The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[SilvrFoxX]

People think I am mad when I tell them how long I have been waiting. 9 months for a Golf they say....
But they don't understand what an R is.
Long long wait, but I am sure it's going to be well worth the wait. This time next week I will have long forgotten about the wait, and the price!!

I had the same problem.. then folk line up to have a ride and are blown away

Ask your dealer, they will have that info their screen of goodness or whatever it is. I had a look at mine and it clearly stated the code for MY12

[langers_sydney]

OK, have my VIN and engine code

Dealer can't tell me MY (long story)

Tried using VIN decoders but not sure of result

Tried searching various forums without luck.

Am I missing something ?

VIN code lists "C" in the year code

Is this MY11, MY11.5 or MY12 ?

New at this

I am tracking the ship successfully though

VIN doesn't tell you that. VIN will tell you what year it's built, not what "Model Year" specifications your car is.
For that, look at the Build Week, and then look at the MY12 thread to see what week it commenced.

Thanks

A dumb Q, how do I find the Build Week ?

Sorry for the stupid questions. Search via Tapatalk isn't that productive !

[Corey_R]

You can ask your dealer. It's in NADCON right next to the VIN number.
Read the first post of this thread, as it explains some of it

[Candyman]

Thanks .....

This is where the long story has it's effect

Oh well, will find out when I pick the car up, end of August.

Cheers
