Re: New GTI + delivery
Ordered mine 5th Feb but nothing yet. It has a sunroof which I have heard might cause a delay.
Re: New GTI + delivery
Could the people that have had their build weeks confirmed maybe just say whether they’ve ordered a GTI/GTI+ and what options they’ve added?
It might help to identify a common addition that is causing orders to be delayed more than others?

Re: New GTI + delivery
Hi, New to this forum,
FYI,
I have just enquired about waiting time time for a standard GTI+ at Western Volkswagen dealer in Edinburgh, and the sales department states a 48+ week delivery time.

Is that the lead time if you were to order it now?ericridley wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:34 pm Hi, New to this forum,

Re: New GTI + delivery
May not be any specific option that’s causing orders to be delayed. It could be a supply issue with DSG gearboxes, which have been the cause of delays before with other VW models; see post by forum member Paul_Barnett on 10/04/2028 on page 4 of the thread at the link below;

Re: New GTI + delivery
Indeed, however as all GTI’s come with DSG you’d assume that they would be built in order of when the orders were placed with the factory? However that’s clearly not happening!SRGTD wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 3:40 pmMay not be any specific option that’s causing orders to be delayed.

Mine is a GTI+, Brecia alloys, winter pack, black roof pack, climate control, deep iron dash. Order number received 7th Feb, still showing ‘with the factory’ with no estimated build date.

Re: New GTI + delivery
VW are usually a right pain in the a*** in the early days of a new model. They never seem prepared for the volume or complexity of orders. German efficiency , I don't think so.
My options. Winter pack, camera, climate control, park assist, blind spot monitoring, pano roof, nav, limestone grey, wireless charging, Breschia.
Did consider dumping park assist to speed things up as reckon I won't use it.
Still no build date and ordered around 20th January.

Re: New GTI + delivery
Just been advised by vw that the factory have removed all build weeks for the GTI and will be entering them manually on the system in an attempt to get them built sooner,.
Duh?!

Re: New GTI + delivery
It also appears the GTI+ has completely disappeared off of the online configurator now...

Re: New GTI + delivery
Mine will/should/might be a Gti + with Climate, winter and Satnav. Was told nearly certain to be week 22 a few days ago after Feb 10th order but my dealer said I could have his allocation when we ordered . Not heard from him after asking for an order number, so can only sit and wait. No other cars appeal if I cancelled .
I agree German efficiency seems a bit lacking here and of course they bombed our chippy so have a lot to answer for. Apologiy for political incorrectness in advance , they make damn good cars.

Re: New GTI + delivery
Yes, it’s probably because the new style configurator wasn’t working correctly for the GTI+, so I assume they’re fixing it. The GTI+ is still in the latest (April 2018) price list brochure though.

Re: New GTI + delivery
That might be as a result of me reporting the fact that once you selected the GTI+, it then defaulted to a GTI when you built it. But probably not!
Our order: GTI+, Reef Blue/back roof, deep iron dash, winter pack, sat nav, reversing camera, Brescias and a 5 year warranty.
I've heard a rumour that Reef Blue might cause delays, don't know why.
