Mk6 Delays?

[JoseSpring]

I ordered my Golf Mk6 back on 20th November, and I'm still waiting for a confirmed build week. The garage came back to me yesterday saying the production week had now been "frozen" but not confirmed as Week 12 - this is the week commencing 16th March. I was then told that the car should be with me about 3 weeks later after shipping and prep.
I know its a new model, but this seems a long wait. Anyone else having similar delays with delivery of their new Mk6?

Well, I ordered my 1.4TSI (ps 122) 2 days ago and they tell me expect it 31st March. Went to another dealer last week...they were quoting the same time line. I hope they are not telling porky's

[JoseSpring]

Hmmmm, that sounds a lot better to me! Well done!
If you want to know for certain, ask them if the build week has been confirmed, and what week number it is.
Maybe mine's so slow because of my specs. I went a bit overboard, and I guess it just take's one to not be available and the whole car is delayed waiting for that part to arrive.

I ordered my new GT on 18 December 08. Had it confirmed last week from the dealer that it was due for build week 6 (this week) and delivery will be via Grimsby for 23 March.

Damn Crofter, you ordered 4 weeks later than me, and they're building yours 6 weeks earlier! I thought I'd got a raw deal! What specs did you go for?

Ordered mine on 10th January 2009 and they texted me and said it would be started in build week 8 which is next week, but does anyone know how long from the build week to delivery. I have also heard there having problems with the turbo and supercharged engines, glad know i went for the 1.4 tsi 122 bhp.

2.0TDi 140PS, Steel Grey, 18" Vancouver Wheels, Leather with Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, RCD 510 radio and Telephone Prep. Would have had Cargo Pack but it wasn't an option when I ordered.

I ordered a 1.4 (160) GT, with RSN510, Bluetooth, Dynaudio, Convenience Pack, auto-hold (don't ask!) and reversing camera.
Maybe it's the engine that delayed it. I hope to heavens I haven't been waiting so long for the auto-hold!

My old man has been running the 2.0 110bhp tdi for a week know its fab, its taking him a bit of time setting the menus up, when the wipers are off you cant lift them to wash the car as they catch the bonnet, there is something you do to the stalk and it lifts them a bit, i had a go and couldnt do it. Stereo is fantastic

I ordered mine mid-January, salesrep was confident for me collecting 1st April - only hope I'm not going to be an April Fool!
