Delivery time for FR with sunroof

[rob3000]

Does anyone know what the situation is concerning delivery times for the new FR's that have been ordered with a sunroof?

Was talking to a broker today about placing an order for a new 184 FR with a sunroof and he said that he thought the earliest delivery date would be January. Apparently they are having production problems at the factory.

Anything without a sunroof would be end of October ish.

All I know is there has been a 4month delay for cars ordered with a sunroof. That has been the case since at least May. I ordered mine early July and the dealer called me up to warn me that the sunroof was going to hold back delivery until around November time.

When I ordered my Speed Blue Metallic FR TDI Leon it was delivered in 4 weeks, I suggest that you speak to the dealer on a regular basis for an update. Delivery dates can vary from time to time depending on various build options as required.

Ordered a 2.0 TDI 184 FR yesterday, the dealer spoke to the head of production and was told to add 10 weeks on to the delivery time of anything with a sunroof.

My dealer told me the same thing. Fortunately there was an FR 1.8TSI in the country with a sunroof & a few options I weren't overly fussed about but took them anyway (convenience pack etc.) He reckoned it's because they get so few orders of them and they are special parts... but then you'd think they'd take that into consideration when offering the feature on the car... oh well.

The one that flagged up for me was already in the country at the import centre (or whatever they call it) so I'll get it within 3 weeks. Other than that it was ordering from the factory which he said could be as late as February as there's already a queue because of the factory being closed at the moment.
