Vw Golf GTD waiting / build times

[ashasg03]

Hi

i have ordered a new factory build vw golf gtd on 31st march 2015. Any idea how long this will take to deliver ? i was initially told 12-14 weeks but havent received a confirmed build, i called up yesterday and was told a unconfirmed build date of week 30. have any of you guys been through this process ?

I placed an order on 30th March, Order confirmation came through on 10th April with anticipated delivery of 17th August (Week 34).

13th April the dealer confirmed provisionally Week 21 with delivery 4 Weeks later.

VW tracker moved today to Build Week Confirmed which ties in with BW21 so looks like Week 34 was the worst case scenario advised on the initial order form.

I think it's a common issue and anyone on here will tell you the same thing.

There's numerous threads on this topic and it seems there's various reasons for it. Dealerships exceeding order allowances, spec of your car etc.

I'd advise ringing your dealer and asking for your unique order number, then you can spend hours watching the VW Tracker like I and many others do!

Out of interest, what have you ordered?

have any of you guys been through this process ?

Probably about 95% on here 

There are loads of threads about time it takes etc. Have a nosey about and you'll see. Alos have a look in the TDI section for delivery times of the GTD  http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=128.0


Have a look at this thread, more so the end of the thread as it will give you an idea when folk ordered and when they collected. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=258984.0

I ordered my GTD on 26/02/15 and just got a confirmed BW21 text this morning. So i am looking at 16 weeks from order to collection.

You get a confirmed build week 4 weeks before its due to be built.

i understand that but considering we ordered at practically the same time and my car is just a basic gtd no added extras , id have thought id get a build date too, but i guess its do with a lot of different factors etc, just annoying ahving to wait as im checking the tracker everyday haha

It doesn't work like that unfortunately. You have dealer allocation to take into consideration.

[ashasg03]

yes i know, just hate having to wait as i dont understand why it should take 5/6 months for a new car with no extras. its crazy that vw do this. i know there are different factors involved eg allocation etc arghhh
