BW46 - 10.11.13

Any UK people still waiting for their BW46 car?

I was BW45 but found out I had been delayed until BW46.

Now coming into the 4th week and my car has still not even made it to final stage of the build yet.

Not so much annoyed at the delay... its the clear lack of information and different answers I am being given by VW UK.

- Your car has been built we are just waiting for it to go through quality control
- Your car has been delayed going through quality control
- Your car hasn't finished being built yet as we are waiting for parts that are on back order
- There has been a production problem with your car
- I am unable to say what has happened with your order as VW in Germany do not supply us with that amount of information. I can only advise you to call back next week.....AGAIN.

It is safe to say the excitement of getting my first ever new car has faded.

Don't worry folks, the wait is worth it... the GTi is....

LoL... Hope you are right. Just hope mine doesn't end up being a Friday afternoon lemon.

VW really do know how to keep you waiting.

Just a quick update, my dealer has swap my Blue iPod MDI cable for a new Red one, they ordered it in.
Excellent service... incredible.... amazing...... wicked.... awesome!.....
Not one issue to date.... faultless.

That bit I would definately believe!

My car landed to my country    I'll be a happy owner after the 2014 coming though, as it's much pricier if I do now because I should pay the 2013 taxes in full   Oh, 2-3 weeks remain....

Got a nice surprise today... Car has finally left the factory after 5 weeks at build step 7 and should hopefully be on route to the boat 

I'm sure this has been asked by loads of other people on here but has anyone got a rough idea how long it took their car from being in transport to getting the first drive home from the dealership?

Hoping the weather won't be too bad driving the car to Liverpool for the boat home to Northern Ireland.

Its hard to say given the christmas holidays etc.
I would say you will be able to have a better idea of delivery time once its actually on a ship.
My car was sat at Emden port for a few days and missed 1/2 ships.
It then takes a day or so for the ship to travel and dock in the UK, then upto 7 days to get to your dealership via a transporter truck 
The wait will be well worth it folks, the GTi has far exceeded my expectations, even getting decent mpg considering its not even run in yet.
I am getting 40-43mpg on my regular commutes to the office

Appreciate it 2014 

Hopefully there won't be any more delays and it arrives in the mid to end of January.

Sounds like it will be worth the extra wait anyway which is good
