Hi! I'm anxiously waiting for the delivery of my new Golf R that was ordered on 9 August last year, built on 11 February and scheduled for delivery around 18 April. Hopefully, it was loaded on to the Tortugas yesterday and is on its way. I had a 9 month wait for my current ride, a MKV GTI, so I'm used to playing the waiting game!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Unfortunately my R wasn't loaded on to the Tortugas as originally scheduled, but ended up being loaded on to the Torino which sailed from Bremerhaven on 2 March. Although the Torino sailed five days after the Tortugas, it arrives at Port Kembla only two days later on 11 April. So still hopeful of delivery around 18 April. Can't wait..........Current: MkV GTI |Ordered 9 August: Golf R MY11.5 | DSG | 5 Doors | Black | Leather | 19" Black Talladegas | ACC | MDI | Bluetooth | Electric Driver's Seat | Built: 11 Feb | Delivery: 27 April |

General delivery periods are between 2-3 weeks for compliance, dealer delivery, cleaning, dealer checks, removal of shipping material etc.
So i would say you are more lkely going to pick it up on the last week of April.
9 months is a crazy amount of time!
I went nuts after 4 months.
