Well my order is Week 49 and the dealer confirms i Will have the car before Xmas. Since Wk 48 is the last week in November i doubt very much they close the factory for 4-5 weeks for Xmas.

As to lead times, my dealer also said VW UK were being given extra prioirity over German dealers since the German scrappage scheme has ended and the UK one extended. This might help some orders being placed now.  A lot depends on your delaer - Chester got me wk 49, South Hereford arages couldn't get a build date til February.

And i thought 3 doors were built in Mexico, and 5 doors in Spain - perhaps the GTi is different ??

When did you place the order m8?

It did for BMW. And if I recall, the Westmorland VW plant quite often had quality issues back in the day.

Signed the order form about 2.5 weeks ago, but it was a car the dealer already had on the system that we just modded the spec a bit. The spec was locked in for build last week according to VW CS

Thanks for the confirmation on the build locations too - i didn't think the called it Golfsburg for nothing !!
