I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Sale rep that told me was from my local Volkswagen, he is not from Sutherland. Frankly I do not received any email for the update of my pre-order. However, if the car release sometimes in April, by that time Peugeot 3008 will be selling a lot already here in Australia. And AUDI Q5 should be introducing in show room.

So I asked my dealer for an update this afternoon and they told me they are expecting it to arrive late Feb (and pointed out that they need a week or so after it arrives to prepare it for delivery).

I am going to put this rumour to bed once and for all. It was because of these rumors, I took it upon myself to contact Volkswagen New Zealand directly and they have told me that they are not aware of any production delays for the 162 R-Lines. I think that it also depends on when you guys placed your orders. Here in NZ the order book for the 162 R-Line opened in the last week of July. My dealer has informed me that the first Batch of 162 R-Lines has already been sold out in NZ and they expect a second batch in March, so I think this may be where the rumour's are coming from. I know that Australia only started taking orders for the new Tiguan around the end of August as the Aust launch was only happening at the beginning of Sept, so it looks as if NZ has beaten you to it again and snapped up the first Shipment of 162 R-Lines

That doesn't put any rumour to bed.... all that means is that vw can not get their story straight. Doesn't mean there aren't any delays, just means that vw nz doesn't know of any

General production delays were discussed on the UK Tiguan forum
Not specific to 162TSI RLine though .. but you can see that VW do have some production line delays going on.
