Ordered a GTD DSG with sunroof on 30 Sept 2010. Promised a build date in January 2011 to be told that it may be March 2011.
 
In March 2011 given an estimated build date of 6 June 2011.  In May 2011 build date was confirmed as BW 27 (4 July 2011) 
Car was actually built during week 23 (6 June 2011) and currently being shipped. :cool:



Thats got to be some joke ,  a real piss take that  :angry:
8 months sounds about right to me.

It should reach me by July so that will be 9 months+.  It is truly unbelievable! 

Dealer is going to fit the storage pack before delivery as my order couldn't be changed without changing the overall cost.  I am hoping they do a top professional job thanks to all the info from the forum!!!!

Well well well not liking the 8 months figure much, but have just been informed I now have a week 32 build, bit of a difference to the original week 39.  I think mine's going to get shunted all over the shop now.

Though Week 32 will be awesome for a September 61 plate delivery.

Can,t understand how someone can order a Gtd in May and get it in 4 months and someone has to wait 8 months for another Gtd. Why does this happen, anybody know?

Cancelled orders, dealer allocation and the type of extras you spec and their availability can affect the order at the VW UK end.
Then there are things like factory re-tooling when model year specs change and holiday periods which tend to coincide to reduce factory down time.
