2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

[AGB]

Very pleased with it, am up to about 80 miles now. Will get chance to take it out in the morning but then got a mates 40th bbq and on Sunday am at really retro show with the Mk2. Then work and and away for a few days, going to have to wait to get some miles on it.

Quality of mVS detail is great, I’ve never used a detailer before though. Can’t fault the service of Joe at TL Darby or Ian the detailer. It’s only the 2nd time I’ve bought a new car, 1st being the Up Gti last year from inchcape Cheltenham. There was nothing bad about their service as such, delay was VW but had to keep chasing for any updates, whereas Joe has always been first with the contact and is a VW fan too.

Paid a quick visit to Caffeine and Machine, wonder if I was the first TCR? No prize 🤣

Both my wife and I purchased our Gti's from Joe at TL Darby also our daughters UP Gti.  We will be heading down to Caffeine and Machine soon in the up Gti. Is it as good as they say??

Didn't you test drive it? 

Yes we had the TCR for the day to test it. very nice it was to.  Is a visit to Caffeine and Machine worth it?

Sorry, I was making a bad joke, pretending that I thought your question "Is is as good as they say?" was referring to the Up! GTI.

It was a terrible joke. We need a tumbleweed gif right now...

What build week has everyone got? I ordered mine in early June and just had the notification for stage 3, stage 2 was unconfirmed at week 33 so it’s moved up.

Got the same update Saturday with same expected build week.

When did you place your order? Mine has gone awfully quick from stage 2 to 3 considering how king it usually takes.

Are the stages as per the VW online that you access or info from dealer? There’s a massive lag between the two, dealer had the info sometimes weeks ahead of an update on the VW tracker

The dealer updates have been on the same day. I am just surprised it went from with the factory to confirmed build week in only one week.

Just had build week 33 confirmed which means it should land on these shores mid September, though my lease does not complete till mid October - Imagine that makes mine a MY20 though nothing definitive out there to what that actually will be yet.
