Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

VW Customer Services have just phoned me to say that build week 27 essentially corresponds to the annual month off at the VW production factory, and it is likely the car will not then ship until the end of August. So for anyone who has a build week round this time, I presume it means the same for t...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Did you select the VW finance option 'Solutions' - £1000 contribution and 4.9% APR - this is what I did and I am now wondering what will happen about this. On the phone they tell me that everything is as we agreed back in February, but with everything else that has occurred, I am slightly dubious ab...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

I've got a 2.0 TDI 140 on order, due to be built build-week 16. Have just been told I'll be refunded the cost of Sat Nav and Multi steering wheel I'd ordered as extras, and my car will still have ACC (which is now an optional extra across the range), but will still have the "originally ordered...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

So my car ordered on Feb 9th has now just been pushed back from build week 18 to 27..... Wondering if by the time it arrives it will be a 62 plate or maybe a 13? VW Customer Services have just phoned me to say that build week 27 essentially corresponds to the annual month off at the VW production fa...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Heard today - all sorted at no extra cost at all! They said the new car was a £500 premium but I am price protected due to my order date.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

I have telephoned VW today to ask them about the status of the updates with previously ordered Scirocco's. Although my car has an anticipated build week of 18, despite my order form stating delivery in "early April", VW can not confirm whether the car will actually come with the new update...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Just looked at the contract I signed - I can cancel it without penalty and obtain a refund Very annoying - at least the economy isn't down the toilet to the point where companies can turn down £22,000 orders..... left, right and centre by the looks of it. Shame as I just bought loads of accessories ...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Just been told my car will be pushed back to build week 20, having ordered it at the start of February I think this is completely unacceptable. Has anyone else been placed in this situation? What have people done about it? What is the 2013 specification? I personally expect either a substantial disc...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

I have just been told my build week is 15 - considering we are on build week 9 and I ordered mine a month ago, this is annoying! First was promised delivery early April, then mid April, then late April now early May..... Wish I could be so non-committal at work.....

Re: Insurance

My insurance for a 2TDi GT BMT was about £410 - swift cover - the cheapest one I could find
Thats parked in a garage, does less than 10,000, 8 years no claims.

Enquired about the premium with and without a cobra tracker - exactly the same price!

Re: Rear View Camera

Could someone post an idiots guide of what to get and how to install with pictures please :)

12 plate scirocco on order - due April - has parking sensors fitted, but a camera would be pretty nice

Anyone in the Derby or Bristol a dab hand at the old scirocco mods?

I am not fussed where the money comes from - as they say in Lock Stock £100 is still £100, or in my case £1000
