I just wanted to document for myself, and other new buyers the current lead times in the process.
I ordered on 16th March at dealers.
22/03/19 - 1 week later - Dealer emailed me with order number
23/03/19 - 1 day later my order appeared on the 'My VW' app - "With The Factory"
I am aware there were long delays in the past from last year's WLTP issues. What are people's experiences with more recent order timelines, i.e. this side of the new year?
How long to go from 'With The Factory' to build week confirmed? Appreciate some of you have this info in your signature but others don't. Would be good to get an idea of the current lead times of 'new orders' post the WLTP 'crisis'.
So this morning I got my 5C Text (transit near the UK) so very pleased that it seems to be progressing along quite quickly.
However, just to add to the pain of waiting.
last night my current car (that I'm part Ex-ing) has decided that its got a Head Light Malfunction (supposedly clever self leveling and cornering headlights) After its self test the left head light decides to go full travel to the left and stays there. Its booked in with the garage to get fixed but they can't fit it in till the 21st of June. Hopefully my new car doesn't arrive to quickly.
Why couldn't it have waited a few more weeks before it broke. RUBBISH!
Always the way. I currently have an old Ford galaxy and everything is failing on it. It's got all the lights you can imagine on the windows in the front have stopped opening and one has fallen off the mechanism lolol
I've got a Ford Focus ST3 estate and its not even 4 years old yet. Its been fairly reliable up until now.
They changed a radiator on its last service under warranty due to a small coolant leak that id not even noticed. And it had a big oil leak because they hadn't tightened the oil filter properly after its second service. but apart from that its been ok.
I think its protesting at the fact I'm trading it in LOL!!
Lmao I think they always do. I been telling mine its days are numbered hahaha. Man mine is messed up the auto box is playing up half of the electrics are screwed up. Cant turn off the dash lights cos the computer wont talk to any devices connected to it hahaha. But it starts everytime without fail lolol

I got my 5c this morning so it has left Emden. Tried asking live chat on VW site today what boat is on and they can't tell me, also asked my dealer the other day and they said they don't get that i info. So guess I will just have to wait for next stage.
I'd ring again they can tell you. Just depends who you get. I've had the names of all the boats. Do u know what poet yours is going too. Grimsby Tyne or sheerness
Thanks just spoke to customer services she told me the name of boat just checked it on live tracker and it arrives in port at 1230 today. I had better stat start sorting mud flaps mats and running boards.
Signed the epapers and pick up my Mexican Bandit tomorrow afternoon.
(Assuming it's got area view park assist) :roll:
See you on the other side - as they say!!!
