GTI Build Dates - Anyone got one yet?

05:25 you see them wheel it in

Well, I reckon I can definitely confirm that orders are being delayed due to something on the spec sheet. I changed my car from five door to three and from pure white to Oryx and was initially given another order number. They then spec amended the original order. Well, now the last order placed has a confirmed build week and the original order is still unconfirmed, ie my order! Genius. So draw whatever conclusions you want from that. I assume its the paint.

I conclude VW are incompetent assholes who know less about customer service than soviet Russia.  M135i is now my default option and VW basically are going to have to win my back because I've had it with their sh!t.

So if you haven't already, put your money where your mouth is, cancel the GTI and go buy the BMW!  Otherwise you are just going to be playing these games that piss you off even longer.  I completely understand your frustration mate, I really do, but VW aren't going to magically rearrange their build schedule for you, or give you huge discounts like BMW.

From a personal view I don't think the camera is delaying orders anymore as I have one specced on my GTI.  Also I suspect the Oryx White paint Lagerlout specced on his car got a confirmed build week as it may be batched to spray around the same time as my car.  What Build Week do you have Lagerlout?  I have Build Week 36. I suspect the order was confirmed as there are not many Oryx White cars on order and they want to batch them together.

I popped in last weekend to the dealer and was told that the pano roof was now delaying orders.

Lack of steering wheels and pedals will be next.

[AlanH]

Lack of air for the tyres?

My build week 33 is now in transit

My build week 33 is now in transit

Good to know - seems that BW33ers may not be suffering any delays. Tried to check mine today - tracker hasn't updated and VW UK can't check it for me right now. Did you get tracker confirmation or did VW UK tell you it was in transit?
