New car order delays

[hobbes22]

I've had the confirmation my car is being built next week, week 41. 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

Great news Neepy. Mine is still unconfirmed Week 46. I will have to contact VW to see if any update. Interesting to see how long between build and delivery now....
EDIT. Just contacted VW, and now unconfirmed for week 47. (but said may come forward)...

I ordered mine at the back end of August and i have confirmation the car is built and was being transported to the UK 2 weeks ago. Still awaiting WLTP approval though which i was told would be late November for the GTI performance. Here hoping i get it before christmas.

They can't transport a vehicle out of Emden without wltp approval so it's likely any vehicles built will all be sitting somewhere waiting to be shipped.

I sent VW an email on Monday of this week asking for a latest update for my order and their email response confirmed they are expecting to be WLTP compliant for the Golf GTI, middle to late November.

I don't think VW will ship prior to approval.
They're parking them up at the not yet in use Berlin airport and other storage facilities.

This is really quite annoying when I was told the Golf Gti had cleared WLTP now.

Now, good news  re WLTP for the Golf

Seems strange but over on the Tiguan forum, many have said they've received notification that their cars have been shipped over and this is before WLTP approval. Some of them are sat at their dealers but can't do anything because they can't be registered with the DVLA yet.

EDIT: https://www.tiguanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3460&start=1280 they're not lying either, some of them have been uploading photos. I think i'd stay away from the dealers if my car was there but i couldn't have it, would make me even more frustrated

At least its confirmed on the VW website that Golfs are now WLTP approved. https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/wltp

So you download the Golf brochure (4.10.18) and it still has the standard GTI on there yet they are not making them any more?! Is that just to cover stock built before 1st September that wasn't registered?
