Just got build week confirmed as 01/08/16 for my Golf R.  What build lead times are you guys seeing at the moment for your cars.  Is it around 5 to 6 weeks from build week to delivery or will it be a shorter time scale?   

Things are getting real now  :smiley:

What spec did you go for?
Below are the dates for mine...

1: processing order - as it sounds - 25/03/16

2: with the factory - parts are being ordered and are awaiting supply dates. - 30/03/16

3: BW confirmed - all parts are at factory and they've confirmed a date for build. - 22/04/16

4: Build in progress - as it sounds, although very often skipped on the tracker as actual build is only a couple of days. States is takes 4 weeks from start of build to delivery. - skipped

5a: in transit:left the factory - on it's way to Emden. - 19/05/16

5b: in transit:shipping - at Emden waiting a boat. Normally received 48 hours after 5a. - 22/05/16

5c: in transit:nearly here - on boat to either Grimsby, Tyne or Sheerness depending on dealer location.  At this stage VW can give you the name of the boat, but it sometimes skips this stage.  Now states 10 days to dealer. - 27/05/16

6. Arrived in the UK - as stated, takes up to 10 days apparently, although they try and do it within 7. - 01/06/16

7. At dealer - just needs PDI and valet alnd is ready for you. - Collected 10/6/16

Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps
Tech Pack (Nav Pro + Dynaudio)
DCC
Pretoria 19" Alloys
Climate Windscreen
Advanced Telephone Prep
Rear View Camera
Car-Net App Connect
Rear Side Airbags
Winter Pack (Now Standard)
5 Year Warranty
Service Plan...


Oh and I wangled another boot liner before signing the dotted line  :grin:

Is Car-Net App-Connect not standard with Nav Pro?  This is what I was led to believe at the time of order, and has been confirmed by VW since.  That's for the GTI, mind, but I can't see it being any different for the R!

So far as I know from the time of ordering back in April Car-Net App Connect I was informed it was an extra option (not standard) on the Golf R.  But on closer look at the configurator now I can see the Nav Pro option hase fine print at the bottom of it's description stating Car Net App Connect included.  But on looking at the Tech Pack description it states in small print the Nav Pro and Dynaudio Excite is bundled.  I guess they have charged me for the App Connect where they did not need to.  I may have to get on to the dealer.

Has anyone else configured Tech Pack and received App Connect as part of the pack recently?  :smiley:

Mines at the port with yours :)   Which port will your car be shipped to?

Some port South of Sweden hopefully if it's to arrive on time :grin: I'm based in Sweden

A different to where I am in the UK then.  Although I will be in Stockholm on a cruise in 20 days :)

That seems quite quick ASKendrew, quoting me 12 - 16 weeks if I want to order new as replacement for mine that was stolen...yours looks great, sigh.
