Even the MD of VAG is waiting for his GTI :rolleyes:


Lets hope VW Customer Care treat him better than they have done with us.

Considering your dealer sold you a lie and told you that your car was on a ship on its way here at the end of October, I would take anything they say with a pinch of salt.

But hey ho I hope they're right it's just that this whole farce has turned me into a pessimist, especially when it comes to VW.

Guys, I also had the same update coming from my dealer regarding Golf GTI PP from prod. week 45. I also got a confirmation that they have been registering Golfs here in Poland since early November from WLTP certified production. They are still claiming mine (45th prod. week) is already WLTP approved and will be avaibale for delivery late nov/early dec

As this refers to Polish market with left hand drive it may be still a different ball-game for UK market cars as they need a separate homologation for every single spec.

Well it's Thursday, the day of certification for my Gti.Guess what my dealers system is down since 12, so no new info. Coincidence? I think it stinks . Not impressed at all.

In all honestly, I don’t think the dealers or VW UK have any idea when it will get approved. Only people with any sort of idea is the factory in Wolfsburg who will be doing the testing
