New car order delays

[fredgroves]

Apparently VAG were the worst hit in the WLTP hiccup.

Of VAG, Audi took a 22% in sales losses and VW (cars) 20%.

That's a major business hiccup. Serious problem. I guess heads will roll for that!

22% drop in sales from Audi and 20% from Vw. That is crazy. I suppose that makes sense bearing in mind that you can’t order every model. I had a call from Audi back in October asking if I was interested in another S3. After a few calls they realised that you couldn’t order one until January. Seems the same for the R.

Good to hear that orders are starting to get somewhere for everyone. Must be a huge relief!

Great news neepy.  Did you receive confirmation from the tracker?

Yep, got the full works - text, email and app notification, which hasn't always been the case when receiving updates

Great news, looks like it updated today! I'd actually given up looking at it after no updates for 3 weeks

Hi,
Ordered GTI Performance back in early October. Tracker now saying 5b (waiting to ship). Perhaps this afternoon by the sounds of it!

I’m assuming, now the wltp has been resolved.. as soon as it arrives at dealership it will be ready for collection?

Yesterday, dealer informed me of mid Feb delivery. Have they got it wrong?

Cheers.

Apparently VW have to apply for a MVRIS code for the cars which will take a few weeks to come through
