Late Nov 2010 order on course for build week 14.
Delivery expected mid April.

Shortages of DSG boxes causing some of biggest delays.

Probably because they have had to replace so many faulty ones. :evil:

It's always been around 4 months wait.

Bet you can't wait.

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it, and you don't have too much longer to wait.

I ordered my GTD in mid Nov, and the dealer was hopeful of an April delivery..........unfortunately not. Earlier this week, the dealer  told me my build week is 26, with expected delivery in July. I didn't order DSG, so that's not the reason for my long waiting period - likely to be 8 months from order to delivery, assuming the build week doesn't get pushed back.

Hopefully it will be available for the Easter holiday period to get some miles on the clock.

Just asking as brokers often can't fulfil their promises.

Dealers are sometimes a bit naughty too and they 'pretend' to order your car but don't actually have any build slots for a few months.

It's happened before...

Good point, I'm sure they perform a balancing act with allocations between customers who will/can wait, and those who wont/can't. :rolleyes:

Anything over 6 months then your dealer has shafted you.

If it's a broker then it's your own fault.
