Seen quite a few people on the golf mk8 page on Facebook saying they’ve been told vw have paused the production of the mk8 because of all the faults and the number it rejected cars they’re getting

My odyssey to Listers Evesham begins and 80% of the trains at Newcastle Station are cancelled. Seems everything going towards London past York is funked. Luckily for me, my Newcastle to Birmingham and Birmingham to Worcester trains are OK. My Worcester to Evesham train is cancelled, but a 35 min bus trip can replace that. So glad I don't commute on the train!
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Hi Folks, I ordered my MK8 Club Sport in Moonstone in the middle of July 2021. Arval keep sending me notices, which currently predict delivery June 2023. What is going on? I've since opted into the Company car scheme at work and have a full loaded Formentor Hybrid, but I'd still like my Club Sport. Any advice?

Hi MRW - check out the clubsport order thread for latest on lead times. Running average appears to be 2 years from order date.

Not official but generally accepted view is Clubsport 45 builds/orders were prioritized over normal Clubsports as soon as it was announced (irrespective of order date), that pushed normal clubsports back.

also speculation that more recent or dealer orders may be then bumping older orders further back due to the prices locked in for those 2021 orders. No firm evidence to support that though, and more likely it just seems that way to the large level of backlog that exists and so many be so delayed.
Ordered Apr-21 Arrived Mar-23: MK8 GTI Clubsport, Dolphin, Estorils plus other options

Best estimate would be 12-18 months

They are also taking upto 12 weeks from confirmed build week to leave the factory…..

Ordered a moonstone Grey clubsport October 2021, still no date of build week. Any update or advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Reading the thread sounds like the norm.
