My build date is confirmed for w/c 8th August, when do you guys in the real world expect I should have my car?
4-5 weeks in my experience so early - mid Sep.

ALA

Check back a few pages for discussion on the price match.

I just mentioned it in my emails to one of the staff there.

Sorry, I've been looking for ages and the search is rubbish on this forum. Any ideas on the page number?

For those who ordered through Vindis Bedford, what's your build week?

I have unconfirmed 29th August so hoping the tracker to change next Monday!

I've also been told the same week by Vindis - tracker still says 'With The Factory' and being scheduled for production...Hope it doesn't shift out any further...

Spoke with VW CS, should see the tracker change by the end of next week. It's still unconfirmed but I've spoke with them 3 times in the last 2 weeks and it's not changed so fingers crossed it won't!

I have just been been notified I need to go to the states with work for 4 - 5 weeks from 19th September. That's the week my Golf R is due to arrive at the dealer! It's a lease deal through Select leasing - will it be ok to sit at the dealer for a month or will Select or the dealer start charging me once it arrives.

I ordered mine via National Fleet Services so don't know the dealer (or the order number - they won't reveal it) but my build week for 29th August was confirmed nearly 3 weeks ago.

Phil, I'd be pretty certain that this is unconfirmed if you haven't got the order number to prove it.

It changes to Stage 3 4 weeks before scheduled build date, so in your case of 7 weeks seems quite unlikely.

I'd also be chasing them for an order number so you can track it yourself.

I'm also getting mine via them. Been told today my build week is 36 (w/c 5th September). They expect it to be at the dealer at the start of October.

Is it possible to get heated seats without leather on the Golf R?
Definitely seen one on AT with heated seat buttons but cloth but configurator doesnt seem to allow....

Winter pack comes as standard on all new builds now I believe, no need to spec it. I should know, if my car had been a week later it would have been fitted. Woe is me.

Build week confirmed as 15/08/16 but has disappeared from the tracker now, just says "build week confirmed". Delivery expected around 20/09/16
