Date won't be accurate until 4 weeks before the actual build. Until then it can float about depending on how supply of parts from suppliers is progressing.

We've pretty got it all covered here...............

This'll explain the process of how your Scirocco week number will behave as your order is progresses....

Thanks for the info!

Any idea roughly how long the wait is for an R at the moment. I was told 3-4 months but I have seen a few people have waited 6 months

Weren't you given a provisional week build?????? If the system states 12th Feb2012, then its a pretty good estimate.

I would say that is very good, can be 16 weeks or more.

Did the dealer ring you and tell you the week or did you have to ring them?

I called them but they took a couple days to phone back and tell me. Just seems a long time from ordering it to the start of it getting built. Maybe I'm just being impatient lol.
