GTD delayed again !

[Keithuk]

35 weeks, that's just nuts lads, totally unacceptable to me at least.

I couldn't agree more, tell them to stuff it.

[linc-dub]

I've ordered a new GTD which my dealer managed to grab a week 31 build on so I should have delivery in September for a 61 plater

I've ordered a new GTD

So you've ordered a new one when you already have one why?

Mk6 GTD Carbon Grey 59 plater, RCD510, Front & Rear Parking Sensors, Rear Camera, ACC

[SRGTD]

Thats not long!!! I am waiiting 35 weeks and my GTD is not due to be built until the start of JULY so you pretty lucky

Yes, similar experience to me. Ordered mine mid-November, factory confirmed acceptance of order early December, build week currently stands at week 24 (mid-June) so 30 weeks from order to build and with any luck, I will be able to take delivery early July. I'd have been more than happy with JoeGTI's 12-14 week wait!

Same here. Ordered end Sept 2010. In Feb was told the build date was 26. In April build date was confirmed to be week 23. So my car is being built next week Not expected to be delivered until the end of this month or early next month. So I make that about 38 weeks?

Why are some taking so long? Is it the DSG gearbox causing the delay?

Saw a Silver GTD with the LED tail lights on the A1 yesterday evening, looked very smart, reminded me it's worth the wait.

Was it that the dealership already had a build slot, and you were converting one of their orders?

[JoeGTI]

No, it was a fresh order. Don't think I got an existing build slot or an order already in the system wasnt changed for me or anything like that.

I think what happens here is the dealer gets on to the regional VW manager to try and get certain orders bumped up the list as much as possible. The salesman showed me an email from his regional manager specifying that she'd managed to get my car slotted in for a week 20/21 build.

Its a long wait and a bit of a pain.  But its worked out ok for me, particularly when you get so far down the road of the order.  If I had of been aware when I ordered I might have went elsewhere.  However, I have got a 2010 price with a MY2012 car and further discount for the delay.  So am hoping its been worth the wait.  I have heard all sorts of reasons for delay for DSG to engine etc. I have given up asking.

I've also heard it's the DSG box causing delay. Mine was ordered approx week 13 with a build week of 25 confirmed, so only 12 weeks and it will be the MY2012.
What is the usual wait time from build week to delivery week??

[richyrb]

i didn't order a DSG box..

i ordered my GTi in start of september'10 and got it just over 3 weeks ago..
