The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[GTi Crow]

Mine ordered mid December 2010 - build date week 9 of 2011 - my calc last week of February. Would put delivery late May - probably last week of going on previous car timing.

I am starting to smile. Excitement will build when vin # available start of March.

Stupid question.. but how did you find out the build date week information?

Dealer sent me a copy of my NADCON (order system) which lists all the options in the factory build plus it shows Planned Production Week - probably only just released - pays to have a good relationship with your sales person - or the fact I bought a few VWs in the last year.

So the NADCON printout is completely different to the "New Vehicle Contract" printout yeah?

Can anyone shed a bit more light on how the ordering works? i.e if I placed my order at the end of October does that necessarily mean that my GTI will be built no later than GTi Crow's in which he ordered his mid December?

No it does not. It depends on your options and when VW are going to run an Australian production run with those options. The Australian VWs have certain parts that other VWs don't - so they meet the Australian standards of local content.

New Vehicle Contract is what you sign which includes all your options - some of those options (such as front side window tinting or towbar etc. are dealer options). The NADCON is what is ordered for your car by VW Australia from Germany (or where ever production is). It is a printout from VW systems of their order.

Drawback is mine is a planned prod-week - it may move, but at least it gives me an idea.

To give you a better idea when I bought my first Mk6 GTI I did not hurry to sign the contract, because I new that Australian Golf GTIs with Bi-xenons were not going to be built until after start of 2010 - I ended up ordering mine on 2/1/2010 and had it in the 1st week of June 2010. If I had ordered in October when they were released I would have not got my GTI any sooner than maybe a week or so.

Ok Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

I think it's time again to chase up my dealer
