Lead times
« on: 15 January 2018, 22:53 »
Hello all

Newbie here with a GTi PP on order, returning to the fold after a few years away having previously owned a Mk V GTi.

My order has been sitting at stage 2 now for about 4 weeks.  Is this usual?  How long should I expect to wait before getting a build date?

Total time from order to delivery is normally 16-20 weeks.

Working back from that then, assuming 16 weeks, probably about 8 or 9 weeks before build date is confirmed, which is four weeks before the actual build date.

It does all depend on component availability and all sorts though.

You could always try the live chat feature on the VW website as they often have access to more up to date info on build times.
