Oh my God!!

Build week confirmed Week 20.

At last we can get excited.

Does build week confirmation mean it can’t be moved?

One happy GTI owner tonight.

I read on another forum within the last couple of weeks that VW’s Wolfsburg factory is currently running 4-7 weeks behind schedule (not too many weeks ago it was 11 weeks behind schedule, so they are at least catching up). Therefore confirmed build week 20 could actually be somewhere in the range of week 24-27.

Yes currently some Golf’s can be delayed upto 11 weeks from confirmed build week.

They announced yesterday they have cleared up all delayed cars from build week 1-5 :whistle:

Like that’s something to celebrate….

Has anyone recently received their new car and been presented with any face lifted upgrades or anything that they didn't expect ?

I ordered my CS in October 2021 and last I heard my unconfirmed build week was week 28 2023 (which is late July)

If you go onto the VW configuration to build a ClubSport the visual is showing the car being produced with a black roof (which would be exactly what I'd like my order to look like) ..... has anyone recently received their new order and been presented with a black roof or even presented with other face lifted upgrades to that matter ???

I ordered my CS in October 2021 and last I heard my unconfirmed build week was week 28 2023 (which is late July)

I’ve just gone into the configurator and it shows the black roof as an extra cost option with Pure White, Moonstone Grey, Kings Red and Oryx White paint colours - see screen print below. So if you didn’t specify the black roof option when you ordered your car, I’d say your car won’t have one, unless VW include it as standard on the Clubsport before your car is built (IMHO, that’s unlikely).



As for cars being built with facelift features - I don’t think VW have released any official launch pictures - or details of spec changes - for the mk8 Golf mid-lifecycle facelift yet. AFAIK, the facelift car isn’t due to go on sale until sometime next year. It’s been suggested in various motoring publications that the facelift model will get a larger touchscreen, maybe the return of actual buttons on the steering wheel rather than haptic touch pads, and some of the physical controls for certain functions may return rather than pretty much all functions being accessed via touchscreens. Based on previous VW facelifts, other facelift changes are likely to consist of revised bumper designs, headlamp and tail lamp designs. Sometimes VW introduce new new alloy wheel designs, one or two new paint colours and new upholstery designs as part of facelift changes.

Anyone with a clubby mind telling me how the plates are mounted? Is there a front plate mount like in the mk7, and is there holes for the rear plate?

My front plate is screwed directly into the bumper (no mount) and the rear is mounted on a dealer branded number plate surround, again screwed into the bumper using numberplate screws.
I’ve never looked to see whether there are pre-drilled holes in the bumper cover, in fact thinking about it I dread to think how filthy the bumpers are beneath my numberplates…

Brilliant, ta. I’ll ask my supplying dealer not to fit the front plate and use a tow hook plate mount then. If there’s no mount, I’d hope there’s no holes.

The start of week 19 2023, hopefully this week is ‘the week’ for most of us!

Thankfully Wolfsburg FC have no midweek home games so less chance of any weary or hungover workers  :smiley: hopefully the currywurst sausage is in plentiful demand

Yes Banksygti, I checked in with dealer and was told still on for building w/c 15th May. Unfortunately I will believe it when I see it lol.

October 2021 ordered, madness.

Fingers crossed for us all waiting for a big week we hope.
