Took proud delivery today after an 20 month wait. Done over 200 miles already driving it back home and it’s clearly some car! Even while running it in you can feel the capability shining through, I can’t wait to put more miles on it.

Just two more unusual items to mention/be aware of

1) Has anybody had the stop/start NOT want to disable? e.g I press the button to turn it off and nothing happened (engine stays off at traffic lights). I noticed this happen once - I turned the ignition off and on again, pressed the start/stop button and the engine then remained running as requested. Let me know if you’ve experienced similar. Nothing serious but wasn’t sure if it was pilot error!

2) Check your paint carefully! I’m having my car professionally detailed/ceramic coated and my detailer has spotted 3 areas where the paint has been polished at factory (we know this because the delivery covers were never removed from the car) and in once case, not buffed out - leaving some firm wax residue! This will come off of course but just something to make owners aware of. My car was built 12/05/2023 according to its production line code birth sheet.

Anyway, here’s some pre detail pics. I’ll post some more when it’s fully sorted. Pic at the bottom shows an example of the Wolfsburg wax!















Looks good Banksy GTI, picked mine up couple of weeks ago and did the same took to detailer straight away. Car will look awesome when done. Moonstone Grey mine.

Glad you got it, enjoy it. Car is amazing.

Finally got a confirmed build week of week 32. Delivery to dealer early November provided current lead times hold. Car was originally ordered in January/February of 2022, I jumped on the cancelled order later on.

When I had my order in, the dealership I was dealing with were quite good with updates, if you are not having much luck with yours then I would escalate with VW UK, stating that your dealership is not being very forthcoming with information on your order.

A Google search will give you details on how to do it, search for the email addresses for the head of VW UK, or even head of sales for VW. Hopefully you’ll then get updates on your order direct from VW. Ordering in September 21, and not even having a confirmed BW is terrible.

You were white, DCC and Estorils weren’t you? There’s one available at my local dealer in that spec, available now if you’re interested. Check my post history.

[Adammd209]

Yes, Black Estorils though.

Yes, Black Estorils though.

It is the diamond cut Estorils, but otherwise the same then. I will admit the white does look good, has me reconsidering my choice of dolphin grey.
