2023 Build Weeks

[Beclou]

Hi I’m new to the forum.
I currently have a 2020 GTD but have a GTI on order, the dealer I use is normally bang on with dates and updating me, I’ve just been told my cars due to built on on week 9 if I can remember rightly.
Does anyone know if there any delays?
I had a T-Roc R on order and that was delayed that much I cancelled my order and went for the GTI after hearing about the long delays on a club sport 🥺🥺

Welcome to the forum @Beclou.

I read on another forum recently (sorry, can’t remember which one) that the Wolfsburg factory is running around 11 weeks behind, so if build week 9 was a confirmed build week, it’s possible your car may not be built until week 20, unless your week 9 already takes the 11 week delay into account.

Hopefully the factory will start catching up lost ground so if the 11 weeks is factual, it’ll become less than 11 weeks.

Just been told by numerous dealers today that VW are not taking orders on certain models at present due to severe backlog.  Originally today I was enquiring about either a golf 8 R estate or Tiguan R.   To cut a long story short window shopping ended up turning in to me buying an almost fully loaded new Tiguan R in deep pearl black from stock at a good discounted price and i have only lost £2000 depreciation on my current car from new when i trade it in... So although originally was looking at factory order of oryx white tiguan or blue golf estate, due to situation with factory orders at present i ended up getting a black tiguan R... now i had better tell my wife what i have done

I’ve gained £4000 profit in my current GTD but it has very low miles, it’s a 70 plate and only done 20,000.
I have asked my rep to keep an eye out for any cancelled orders of either any kind of R or a club sport but I can’t see that happening.
They have confirmed I should take delivery in March so hopefully the lead time given has taken into consideration the back logs.
I hope there are no delays, I was gutted when I cancelled my Roc R as I’d fully loaded her up but I’m kind of glad now hearing that the face lift model still came with plastic mk1 rear door cards and pretty much the same interior and entertainment system as the first T-Rocs.
I’m looking to try and source a club sport looking front splitter, spoiler rear diffuser and side skirts if anyone in the U.K. has any other links than AudoID?
Thanks

@Beclou there is someone with an R20 on order on the R forum and they are taking an RS3 instead I believe so they are prepared to hand over their build slot/order, it's Lapiz with DCC, maybe it's of use to you.

So I’ve just been told my car was confirmed for build week 6 and we’re now on 8 🤯
I really hope there isn’t much more of a delay 🙃
