Title: Hi, New GTI on the way
Post by: Dickys3 on 26 January 2021, 09:24: Hi all,

New to the forum and looking forward to getting my GTI. :smiley:

Ordered a moonstone grey DSG with the 19 inch wheels. Hopefully will be here end of March.

Cheers

Rich.

Post by: ar899 on 26 January 2021, 10:02: Congrats on your forthcoming GTI. Is that a factory order?
Title: Re: Hi, New GTI on the way
Post by: _andy on 26 January 2021, 10:37: Nice colour choice, I'm waiting on a manual one in Deep Black.

Ordered 2 weeks ago, was told March/April.

The wait is killing me. 4th Golf, first GTI..

Post by: Dickys3 on 26 January 2021, 10:42: Thanks all.

I was being quoted 30 week lead times yesterday for a new factory order, however I managed to secure one that was already in the system which is already scheduled for build week 8 (end of feb).

Hopefully I will get it end of march.

Post by: _andy on 26 January 2021, 10:49: 30 weeks? I'm gonna guess the dealership I went to wasn't all that honest with lead times..
Looking like March/April might be a bit too optimistic for me. :-(

Post by: Dickys3 on 26 January 2021, 10:53: I know! I was shocked also. :shocked:

I spoke to a number of suppliers who were all saying the same. Fingers crossed its exaggerated!

Post by: Wrex22 on 26 January 2021, 11:00: These lead times are totally ridiculous
Title: Re: Hi, New GTI on the way
Post by: fredgroves on 26 January 2021, 11:01: Read this lead time thread guys:

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=287258.0

Evo1986 is our resident main dealer, his posts are the truth as he gets it from VW....

Note that the lead times are after the factory confirms the order, which depends on dealer slot allocation....

Welcome to the public beta test and bug hunt!

I am sure like me you are looking forward to having a replacement steering wheel and associated wiring loom.

Post by: Ubique on 07 February 2021, 13:44: My GTI DSG DCC Dolphin grey was due to be with me in a week, last Monday the dealer told me that it hasn’t actually been built yet. Delivery date not sure, hope you have a better experience of VW.

Post by: Si_Telford on 07 February 2021, 14:20: It is someone I deal with all the time at VW and only current stock was Dolphin Grey and Black, they are expecting it to come tomorrow to send me over the reg. How long have you had it ordered ?
Title: Re: Hi, New GTI on the way
Post by: Ubique on 07 February 2021, 17:19: I ordered it back in October.

Yes I only wanted dsg, moonstone grey and 19 inch Adelaide’s. There was one with this spec in the system so I bagged it. Order status is still saying however “with the factory”
