Build Week Slippage / Advance
« on: 24 June 2011, 15:23 »
Go on then guys, just been given my first build week of Wk 39, dealer said this is worst case and could possibly, just possibly slip forward.  Then allow 4 weeks after before I get the keys.

From your experiences how much difference was there between 1st build week quote and actual build week?

Mine was ordered Feb 2010, promised for the end of September 2010 and I got it 2nd July 2010. They told me I had the chance of a cancelled slot, which I grabbed - good luck!

Tbh.. If u get quoted a build week, its not likely to change atm. I ordered mine in sept 2010 and got it 8 and half months later. And when I did finally get a build date it didn't change from that.

I've got a week 31 build, but today have received a letter from VW saying that GTD / GTI & R models may be subject to further delay and my GTD could be involved.  Advised to ring the dealer for an update, so will do that asap.  Going to GTI International tomorrow.

Depends. When its locked its locked when its not its a best guess. DONT take it as gosbal as mine back in august 2009 moved lots of times adding months and months of delay. When i ordered mine i created a thread were others who ordered in the same month could list theirs.
