I got this message from my dealer, who was told this by VW UK. I think the other guys got the same message via their VW dealer too.

Just realised the CSS's CJX engine code is the same as in the R and Clubsport Edition 40, don't know why I am surprised about that  :undecided:

Might explain the software update  :wink:

Ermmmm can you spell it out lol. Why would that explain the update? 😩


Sorry for being crypic.
If CSS and CS Ed 40 (my friend had this delay too with his Ed 40) are being delayed for software updates my guess would be that the ECU still has the CJX map for Golf R and it's easier for VW to change this post production.

Or it could all be a big lie and one they roll out when there's something they would rather not reveal going on


Thanks for explaining Volkswizard  :smiley:

Incredible anticipation ... no one really has a clue apart from the journos - but with ECOTY & Top Gear speed week giving absolutely scintillating feedback and VW doing such a crap job of PR and launch it must be on he'll of a car?! I am so glad I saw it coming from articles on PH ... One of the best affordable sports cars in years and even before launch a modern classic ... wow  :laugh:

I'm getting the impression from your posts that you're slightly excited. Hopefully it's not a big let down. TBH I don't know how it can be anywhere near as exciting as a GT4 or are you just hoping to flip it quickly and make some money?

The GT4 is a great car and i am on the list for a 991 Gen2 GT3 - just love the challenge of finding the next great car ... driving for a few years of free motoring and getting your money back is never a bad thing to do  :rolleyes:

Checked yesterday with VW UK and my CSS is still in Emden.
It's got to move soon if they want to deliver it in November as per their forecast

I would, although the tracker says my week 39 car is is transit its actually still sitting outside the factory waiting for a software update along with all the later build week cars we are supplying. Apparently some of them have moved but I'm yet to see any make their way to the port yet.
