Clubsport order thread
« on: 29 June 2021, 08:25 »
Hi,

I'm interested in how other people are getting on with their clubsport orders. To be quite honest i'm having a nightmare with mine. I ordered on 01/02 and was told i would have the car late May/early June. My unconfirmed build week has gone from 33,31,40,44,30 and as of yestersday build week 46! :angry:

At this point i feel like the car will never arrive.

My spec is:
Pure white
Rear view camera
19" Adelaides

Ordered - Golf GTI Clubsport. 19” Adelaide alloys, Rear view camera, Pure White.

I’m at stage 2 with no build week allocated yet

Moonstone Grey
Adelaides
Reverse Camera
Winter Pack
DCC

Was originally told end of September for delivery but now would be lucky if it arrives this year

As far as I know, production is held up as part of the global chip shortage issue. Chip is used in the DSG gearbox and also the HK option if you spec that

Currently: MK8 GTI Clubsport - DCC - Reflex Silver - Adelaide 19"s - Rear Camera

Previous: 3x MK7.5 GTI Performance Pack

I get the feeling that they won't be making any more for the UK until after the summer holiday... sometime in August...

I haven't seen Evo post about what the MY22 changes are yet either.

I dare say that there’ll be computer chips used elsewhere within the car too - e.g. infotainment unit, the ECU etc. - and that would pretty much affect production of all manufacturers’ cars.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Yup I think your right, there must be quite a few in each car. I’ll try to find the article but it specifically mentioned the DSG box in the Clubsport and the HK option, maybe they use a specific chip or something similar.

Ordered in Feb with an expectation of July delivery, now been told I have a build week of 40 but I don't think that's confirmed. I've now sold my 7.5 GTi as I was offered silly money for it from the dealer. I thought it was bad when I ordered my R years ago, waited 6 months for that but it's looking like the CS will be November time.  :undecided:

Ordered:
Moonstone Grey
Black Estorils
Winter pack.

No DCC for me as never had it on my R or GTi and just don't miss it.

Sounds like we're in a similar situation. Looks like we'll miss the Summer this year!

BMW have restrictions on their HK units at the moment for sure. If you assume HK make the units, it will impact VW too...

There is a massive problem with automative chip supply and its largely down to how they treat their suppliers...funnily enough they get knocked back when demand is high and supplies are short because of it.

I was happy to wait until the end of this year to be honest as I didn't need a new car, pcp deal wasn't running out yet, however now being without a car because of VW throwing money at me it would be good to get a build date seeing as I've been waiting 6 months for one!
