The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[SilvrFoxX]

People think I am mad when I tell them how long I have been waiting. 9 months for a Golf they say....
But they don't understand what an R is.
Long long wait, but I am sure it's going to be well worth the wait. This time next week I will have long forgotten about the wait, and the price!!

I had the same problem.. then folk line up to have a ride and are blown away

Ask your dealer, they will have that info their screen of goodness or whatever it is. I had a look at mine and it clearly stated the code for MY12

[langers_sydney]

Good question. So whats the identifier on the vin number for MY.

OK, have my VIN and engine code

Dealer can't tell me MY (long story)

Tried using VIN decoders but not sure of result

Tried searching various forums without luck.

Am I missing something ?

VIN code lists "C" in the year code

Is this MY11, MY11.5 or MY12 ?

New at this

I am tracking the ship successfully though

[Corey_R]

VIN doesn't tell you that. VIN will tell you what year it's built, not what "Model Year" specifications your car is.
For that, look at the Build Week, and then look at the MY12 thread to see what week it commenced.

[Candyman]

Thanks

A dumb Q, how do I find the Build Week ?

Sorry for the stupid questions. Search via Tapatalk isn't that productive !

[Corey_R]

You can ask your dealer. It's in NADCON right next to the VIN number.
Read the first post of this thread, as it explains some of it

[Candyman]

Thanks .....

This is where the long story has it's effect

Oh well, will find out when I pick the car up, end of August.

Cheers

[dyljoy]

good work~hope u can sort it out soon

[Candyman]

Well, sorted it out I think.

Would love feedback on the following. I've read through the MY12 thread (the only one I could find) and one other person had a similar situation but they ordered just before the MY12 changes were communicated officially.

I placed an order with the dealer very recently for a built Golf R with specificed options.

Since then, that vehicle was taken by another dealer (another story) so we confirmed another built Golf R and now ours, on the boat.

Now, here is where I am looking for feedback. We were told (and listed on our contract) that MDI and BT were options but the build date of the confirmed vehicle makes it a MY12 where they are standard. I am assuming the dealer will now remove those as listed extras and we wont pay for them. One option (ACC) was not available so that will also have to come off. If this is indeed an MY12 vehicle, surely the dealer should have known they were standard and we should not be charged for them ?

I am tracking the vehicle and it is on the Fidelio, due in late August. Build date 22 June 2011 (which is MY12 I hope)

I guess I should have done my homework and known what was standard and when MY12 kicked in but I relied on the dealer ...

Pretty cool being able to track the boat. Makes the waiting fun although cant imagine what it must be like waiting 6-8 months ! (mind you, I did wait 5 months for a vehcile I bought a few years back, a Subaru of all things)

[Corey_R]

You need to sort it out between you and your salesman.

You signed a contract with an agreed price. So there is no obligation for any change to be made. But if you've confirmed it is an MY12 build you could bring up the topic, and if they do, then you're lucky. It's completely unreasonable to expect the full price of the options to be removed unless you actually paid full price for the car

[Candyman]

You need to sort it out between you and your salesman.

That's the plan tomorrow

Was just interested in people's views on a standard item being listed (and paid for) as an option

In my case, I am hopeful it was an oversight by the dealer

Hahaha thanks.

How far off is yours?
