Golf mk8 / Re: Have you ordered an 8.5 ?
« Last post by NewtoGolfs24 on 10 September 2024, 11:31 »
I’ve been given a date of 28th Nov - pretty much 12 weeks from ordering.  And that’s for a standard model that was already at stage 10.  Hoping it will be sooner.  Will be good to hear if others are coming sooner than expected.

What colour did you manage to get ordered?

So is that 3 months from order to expected delivery now  Carlos?

That really would be quick for a car with options and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Golf mk7 / Auto door locking
« Last post by CarbonGTD on 10 September 2024, 10:35 »
I have the door locks set to lock at (around 10mph?) when pulling away (I have a 2020 Mk 7.5 GTI PP).  This has worked faultlessly until recently - now it is working as it should around 80% of the time - the rest of the time the locks sound in the usual way but the red glow lamp for the door locks (on driver's door) doesn't illuminate, and as I'm driving along the locks are 'activating' themselves on and off at random.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Does it sound like a possible water ingress issue impacting he electrics do you think?

When did date people order? And what bw and delivery date have you been given?

I placed a fresh factory order on 10th August, it is now at status 20 with a confirmed build week of wk39 (23rd September ).

Ordered 27/08 and told Jan

I was initially told delivery would be approximately 20 weeks, which would be late December/early January, mine has so far progressed much faster than the dealer or myself expected, as long as there are no issues🤞 and it doesn’t get pushed back that is! Delivery to the uk is usually around 4 weeks after build, so I am hoping that I will receive the car late October or early November.

Hi. Ordered last week a pure white with black roof, DCC, Queenstown, HK, area view, panroof and a spare wheel. Paying luxury car tax of course, but got a sensible deal on the price and am trading in my 7.5 which I’ve had from new for 6 years. Looking forward to it, albeit I’ve not idea when it will arrive!!

I ordered 26th Aug was advised should have within 2 weeks, its still at the port awaiting transport

I ordered  27th too and have been told January 🤦🏼‍♂️

Why the lead time on some customer’s cars is longer than others has always been a bit of a mystery. Spec can have an impact - highly spec’d cars may take longer as more parts / components may be required for the build. This increases the dependency on VW’s suppliers; if a supplier can’t deliver certain parts for specific builds, then that could cause build delays.

Also historically, dealers have been known to accept more customer orders than the number of build slots they’ve been allocated by VW in a given period. If this happens, assuming VW still use the same - or similar - system of build slot allocation, those excess orders won’t be progressed until VW issue a new allocation for the next build period (hope that makes sense!).

Bought to replace a minor damaged section on my previous TCR.

The splitter kit comes in 6 sections and is the lower front drivers side section, perfect if anyone's had a low kerb moment.

Cars and parts for sale / Sold subject to collection - 18" Belvedere alloys
« Last post by Walts on 09 September 2024, 22:22 »
* Genuine Belvedere alloys for sale £1300 *

With a heavy heart the TCR has gone into the trade. As it went on its second set of alloys the others are now surplus to requirements.

I have a full set of genuine light weight 18" Belvedere alloys for sale.  These were removed from the car with around 12,000/ 14,000miles on. 
To my knowledge and supported by the wheel weights these have never seen a tyre fitter for repair or replacement, more importantly no refurbs.
The alloys are in genuine good/ excellent condition.  The odd Age and cleaning related mark but nothing to detract from the condition and use.
Two of the centre caps show a little sign of age but again nothing major.
Matching tyres all round, I would estimate one axel has 3mm and the other 4mm but could be more.

Having looked online I think I've priced these well but happy to listen to masses if not.

In an ideal world these would be collected from my home address in East Yorkshire but happy to help with logistics within in reason if I can.

Thanks for any interest.

Cars and parts for sale / For sale - Mk7.5 stereo surround including vents

Bought due minor marks on the gloss black surround of my car but never installed.
The cars now sold and so this is available for sale at a good saving over new.
Will fit the mk7.5 8" screen surround or help with the retrofit upgrade on the mk7.
