JoeGTI: If you already have colour MFD standard on a MY13 model then unless VW feel they've been a bit stingy with the Irish you probably wouldn't get anything more on a MY14 car by waiting.

Oh I don't want to be waiting. The sooner it gets here the better!
Only pain is, the registration system has been changed here this year to be a bit like you guys. On July 1st, the plates change for 2nd half of the calendar year. I don't think I'd have the patience to ask the dealer to hold onto it on their forecourt for a month!

Question, my GTi will be build in Kw20.

Model year 2014 starts in Kw22, does that mean that i get a model year 2013 or will the start with 2014 models right away?

Interesting. I'm build week 20 too. Adds evidence that they are indeed building "euro zone" models ahead of the UK batch... Even though I'm also RHD?!
When did you order?

To answer your question, you'll get the 2013 model. I was the same when I got my mk6 GTD. I missed out on the new MY build by a week.

I'm from the Netherlands, order date is 19 March.
The MY2014 is about 500 euro higher in the Netherlands then mine order from 19-3.

No point saying you had an email of you're not going to tell everyone what it said.

When I placed my order I was told wk23, but now last week was told week 35!! WTF!  Jump of 12 weeks meaning I won't see it until September!! anyone else in the uk and had similar? I know dealers get an allotment but I was told I was the first order for my dealer on the 29th march! Very annoyed.. Deler said he'd call VW uk and check, but not heard back and website still says processing order! Fingers crossed!

True... won't copy and paste the email as I don't think it should have been forwarded to me in the first place.

Key points tho:

1. No MK7 GTI has a valid build date at present, though dates may have been assigned
2. The issue is with the order processing system, not the build system as first thought
3. This issue is being resolved as quickly as possible, may take hours or days, then subject to testing
4. Orders to be processed by order date / number
5. No delays at present based on factory options

Whilst no promises were made, they said my expected delivery date is 01/07..  which I'm really hoping for :)

This is the first bit of promising news we've heard for ages. Thanks for sharing, hopefully the issues they've had are being ironed out & stories of a 12 week build week addition are VW just covering themselves for worst case scenario. A July delivery is certainly worth hoping for!

I was originally told that all orders were parked at BW22 as no actual build weeks had been issued yet, i then added the performance pack and it went to BW44!!!  :o  My dealer then told me he'd been on to VW who said don't worry it wouldn't be that late and pretty much as above.

Thanks for the update GtG... It's good to know that the hold up isn't anything "major"!
