Hi,

I ordered mine 23 October and it arrived at the dealers on 22 December!  I was told there was a 6 month lead time when I ordered.

Ordered my GTD 04/11/13 - it's at the dealers already. I had the same 6 month lead time story.

Looks like they're playing safe with leads times! I was provisionally given BW4 when I ordered, but had a call telling me it was built BW48!

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum but would just like to comment that according to the German auto website Automobilewoche.de, VW had to put on an extra 5 shifts during December to try to catch up with demand for the MK VII Golf.
For the whole of 2013, they had to put on 40 extra shifts mostly over the weekends. The Christmas break was given over to factory "renovations" that were supposed to have taken place during the summer.
I ordered a GTI first week in December and have been given BW4 for delivery end of February.

I have to say I am astonished to read all this news of speedy deliveries. I ordered first week November and not even been scheduled yet! Having said that I don't want it until well in to March.

Maybe the DSG box and wanting 3-door (and RHD of course) that is making it take longer?

Shouldn't be your options? I had DSG too.

Mine is also 3-Door, DSG and RHD with a good few other options (Rev. Camera, DNS Nav, DCC, Winter, Keyless) and I was very surprised that it had jumped 6-7 weeks forward from prov. build to actual build. Who knows, maybe I was lucky with a cancellation slot...

Whichever way it looks like I am the exception rather than the rule!
