Waiting and waiting.
« on: 18 October 2009, 03:33 »
Hi all,

I ordered my GTI at the beginning of August, I now have been given a ‘provisional’ build week, week 49 so end of November – early December. In my eyes this is rather a long wait!  :angry:  Has anyone else waited a similar period of time? Or even longer? I'm new to this site and was just wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me.

Also I ordered mine without cruise control, a decision i have since come to regret. Is it possible to have this installed as an after option?

I ordered May 1 and finally got it mid-August, so a 3.5 month wait. Well worth it, however :laugh:

I ordered July, was built this week, so hopefully see it in the next couple of weeks, which should work out to about the same wait time as Frogs.

See the thread on "Calling all August orders"

Had my cruise fitted on the mk5 by Awesome Gti when they did an Apr remap, Think it was about £120   3 years ago

Phone your dealer.
Get the VW commision number off them
Phone VW customer service on Tuesday. (latest updates on computer on Tuesdays)
Ask what it says for your build week and cars status.
Get yourself onto the August thread LINK and give us an update  :evil:


Just as a note your wait does not seem over the top to me from the list on the August thread i have compiled.
May i add you to the August list?

when i had a test drive on friday, told the dealer i want it on march 17th for finance and insurance purposes, he told me the car needs to be ordered by at least the second week of november! Seems a long time to me, but i am also contemplating a GT 160, told me that would need ordering last week in nov 1st week of dec so not massive difference.

My dealer, part of Inchcape group, actually have a list of retro fits they undertake - they list cruise as £153 fitted incl VAT, thats cheaper than the factory !
