WLTP Certificate for GTI 245
« on: 01 November 2018, 14:53 »
This has been touched upon in several recent topics but I am writing a new topic specifically on this because it’s, well......very topical!
My dealer cannot give me any update on the position for new GTIs as at end of Oct.
New cars cannot be released without WLTP compliance.
Anyone out there got greater insight/expectation re the situation?

So near and yet......

No new GTIs registered after 1 Sept and here we are at 1 Nov with how much longer to go?

It’s slightly surreal.

And in Sept 19, testing for new cars will be applied on the forthcoming RDE emissions basis.

All good fun I imagine, especially for manufacturers performance models.

The written response i received back from VWUK confirmed certification for for Golf GTI 245 would be in place during 1st week December 2018. I have just parted with my Audi A6 in readiness for the new GTI so i hope all goes well with the December date allowing me

Thanks, that’s interesting.
Dealer has told me he thinks I will be build week 48 and so maybe Jan delivery.
I might not have lost any time due to WLTP in that case.

My Gti pp is not on a ship but on the docks, awaiting a number from the dvla? Dealer is of the opinion that l.ll have my car end of Nov? But if the earlier post is true, l won.t hold my breath

I got a phone call today from VWUK after I sent an email, they gave me no information other than they’ll get someone to look into it and phone me back on Monday afternoon. They mentioned that the dealer has more up to date information than them but they’ll see if they know anymore on their side.

Mines been banked in Germany for 3 weeks.

So the picture I’m getting from this thread is no new GTI first registrations will exist between 15 Aug and early December 2018.

That really is unprecedented.
