Technical Issue with Scirocco Apparently

Hey how are you all doing?

So here is the story ordered the car 21 March 09 and meant to take delivery 1st July 09, this was pushed back a couple of weeks due my slot at the factory being bumped down. Acceptable. So I am still waiting for my car which was in Zurich last week Wednesday 8th July. So I have been pushing the dealer to get my car and get it to me.

Anyway I get an email today saying that there is a technical problem with a few Scirocco and they are unsure when I am going to be getting it and he will let me know this friday.

I called the dealer and requested that he tells the what the technical issue is , he said that a few sciroccos with NAV installed something to do with the GPS they think and they are waiting for a part. Now this sounds a bit out of the ordinary to me as I am sure that this would have failed inspection along the chain before being passed on to the dealer's central dispaching area?

Has anyone anywhere had their delivery delayed due to a 'Technical' problem? something just does not sounds right with this picture. Or a VW trying to by some time as they have done something wrong as in not fitted the NAV or the wheels or the engine?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I just want my car i see others around and I am super jealous mind you they are the baby ones :shake: :shake:

Sounds plausable, i doubt they check every function of the sat nav on every car at the factory.

Hard to say

But i ordered mine (in France) on 21st March too, with satnav, and it's at the dealers, I'm picking it up Friday

I'll let you know if I have any issues
