I was reading an article about the inefficient Wolfsburg plant which is contributing to Golf production delays. It is considered to be the most inefficient in the VW empire with probably the highest labour costs. 

Management have their hands tied as the powerful German Unions have a stake in VW and and the required improvement in efficiency cannot be implemented that easily.

Additionally, it has been mentioned that little or no room for a 'physical' expansion exists at that venue. The factory working at full capacity at present.

Greetings all, thought I'd sign-up, say hello and see if anyone else has been waiting 7 months for a GTI?  Ordered in early June 2010 and now have a build week of 17 so by the time its delivered in May a staggering 11 months will have past!

Can anyone beat this?  :sad:


I waited around 4 months, but It's worth the wait believe me.

Interesting, might seem like a daft question, but does this same plant produce the Audi A3?  Going back to the two GTD's that took 2-3 months from order to delivery, a Bluemotion Golf which was ordered at the same time is still awaiting.  So it seems at least on this occasion that the GTD's are getting their quota on the production line. 

Maybe this explains the reason that the Mk6 GTI is as rare as rocking horse s**t?  I have constantly been on the look out since test driving and ordering mine, and can only think of a handful of occasions of seeing a GTI and one of those was because I passed a VW dealership!
