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?
Its a very complex issue ordering a GTD with VW trust me ive tried and there is no straight answer , you just get bog down with loads of marketing  BS drove me insane in the end, so I just bought a Tiguan with no regrets lovely motor well happy  :cool: the Mrs chose the Tig F**K the Golf  :grin:
But which of these 3 would you rather F**K?  :grin:
The 3 of them  :kiss:

I am now going to have a cold shower.  :drool:

 I was expecting word on my GTD this week! (It was allegedly on build week 23, 6 June)  However my dealer has now given me the latest update.  The car was actually built at BW24 and released on 29 June.  It was only put on ship for Grimsby today.  It looks like 10+ months from order to delivery if I get it!!!!!  Am I unlucky or crazy?

This can't be good for VW let alone the customers!

I have been told 4 hours to build.

As regards shipping, according to VW records my car was built during week commencing 13 June and was only put on the ship for Grimsby on Friday last the 8 July 2011.
