Ordered my 5 door Golf GTD from Inch Stirling yesterday. Was told that it will be around 4 -5 months for delivery. Long time but cant wait to get it.
Went for the following extras.
Carbon Grey Metallic Paint
Keyless Entry
Rear View Camera
-
Welcome and great colour choice!
I thought they were taking a little less time to build these days....
-
Wow, 5 months! Such crazy lead times on these cars - think mine took 12 weeks last year.
-
I think mine was something like 4 months beginning of last year.
Seems about normal from what I've read on here, unless you get lucky and are able to get something that is in the build process that someone else has cancelled the order for, or maybe something a dealer has ordered as stock - but it does depend on matching your colour/spec to one already on the system.
-
4-5 months is still shorter than the 6 months i had to wait for mine :angry:
-
Ahhh, you've got ages to wait there, plenty of time to alter your spec.
Go for the Sport and Sound pack to get some nice red callipers to work against the grey paint then add Park Assist as it's cheap and huge fun!
-
Yeah! Sport and Sound FTW! Even if you are as old as me, you can/should still be a hooligan at the weekends :D
-
I was tempted with the sport and sound pack. Definitely won't be getting the park assist I just don't trust it.
Is the sport and sound just 2 speakers and red calipers?
I am still waiting on an order number so I can track the build stage as the personal lease guy wasn't in yesterday, was told I should have this by Monday.
There were only 40 5 door GTD's in the UK when he checked the system and they all had stupidly high spec including heated leather seats and the £1700 sat nav.
Would love if the car came quicker had a 24 test drive in a 3 door last week and it's far better than my BMW 318d m sport. Think the fuel consumption will be around the same though 44mpg

What do you mean you don't trust the park assist?? It works perfectly every time and gets you out of spaces too.

It's probably like not trusting ACC to brake for you, until that first time it brakes for you when you were slow to react. I'm sure you'd have to use it a few times to trust it.

Hi, sounds good.
I ordered my GTI on Wednesday and am currently waiting for my order number to track it. I was told around the 16 week mark which isn't ideal but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
In the mean time just have to look at all the nice ones on here!

I take it you mean week 16 is your build date and not your collection date.
-
I meant I was told it was around 16 weeks from ordering it. Haven't been given an exact week yet :(

Same here but i was told that i would get a tracking number on monday. If i havent heard anything by 5pm they will be getting a phone call.
-

No it's red calipers and a speaker in the actual exhaust which sounds really good and gives the car a nice growl inside and out when in sport mode

Have you got your order number yet? I have just got mine and plugged it into the tracker. I was told week 22 for build. So looking around June as expected. Gonna be a long few months.

Not yet called the dealer tonight and they are going to call back with the order code in the morning. He reckons it will be 3 months so maybe end of may.
-
Finally got my order number and it is now saying that it is with the factory. Is it normal for it just to tell you the colour and interior colour? My keyless entry isn't showing.
Can't wait until I get a build week now.

Yeh it is i think! Mine is the same and the dealer confirmed my spec with me. Even the upholstery colour says titan black which is bit strange although apparently everyones say this. Is yours manual or DSG?

Mine is manual, noticed the Titan black as well. I have also noticed that I get more detail with the tracker when I am not logged in. When I log I just get a photo of a container.
-
Titan black is the colour of the roof lining and shows on all orders regardless of what interior you've specced.

Just off the phone to the dealers. Got an estimated build week 19 which is 3 weeks sooner than I expected so I should have the car by the first week in June.

Hi Diehammer, just been told my estimated build date has moved to week 19 too. Hows your estimated build date coming along? any change yet?
Cheers

Not heard anything since, I keep checking the order tracker twice a day. Get the feeling that once it's confirmed it will be very quick in coming though.
-
Just went to check my order there and the tracker is having major issues, wonder if there is progress at last since its been 5 weeks since i ordered.
Either that or they are updating the spec of the car maybe :laugh:
-
I orderd my GTD on the 13th january & mine still says with the factory now... :sad:
Don't get too excited ! because I did then relised it hasent moved for about 4 months now :sad:
Cant wait to get it though im excited :grin:
I orderd, carbon grey paint & the 19" alloys.
Thanks
-
But its less than three months since ordering - I would not expect it to have moved to 'BW confirmed' this early....
-
Good news !! :grin: :grin:
Its now moved to build week confirmed on my tracker :)
But got to ring up on tuesday as no one was at the VW garage to tell me what week.
Excited :)
-

If it's BW confirmed on the tracker today, you'll be BW18 (W/C 27th April), just like my R.

It doesn't tell you what week its confirmed for if I remember correctly but it does get confirmed 4 weeks in advance so you should be build week 18.
So in theory you should be looking at 6 weeks onwards to collect your car. I think the quickest I've seen from build week to collection was 10 days.

Beat to it :laugh:

Going by Slipanddip's date of ordering i should be 6 weeks behind making it week 24 :grin:
-
Unfortunately date of ordering and build week dates have nothing in common as you have loads of other variables to take into consideration.
The dealership you bought from might only be allowed to order 3 GTDs a month and they have already sold a few months allocation in advance already. Unfortunately everyone ordering a Golf doesn't just go onto an in-sequence waiting list. That would be far too easy :shocked:
Plus a car may already be in the system.
Or certain extras can hold up orders.

Hey guys, i rang up yesterday & yes you are correct im on build week 18 which is the 27th of april.
Should be here mid to end of may they told me !! Please hurry been waiting so lonnnnnng haha.
:grin:

:grin:
BW18? That's close enough to be locked in, so it's a definite. How long it takes to get here depends heavily on your location and which port your car will come to. Tyne-bound cars (as far south as Teesside, right up through the North East and all of Scotland) generally make the trip from Emden far quicker than Sheerness/Grimsby bound cars.
-
yeah well I hope so, I know delivery can take a while so im guessing thats the maximum delivery time.
Well i live in the north in leeds so right bang in the middle really lol :grin:
cant wait now :smiley:
-
Just received a text to say that my order has moved to stage 3, looks as though i am going to be BW21 but my dealer doesnt open until 9am so i have to wait to confirm arrrrrrggghh
-
I've just had the exact same text Diehammer.
If it's confirmed as BW21 I might ask to add the Sport and Sound pack to delay it a week or so!
-
definitely week 21 :sad: but i am really excited at the same time
-
well i haven't had any change so i think im still on for this monday coming !
Cant wait now, waited long enough haaha :grin:
-

I am glad i still have a few weeks, got to get my private plate onto rentention, refurb alloys, get a small crease on my door repaired, sell the BMW etc oh and get my deposit together.
-
I get mine Monday :grin: :grin:
-
Well its build week 18 !!
Nothing happened as of yet on the tracker, but so excited :grin:
Anyone else on build week 18 ????
Thanks

Hi All, im new round here!
I ordered my GTD at the end of Jan....tracker still saying "With the factory" getting so impatient! Its through a lease company though so perhaps the dealer has sold there allocation?!
So annoying
