Tiguan MY18 Updates / Spec Changes

[subbi]

The wait is well and truly ridiculous! I have friends that have received fully decked out AMG's sooner than our Tiguans!!

I placed my order early February, with then advised August delivery (6 months). I have since been told delays in VW manufacturing has pushed the delivery to October. Whilst I've been told it will now be MY18 it has not yet received a build date let alone left Germany!

:O Wow.. So they sat on your order for 5 months without any activity.. Gives me no hope with my order now. VW better step up before customers step out!!

I can't say the dealership has sat on it. I've been in communication with them roughly once a month. Back in June I was informed of the delay to October - albeit it was as a result of me asking for updates.

You seriously think the dealer did not place the order or VWA did not schedule the vehicle production for 5 months? The problem is world wide so obviously a production capacity problem somewhere in the supply chain. Polo were out to about 12 months at one stage and I have never waited less than 6 months for any VW car if it is not in stock in Oz. The only orders that were sat on by dealers would have been the very first ones put in before dealers were allowed to place orders and quite a few here were in that boat knowingly. Some people placed orders 6 months before VWA started taking them.

I agree with the dealer comment - no fault of their own. It's the manufacturing where the issues are. Having said that I waited 4.5 months for my GTI back in 2011. With the options I picked it had to be a new build and they turned it around very fast considering what today's lead times are.

Just to be clear, I did not say dealership, but rather VW, which is really at the prod/assembly line. The dealership is not at fault obviously since they are only point of sale, but this backlog is frustrating. That is solely VW ..not dealership.

It is very long but VW have always had long lead times as they custom build cars for the customer. The other manufacturers do not do that, they load everything into the cars and call it done so this means they can stock the vehicle locally and the only accessories are bolt on like canopies for utes etc. VW have dropped the ball on this one, nothing surer.
