The current situation at Emden will be a factor in how quickly your car is shipped to the UK. Article at the link below is dated two months ago, so things may have improved.Finally at Emden after a 3 week delay waiting for parts, anyone got any realistic idea on shipping times from this point on? I’m expecting 3-4 weeks now hopefully.
I’m very much hoping things have improved! Nearly 21 months waiting so far so hopefully I’m near the end either way - just hoping it comes in time for existing car insurance not to need renewal!The current situation at Emden will be a factor in how quickly your car is shipped to the UK.

Once it’s in the UK, typically it can take up to two weeks to be delivered from the UK port side storage compound to the dealership - actual timescales will be influenced by factors such as availability of transporter vehicles, distance of dealership from port, number of cars to be transported.
Golf GTE, I’m guessing you ordered a GTD by your previous posts? I was told 3/4 weeks but who knows really! Fingers crossed anyway as it’s getting quite annoying at this point. I hope yours comes soon! And thanks Rayaans, I hope you’re happy with it, might wanna blur your plate though just so no nasties can clone it@HugoGT i was told by my dealer 3 to 4 weeks wait to get to the dealership but took 7 weeks it’s taken me 18 months wait for my car what have you ordered ?

Hi all. I am brand new to the forum.
I currently have a GTI Clubsport on order with 19” Adelaide’s, winter pack and rear camera. I placed the order in March 22, to replace my Tiguan R-Line. I still do not have a confirmed build date and must admit that I am getting a little concerned with the 8.5 coming out in 2024 that my order will be affected if they do not continue the Clubsport.
Very good point.Why are you concerned? It'll either continue in which case youll get the updated car. Or they'll discontinue it and give you the option of a refund of deposit or a GTi

Production at VW’s Wolfsburg factory - where the Golf is built - has been running behind schedule for some time now as VW play catch-up to clear the large backlog of o/s orders. If your confirmed build week was week 22, it sounds as if production is still running a few weeks behind. The last I read - I think it was on this forum a few weeks ago - was that production was running around 4 weeks behind schedule.; if that’s still the case, then assuming that build weeks align with calendar weeks, we’re currently in wk25, which would mean your car would be built next week.Hi, long time lurker, first time poster.
Has anyone got any experience with confirmed build dates still showing in the past?
I have a golf R-line estate on order (from July 22). I received the confirmed build week of wk22 in March. Spoke to the dealer wk23 and car was still showing confirmed build date wk22. Spoke to them this week and they are saying the car is still showing confirmed build date as wk22......
TIA
