That's surprising as mine was originally week 42 and moved to confirmed week 36. I'm sure you ordered before me too.
Ordered: CS45, Pearl White, DCC, Harmon Kardon, Front Winter Seats

More problems with vw... Just in case anyone wanted an order update, we're having to wait on that too, just got this from thier online help:

"We would love to help with an order update however we're unable to provide this at the moment as our tracker is showing incorrect order information. Factory and IT are currently resolving this. Please check in with us next week."

I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for an accurate order update from the dealership for my standard CS. This must be the reason why they just can’t give me an answer. Build week was meant to be 35 and delivery on the first week of November but they have no idea where my car is.

So i ordered June was told bw 36 and that has passed. I did speak to my dealer last week who I’m was extremely helpful. He said the order is confirmed with the factory and the car will be made, however what they are finding now is that they wont be told anymore until the car is ready for delivery to the UK or later when its arrived at the ports. He said its the same with everything they are ordering in fact he further added performance golf’s now if you order it’s likely to be a 12 month delivery time. I think we all must understand these are weird times we are in. FYI that ex press 45 which was sold at auction in the posts we had recently was being sold by VW Robinsons in Norwich for £47K plus and has now gone! Demand is there for sure.

This makes sense. I work for a company who brings products in to the U.K. from Europe, our supplier ships them to us and give us a delivery date and it’s usually bang on time but what’s happening now (for the last 2 weeks) is usually on the day we’re expecting delivery our supplier phones us to say it’s not coming and they’re not sure when it’s going to be with us.

We’re being told the problem is getting the containers picked up at our ports. They have no problems getting it to the boats in Europe but getting it off at our side due to the HGV driver shortage is a nightmare. Sounds like VW have a similar problem which is making it impossible to tell dealers/customers when their car is going to be delivered.

I was told by my dealer that my Golf R Mk8 had commenced build on Week 36.  But build is still not complete yet.  I was told bacause I had a lot of options on it, the cause of delay might be the chip shortages for specific options I have configured.  My dealer is unsure when the car will be finished and shipped?  They have also told me that the lead times for orders placed for Performance Golfs has been extended from what it was and any orders placed a few months ago are being estimated for delivery next year now.  So watch this space I guess....  But the real bummer is I now have to spend out cash on a Service as I had carefully timed to order/delivery time (several months) well before I needed a Service, but now the Service is due and there is no sign of my new car.  May have to call my dealer to see if I have to service the car on this occasion with the current situation of my order?
