Clearly some are being produced and shipped against that number as there are some arrivals confirmed in late december and again in January but from what I can see those arrivals won't put any more than a 10% dent in the back orders. If the level of demand for the 162 was misjudged then its probably not unreasonable to see increasingly long delays in delivery time. Won't be the first time it's happened for an in demand VW product.
So I went into the dealership today and asked them what was going on. The sales manager simply stated that there was a delay on all 162TSI and that to the best of his knowledge there was no 162s coming into the county and that May 2017 was the earliest delivery date. I told him about this forum and that people were getting their 162s in January and February and to that he had no response.

Not satisfied I rang up VW Australia and they gave me the same response saying that there was a delay for our region, and that he would speak to the sales manager at my dealership. They then put me back on the phone to him. Back to square one!

Not happy with the dealership or VW Australia at the moment.
