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,

    “Thank you for your patience regarding your enquiry on the new Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg.

    Your Commission Number XXXXX is still at "ordered" status which means that it is pending to be built. The scheduled built week for now is late Jan 2018 with ETA to the country late March 2018.

    We are working closely with the factory to get more Golf R Wolfsburg built. Due to the restrictions on certain components of Golf R, this is the best estimate we have at the moment.”

    To be honest this is what I am expecting for my Wolfsburg. I have been told December but expect it march.

          Yes have seen those. I think cars with sunroofs are delayed from what I can see.

            Yeah I think so too - despite my dealer saying to the contrary

              Being strung along til that date and then to be told of a delay would annoy the hell out of me. I don’t have patience for that kind of dealing.

              • That sucks Mr T!
                What you going to do? Stick with it? It will still be 17 build. If you wait another month then you can have an 18 build.
                Really stupid how VW Aus can sell a car but not guarantee stock levels or delivery times!

                  I think I’m done. I may cancel and just keep what I have a little longer unless something else comes along and it’s available immediately. Been on this since June so I’ve exhausted all options I think.

                  • Build delays due to component shortages are nothing new for VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles, it has been happening for many years, and electrical stuff like infotainment/nav systems. active dashboards often seem to be the problem. IRRC the delays got up to 6 months+ at one stage for certain vehicles some years ago.
                    2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).

                      What about the standard R, or you dead set on the Wolfsburg?

                      The delays only really seem to be for the Wolfsburg edition according to my dealer

                              Crazy stuff. Especially for ‘German efficiency’.

                                I've asked for my order to be swapped with a car in the country if it is delayed more than December. So a wagon with no sunroof
