yousif Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm still waiting for my GTI to be built on week 47, Can't wait. Does any one have photos of the stages of building the GTI in the factory? How many day does it take to build one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Actual final assembly seems to take exactly a week. So, your build will have been completed at end of week 47 but then you've got checks and shipping to UK and then possibly another week at least. Enjoy you wait suffering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTiMK5 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I hope it won't be shipped to UK because that will cause an extra delay. Think the clue is in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yousif Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks Red Robin. the question is how can I get rid of wait suffering? Specially with final exams end of year, the can is expected to arrive first week of January. Can you imagin what I'll do if the car arrives before I finish my exams!! Complete disaster. I think I'll even wait more than you do in the UK as my GTI has to be shiped to Bahrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 How to get rid of "wait suffering"? - No-one can help you!! We all went through it so you have to too!! It's part of the 'initiation. But, joking apart, you'll appreciate her (the GTI) more when she comes - Bespoke and made just for you rather than off-the-shelf. You can tell by reading the posts on here that the last few weeks are the worst....Aren't they, mu and a few others. Sorry about missing you are in Bahrain (I haven't been there for a while)....Was in a hurry. You'll get lots of info and help from everyone here at TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW said it can take up to 2 weeks (I suppose it is all dependent on spec). Anyhow, won't be long now. Linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHArtMart Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Or you could be lucky , like me, (sorry Leman!!) and have a week 42 car that arrives at the dealer within 2 weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 anyone got anymore naked pics of the mk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB6Vantage Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 The other thing to consider is that a week has 5 working days...so it could be built on friday and make the wait even longer....Mine is also a week 47 car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think that's what's happened in my case, however i think they also work saturday's because mine reached check point 8 on Sat 29th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_Driver Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Lads, no more of the pictures with car bits all over the place.. it just makes me think how many things can go wrong with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB6Vantage Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Saturdays?? In a German car factory?? In VW?? I am impressed!! I thought Mr. Schroder et al. had completly ruined their country!! There might be some hope in Europe after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] ....That image had the same effect on me at first but then I got to thinking just how good the manufacturers are in bringing it all together. We shouldn't always cane them for the smaller faults (providing they put them right under warranty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
