GTD delayed again !

[am1w]

I ordered a GTD on March 9th and I've been told build week 22, so I'd expect to have delivery by early-mid June, all going well. I can't understand how a car that was ordered in October is still in the queue.

It comes down to a clueless dealership that's why

I could have got my car in 3 weeks max as it was a cancelled order. However, it had a poverty spec and because I introduced some extras, I had to wait exactly 3 months. Considering Christmas and New Year were part of this period, I felt a 3 month was reasonable.

Our Fleet Management team are now quoting 12 month wait on all VAG factory orders, in particular all Diesels and DSG's (this was on friday) I have cancelled the GTD i ordered in November as they can give me no definite build date and they have found me a a cancelled GTI.

I got mine within 12 weeks, and a few bits added, belive its also a week extra to get it accross the Irish sea.
Dealer was good and kept me updated every 2 weeks, defo worth the wait!

Hi Damian,
I see you're in Kildare, another Irish man here, I'm on week 9 of my wait for my GTD! Hopefully not too much longer... What extras did you add? I've gone for 18's, xenons, iPod and bluetooth.

Stick a few pics up!

Just stuck one up... went for Carbon Grey, rude not too!
Had Phone Kit, Alarm, Luggage thing, and Ipod lead (that doesnt work very well!) My experience with all the upgrades on my last one (GT 2.0 TDi) was I never got a penny more for it when I chopped it in, so never went OTT this time.
It's worth the wait, all those 320D drivers over here dont like it :-)

The best update you can add to a Golf is the Flat Tyre Indicator £35 its worth its weight in gold.

Standard fit here in Ireland oddly enough! We get a few add-on's here as standard that are optional for you guys - such as the TPMS, folding door mirrors, cruise control. But then we miss out on climate control and one or two other bits.

Well folding door mirrors and cruise control have been standard on Seats for years. You have to pay extra for everything with VW its getting the same as BMW.

Keith you quote "Flat Tyre Indicator £35" Why you say that? Does it quote the actual psi or does it just tell you you have a flat when your car's rumbling along with masses of black smoke in the rear view mirror?

May still add it to my order.

I think it's linked to the ABS sensor and detects if there's been a significant change in the rolling circumference of the wheel... if it detects a problem, it'll beep and flash a warning on the dash. It doesn't monitor the PSI or anything like that. I've had it go off a few times in my GTI, usually after I've gotten new tyres fitted or after a service!
