Build Time

[davidj241]

Does anyone have any idea of how long it actually take to build a new Superb? Tia

If you mean putting all the parts together then I thought it was about two days maybe three.

But a lot of the components will arrive at the assembly line already built, i.e. the front end complete with lights etc.

That's one hell of a Hornet's nest your kicking there.......

 

Joking aside, I'd also go with a few days from start to finish. 

 

Lots of the sub assemblies like doors, dashboards and drivetrain are built simultaneously or beforehand on parallel lines. 

 

Delivery times and build weeks? There's that Hornet's nest again......

Thanks for your replies, I thought maybe about a week from start to finish, but had forgotten about pre-assembled sub assemblies.

There are indeed some mk2 videos (including a rather long one!). That said, there is a video of the S3 production that you can watch, though it's "only" five minutes long. It's still interesting though and even features a magnetic brown car. You can see it on YouTube here.

That link is S2

You're right, it's the facelift. Sorry, I shouldn't post tired.    I just saw the badge when I flicked through... As my S2 was pre-facelift, new badge = S3 in my brain. Doh.
