sburke1 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello All. Where is the R built? My order is via VW in Cork, Southern Ireland? How long on average can it be from order to delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt R Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 It will be built in Wolfsburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Delivery time varies greatly! I ordered my .:R in July last year and was told at the time that I was "guaranteed" delivery in September. I ended up taking delivery of the car on November 25th.

sburke1 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Burble, Did you ever get an explanation as to wat delayed it? Thats shocking..I would imagine your stealer shipped some serious grief over it..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Nope, they didn't give me a reason. I got a bit fed up because they only told me about the delays when I chased them for a delivery date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke1 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 That really is shocking. I once brought my GTi to the dealer I bought it from for a routine service. Asked the man at the service desk to have two five minute jobs done for me on vagcom. He clenched his teeth and told me in no uncertain terms that he didn't have time to deal with that type of thing that day. I promptly swiped my keys back off him and never darkened their doors again. Dealers are so thick. Not only have they missed an order for a new .:R but also the few grand profit they would have made on selling on my GTi..

Golfgirl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 [ QUOTE ] It will be built in Wolfsburg. [/ QUOTE ] I thought all R32's and V6's were built in Bratislava? The definitive way to tell is wait until it arrives and check the VIN number and the 11th digit represents where it was built:- A Ingolstadt Germany B Brussels Belgium C Taipen Taiwan D Bratislava Slovakia E Emden Germany F Ipiranga Brazil F Resende Brazil G steyr Daimler puch Austria H Hanover Germany J Jakarta Indonesia K Osnabruck Germany M Puebla Mexico N Neckarsulm Germany P Mosel Germany R Martorell Spain S Salzgitter Germany T Sarajevo Yugoslavia U Uitenhage South Africa V Westmoreland USA V Palmela Portugal W Wolfsburg Germany X Poznan poland Y Navara/Pamplona Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burble Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I just looked and the 11th digit of the VIN for my .:R is W, so it was built in Wolfsburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfgirl Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 They must have changed it then because all of the Mk 4's were built in Bratislava along with the V6 4Motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsko Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Mine was built in Bratislava. (Mk IV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Was the MK4 platform the same as the first TT because that was built in eastern Europe iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Daft question, but is the R32 a limited build? How many are planned for production Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Nope, it isn't a limited build although when I bought mine the dealer told me they get an allocation of how many they can sell which at the time was roughly 1 per month for them.
