Maybe i'll chase them up again soon then, yeah mines through Hatfield also, what makes it worse is someone made me an offer on my Leon 3 weeks ago so no longer even have a car

Mid July? i ordered through them 2nd May and all i have got from them is that my car is stuck in build since build week 39 in late September, would love to know how orders placed months after get delivered so quickly haha, i did go for DSG box so not sure if that's why.

This is just speculation, but I think they might be finishing the 2023 MY ordered in June/July before the 2022 MY ordered in April/May. Might be because they need a specific part for the 2022 which is holding it up in the production line. They switched model years on builds starting from June so it's possible you had a May BW.

My Formentor that I ordered in April is a 2022 MY and hasn't been delivered yet, while someone I know who ordered in June has a 2023 MY and got his a few weeks ago. Both with similar specs (both DSG).

Usually they’ll finish MY22 and change to 23 otherwise they’d have a mixture of parts feeding into the production lines which would be a nightmare to control. (That’s what happens at Nissan where I work).

At least for my MY22 Formentor, that's not the case as it just left the production line 2 weeks ago, and people have been receiving their MY23 Formentor's for the past few months.

I have a feeling when you finally get it you’ll find it’s actually a MY23

Unfortunately the VIN is VSSZZZKMZNR0819XX, with the N indicating it's a MY22.

Well after seeing this i decided on Friday to ring to get an update and now finally been told its being shipped and now finished production so should expect it in January, i guess its a MY23 as the BW was 39 in September, only difference i believe it the black headliner and 12 inch screen instead of 10". They think it maybe due to the blue leather interior chosen but who knows

Just had call from dealer my formentor Vz2 310 ps landed on home soil yesterday reckons end of the month. Ordered 06/06/22

Hi guys, so I ordered my 1.5 v2 cupda formentor last year in end of the month in august 2022. Then I received my build date week 41 October 10th 2022. Then this month I got my email to say it’s finally in transit. Can anyone tell me what ships cupra commonly use? I have checked united spirit but looks like that’s heading to Italy

 

[Tmat]

Hi. Mine came on Nordic Ace. The boat went from UK to Italy to Spain and back to the UK so this is probably correct on what you saw about United Spirit.

I ordered on 12 August 2022 and it arrived in the UK during the 1st week of Jan 2023. I collected it on the 21st

Thanks for this. I ordered mine 26th august, but I did see United spirit will be in Italy 30th so hopefully it’ll mean next 2 weeks it’ll be here in uk

No worries, I'm sure you can't wait now. Be sure to read the forums regarding what others have experienced since owning their Formentors...it helped me a lot especially regarding the Cupra Connect App and brake noise.

 

[Rodders97]

Yeah I have been reading forums for last 6Months really. What have you done about brake noises?

 

[Tmat]

I was getting a very loud wooo noise when braking at low speeds and when I called the dealership they called it vibrating although I couldn't feel any vibration. They said since the brakes are new they probably need some hard braking. Yesterday I was tapping the brake pedal in slow moving traffic and that seemed to slow it down further then press the brake again if the car in front came to a stop...got no noise doing it that way. When it was making the noise it seemed like there was some resistance to me braking so I figured I'd change how I was braking.

 

[Tmat]

I had hard braked about 3 times when I drove it around for the first time with the sales guy when my left and right feet pressed the clutch (that was my first time driving an automatic) so surely it didn't need any more hard braking like they said it did.

So interestingly i have finally been given my Reg, and vin number with it being delivered for next friday 3rd! after 10months of waiting its nearly over. checking the vin however i have noticed that although my build week was 39 (sep) my chassis number indicates it was built this year (P) so thinking the build week given to me was a load of rubbish ?

The ‘P’ identifier in the VIN relates to a vehicle’s model year rather than build year. A car built in week 39 2022 would be a 2023 model year car.

Thank you, just spotted that it refers to model year rather than year built, cheers.

 

[Rodders97]

Can I have example of what you guys mean on vin? I have received mine on Monday and confused if it’s 23 as it was built week 41 2022
