My GTD is going to be build week 19 and u ordered it 3 weeks ago so 3 & a half months roughly

I thought it would be around three months, that's about what I waited for mine.  They probably said six months because my husband is changing his scirocco for a Carbon Grey GTI at the end of the year and they think that he will order it a bit earlier.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Part No 5Q2  721 is called a securing ring. Mine fell out too and, after speaking to my local VW dealer fixed it myself.
If you open the drop down door under the light switch, squeeze the door together to remove it you can get to where it fell out from at the top of the brake pedal bracket. It simply pushes back in. I cannot see that it actually performs any useful function.

9/10 women I know would suggest that part be renamed "husband"!!

3 months wait for Gti (manual) according to Capitol VW in Wales. According to spec I guess.

I just got my build week after ordering about 2 weeks ago. I've ordered a PP GTI DSG 5dr.
Current: 2011 BMW 120d Coupe

On Order: 2016 GTI PP DSG
