Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[limiteded]

In contrast for the ordering of new vehicles, i placed my order with the dealer for my 135tdi alltrack in mid july, it was allocated a build slot to commence 2nd august( part allocation & prep for production taking a couple weeks, then manufacture commencement, with handover to transport being mid september , an aust delivery end october, customer delivery late november. Maybe i was lucky in getting a production slot 3 weeks after the order, but if vw aust ordered these vehicles a few months ago, and are claiming end of year delivery/ next year delivery, then either parts for wolfies are awaited on an thus delays to production, or it was plAnned all along for staggered production of the wolfsburgs. Eg 20 wolfies per aust manufacturing sequence, which might be 1 day every 3 weeks.

just an observation and guestimation. But its clear vw need more transparency for the manufacture/allocation of wolifies, just like they should have been more trasparent for r line tiguans.
If their new focus for the brand un der micheal bartch MD is customer experience, then surely this becomes a key issue to address to progress the brand forward

... either parts for wolfies are awaited on an thus delays to production....

I (and several other buyers) have been told by our dealers that there is a supply problem for the active display which is causing delays in builds, but I suspect (based on posts in this thread) that there may also be a supply or build problem for sunroofs as well.

Yeah I was told active display issues not sunroof but it does appear to be a supply issue for them as well.

I'd just like some transparency as to rough date - I'm not going to cancel the car but a bit of customer service would be nice consider the $$ being spent.

I have also been told from a few dealers that there is a global shortage on the active info display and that is what is causing the delay.
However, I find it a bit strange that a week after I ordered my R, my dealer said the car is currently being built and he gave me the vin (non Wolfsburg R).
So either I'm lucky in securing a build so quickly or he is spinning me bs to keep me happy because according to limitededs post, my build and delivery times will be a lot quicker than his (ETA mid October delivery for me).
I guess for this to be true, the car will have to be on the ship no later than late August. Time will tell.

I'm guessing the % of golf R's coming are not the allocated wolfies. Which if you were happy with a hatch and didn't care about the added extras you might as well have gone for a non Wolfsburg.

If you're looking at october delivery, you would probably have to have it on the ship by the 21st aug.

Mine is at the docks today, then loaded on the ship and leaving next monday

Ship will dock 2/10
Car will be at importer on 3/10
then will go to dealer and then delivery.

Not sure how many ships they have leaving.

For those of you who have a delivery date, Ask your dealers for something like this.

They have this as a breakdown of all the different areas of production and shipping.

Weird.

Its basically a breakdown of stages of delivery, and dates.

Showing when the boat leaves and docks in the arriving country, and all the build stages

How to track the car you have ordered?
