Come on then, since there is a BW42 thread and they've just had their dates confirmed - who's down for BW43?

Ive been advised BW 45, so the quicker your car comes the quicker mine does!!!!!!!!!! Have you had definitive say so that you are BW 43? I was told 45 but this was the best part of 6 weeks ago. Keen to make sure its not fallen further back than promised as I ordered the start of June

My dealer tells me 43 is going to be confirmed this week, judging by how the 42'ers went I'd say this is likely to be the case so I guess in 2 weeks time your's will be confirmed too.

My dealer contacts me around every 1-2 weeks with an update by email. I think he knows I'm impatient.  :grin:

This has been such a long wait...I just hope it's worth it.

What?! That's a joke. The customer service I have received has been nothing short of awful. I wish I was kept informed weekly or fortnightly

Have you had a test drive? The wait is definitely worth it. This is my 3rd GTI in a row  :smiley:

Mine is lease but they have a tracker and it is updated each week and at 3 weeks it was on target each and every week for stock date and now it has been pushed back 3 weeks due to factory parts issues. Ordered Mid May, with likely receipt now Mid November.

No test drive unfortunately. I keep meaning to call the salesman to organise something, but he's annoyed me so much I don't think I could see him without telling him how sh*te he's been. It's the GTD in DBP I've ordered. Can't wait to get it. Brother has a mark 5 GTI and that's a beauty, which has prompted me down the VW route from an avid Audi fanboy. Need to call the salesman do find out if I'm still on track for bw 45

Pure White GTD 5 Door DSG Discovery Sat Nav Winter Pack Dynamic Chassis Control

So no camera on order - so not sure what part is in short supply at factory, the DCC or DSG maybe?

If mine now stays on track it will be 3 weeks over stock date and 6mths from order to delivery.

Our lease site states that STronic Audi A3 leads times are 16-26 weeks! and given it states the GTD/GTI is 14-16 weeks on same lead time chart which we know is hugely optimistic! then still quite happy did not order the Audi still as be getting that in 2015 sometime.
