GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[Bill_the_Bear]

Ordered mine on the 25th July been told build week 45...still bing delay on the reversing camera 

So have they solved their camera problems then?  I know that sounds strange given the delay you are facing but they were saying that all orders placed from 1st July onwards would not even have the option of a camera, yet you seem to have got it on there.  That must mean that the system is now allowing it again as at least one user on here actually made a different change to a long standing order and found the system rejected his order due to no longer allowing the camera option.  Caused no end of trouble.

So anyway, they are allowing cameras again... but still with huge delays.

I dont think its available on the config screen still but if you order through a broker then it appears to still let you.

Khan, if the above is the case I would check what's up with VWCS... and make sure they give a believable answer!

One of us had high beam assist on his order for ages and when it turned out to be not allowed it also causes a lot of issues, including VW taking a long time and several denials before they recognised the problem and then revealed the delays that would result.

Long story short it is probably worth a call to VW and make sure they actually check and don't just "assure" you there are no problems only for the problems to become apparent later on!

Bill,

This is the only new car that I have ordered that I have been involved in. Usually company order the car or previous vehicles are ready to collect at dealers.

Thanks Bill 

Thinking back the broker did try to mess around with the prices and I had to find a previous quote to show him that he has increased the figures with no extra equipment. On to the blower I get !!!

Hi New to the forum. I ordered my GTD start of May, been told that it will be built mid September and I should have it about 3 week's after that. Need to add, mine is a company lease car, so I'm being told everything 3rd hand. Dumb question, but does build week start from 1st Jan?

Just out of interest, what colour have you gone for and what have you specced (if anything)? And welcome btw 

Of the top of my head. I went for standard black, with winter pack voice activation and privacy  heat reflective glass

First post..no longer a virgin :-)
ordered mk7 gtd about a month ago with Red pan roof dynoaudio, reverse camera. Dealer called back a week later stating big delays in reversing camera components and that the factory will delay the build possibly by an extra 3 months, VW have decided to stop offering the RV until further notice...
Has any body placed an order with RV extra, if so whats the delivery week.

Have purchased ABT headlight cover, 30mm lowering springs as think the golf has slighlty a bit too much gap in the arches, mudflaps and JL sub and amp.......

It seems to be a bit wishy washy whether the reverse cam is causing delays.  Some GTD'ers ordered in May and before and have confirmed build weeks in sept.  Some GTD'ers ordered in May with this option and have had delays to their builds.  I get the impression they use what ever excuse comes to hand.

I really wanted this option

Good news for me albeit 11 days after the build week finished I tracked my order and this is what I get

Your car has been built and has now left the factory. On average it takes 4 weeks from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.
 

now on to tracking Ships. at least I wont have to put up with ppl taking the P1ss because I am driving a baby blue VW Beetle with racing stripes.
