When I spoke with VW live chat yesterday they said they expect the WLTP certification to be issued in week 50......

Might wanna check again and see what they say because they told me it’s just been approved

You can talk to different people at VW UK and get a different answer from all of them so you can't believe anything that's said unfortunately.

Just seen over on the Tiguan forum that many people have been told/received notification that their Tiguans are either currently in transit to the UK/have arrived at UK ports/sat at the dealers. Seems like its come as a bit of a shock to a lot of them as its literally happened over night, looks like they'll be getting the WLTP certificates soon so the cars can be released. Hopefully Golfs next  :whistle: Worth noting Tiguan isn't listed on the VW website as WLTP approved

I spoke to VW yesterday via online chat, My car is still sat at unconfirmed for build week 46; even though my dealer said it was confirmed. VW rep also told me that as WLTP has now been approved for the GTI PP, that i should contact them again in a few days, as they should have further info....

Hopefully things are starting to move along. Happy for the new Tiguan owners though.  :wink:

I'm still unconfirmed week 41 which is less than 2 weeks away, they say you should get confirmation 2-4 weeks before it gets built so looks like it will be pushed back.

Possibly, email said: that's your golf now built and sitting at the port in Germany awaiting shipment to the UK, hopefully it will get shipped soon. Ends: at least it's getting somewhere now....it has been some wait. As said the Audi went to the garage and they have given me a 67 plate golf estate to bomb about in.

I should be exploring the infotainment system, buttons on the steering wheel etc...i need glasses for reading so i cant make out what they are, bit of a blur! did have a 14 plate gtd and only used the adaptive cruise control once. TBH because it was a good summer i was only interested in the sunroof and because the Oettinger spoiler mimics my Quattro one i'll be happy! golhappy  :smiley:

I've had the confirmation my car is being built next week, week 41. :smiley: Nothing has changed on the app and it's still down as with the factory but my dealer and VW online chat have both confirmed it. Be great if it gets WLTP certification between now and it landing at the dealers
