        what have you ordered, as some you can track and some are just wait and see when it turns up.

          @Mrfunky When you placed your order, where you given an order number? If so it would have been on the order form you should have got a copy of. What car have you ordered?

          The order number confirms that your car is in the build process. As such, your can can be tracked through it’s build process. Your dealer would then be able to give you updates of your cars build progress.

          Some manufactures you can track the order yourself providing you have the build number. Hence the reason for asking what make of car have you ordered.

              Ring dealer,you need the order number from dealer to Seat,that is a different order number between dealer and Motability

                Dealers have slots,if they have no slots at the moment,they cannot order car,if you get the dealer to seat order great,if they cannot give it to you,then it may not be ordered,clock only starts ticking when order in at seat,not with motability

                If you are a new customer,you can get a new car from the dealers stock,so no waiting,good luck

                  Some you can track, some you can’t, but once it’s ordered the dealer will be getting on with selling other cars so most likely won’t be in touch until they hear when its due… some might call you every few weeks for an update?

                  If you’ve been told 13 weeks then nothing to do but wait for the next 12 then call  ?

                    Having just picked up a Seat Tarraco, you need to phone the dealer and ask, sometimes, demand the 8 digit SLI/order number.  Once you have this it confirms that the order is with the factory. You can then contact Seat customer services for updates. You can either call, use twitter, or like I did, use their Facebook page.

                    Hope that helps.

                      Keep in touch yourself,even Motability tell you to do this, ring, get order number and ring seat customer services, they will tell you what stage your build is at, dealers need to be put under this pressure,if you don’t someone else will and you get no regular call, ring dealer regular,you are the customer in the end.

                          Did they give you a build week?

                              Phone round some dealers and ask if they have any in compounds. I was offered a Seat Leon hatchback in a week by a dealer. Not sure if it will be the same with the estate.

                                  Next time you speak to them, ask them for the build week.  This will tell you when your car will start production. Normally after production it’ll take around 5 weeks to get from the factory to the dealers.

                                  Hope you get some good news soon.

                                      Hi. If you have the order manufactures order number from your dealer. You can use this to get build updates. Go to the BMW configuration web page and look for the BMW Genius chat box. So long as you have your build number, they can tell you where your car is in the build progress.

                                      Alternatively, ask your dealer.

                                        Hi,  I ordered my new Leon St on 4th February 2021 and am still waiting.  The chip shortage has hit the Leon.  I have now been waiting 14 weeks and still do not have a build date.  I have contacted my dealer many times and have been told that they cannot give any clear or accurate timescale.  Looking through the internet, it’s quite clear now there will be a long wait for a Leon.

                                        I’ll let you know when i get any updates.

                                          Hi Paul have you spoken to seat here by messenger on Facebook? I ordered a Leon St mid march and was told 13 weeks heard nothing from dealer but last week was told its going for build week 23 subject to change, maybe ask there if you not already…… Its heartbreaking having to wait so long, will update later see if its changed

                                            Just an update they now told me it’s scheduled build week 21 so my guess is just wait and see, couldn’t tell me if there’s any delays

                                              Update, I contacted SEAT through Facebook and have a build date of week 22.

                                                That’s good news that you found something out, just a matter of a too long wait now and hoping that it’s not delayed any longer. I ordered mine 22 March and was told week 23 then week 21 but reading they are back in production from late April
