How long does it take to build a Golf?

[MK6-Fan]

Ok, this has probably beeen asked a million times (but I did do a search prior to opening this thread.)

How long does it take typically/generally to build a Golf?

It's just that my dealer says that my car is being built in early July & could be at the dealers by end of July.

Will MK6 building be quicker now that they need to make way for MK7 switchover?

Cheers

A couple of hours to actually assemble it. However it will be on the production line for a few days as far as I know.

That's actually not as long as I thought. For some reason I was thinking it would take around 2 weeks to build the car from scratch!    :embarassed:  :embarassed:  :embarassed:  :embarassed:

Thanks for your informative answer.

Your right, haha! I can't wait any longer (even though I will just have to) but it will definetaly be worth the wait.

Have you been on youtube and looked at the actual plant making the Golfs. I'm sure there is 4 videos all in showing you the car being assembled. I wont give you links as searching for them should kill some more time for you

Judging by the number of threads on here to do with problems I would say about 3 minutes per car!!!! Assembled by Gibralter monkeys!!! Serviced by Amoeba!!!

You need to watch Mega Factory's on the Discovery channel as it has shown numerous car marques being manufactured, fascinating stuff how all the parts come together in the right sequence as every car is different from the last with literally thousands of car spec permutations

Many years ago I got on the Vauxhall Vectra production line in Luton which was really interesting, obviously no understanding of what a good car was back then

I've done maintenance work in the nissan plant a couple of times and had a walk around the production line. pretty amazing how it all comes together.
