Current Lead times
« on: 30 July 2018, 15:16 »
Hi

I've searched the forum but there is nothing recent about GTI lead times (time from ordering to delivery).

What does it look like at the moment?

Isn't the factory either on shutdown or on short week due to WLTP testing.

GTI manual and DSG are officially 17 weeks minimum suggested delivery but dealers with no allocation will add 4 weeks or so to that just in case they can’t place the order till the month later.

Hi All, new poster here and so apologies in advance should i not be up to speed with all but, i couldn't help but notice the comments relating to delivery times.  I was looking forward to visiting my local VW showroom tomorrow for a Golf GTI Performance but alarm bells are now ringing if a realistic delivery date cant be confirmed.

Think on 20 weeks and if it comes any earlier then you'll be very happy  :smiley:

^^^this!

Assuming of course your wait doesn't include German factory shut down and retooling or while VW sort out models and spec vs WLTP....

Normally 20 weeks worst case is what to bank on.

Sound like a long time to you? Seems like a lifetime!
