which puts you back of the queue. Correct me if I am wrong @Scrogg
Put simply, no.
Confirmed orders can't be amended, so your only options are to stick with what you already have, or cancel and place a new order for a CUPRA Lux.
Ordering for MY19 opens in October, so whatever offers are available in Q4 would apply and your lead time would reset to (currently) 10-12 weeks from then.
I can definitely confirm that if you are ordering through VWFS via PCH that this is the case.
Anytime I've requested option changes to either my dealership or Fleet/VWFS. I have been warned that they would need to cancel my order and submit another. This impacted lead time.
I've been through this twice so far.
Can't say for PCP though, it seems more flexible.
In your case though you are asking to change to a different model not just change a few options.
I too am interested in Scroggs response

I went to another dealer today and got some clarity that I won’t see the car until January/February so I’ve found a rather nice hatchback (used) so I’m cancelling first thing tomorrow, very sadI can beat that.. ordered my Cupra ST 4drive on 28 feb and still no build date..
How come mine will be a my19 and be built in September before the ordering opens in October?
My Seat dealer has told me numerous times that i would be able to change the order to a lux but after speaking to you guys this doesn’t seem to be the case
MY19 production starts after the August factory shutdown, but due to the high number of MY18 orders that were not built SEAT are using the initial production capacity to clear them.
You can. In October. You'll have a different order number, and the car you already have on order will still be built, and you'll have to wait until early 2019, but you can...
(Although to be fair to your dealer we were originally told MY19 ordering opened in August, so until very recently they were less wrong!)
Will there be any differences between the cars built in september/october and the ones built from november? If the official orders take place from october, and it's been told that the final specifications of the Ateca's my19 are being made public in late september... maybe they're a bit different ... is it possible??
Literally thousands of people...
1. SEAT
2. Every SEAT dealership (although some seem to pretend not to)
3. Lots of people on here
Usually Barcelona to the UK is 2-3 weeks, then another 7-10 days from UK Port to the dealership.
However, some models are being held at the factory pending technical data being released. What have you ordered?
