Had a look on the tracker for a laugh, but it can't retrieve my details ("503 service unavailable"). It can retrieve the details on some random non GTI/GTD orders I inputted though - updates imminent? It's probably just changing my paint colour officially rather than giving me an accurate build date! :angry:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

The tracker has been playing up the last few days, a lot of the time it's been unavailable. I'm going to take this as a good sign that they're updating it for all our build weeks!  :laugh:

I've updated mine and the original post by mr GTD for future reference...

Just noticed your updated spec details. Looks like we've both ordered 5 door GTi's (DSG) with PP & DCC in Pure White around the same time (you a day earlier than me).

However there does appear to be a significant difference between our 'estimated' build weeks (27 vs 35), possibly due to the other optional extras you've ordered. I'm guessing it's most likely the 'Pano Roof'??? (Could be talking a load of old rubbish mind you)

It may be the roof or the that i added the PP at a later date, can't remember the date mind? :embarrassed:
I've mentioned previously that it's not a massive issue for me with it being a little longer as i didn't want it till sept 1st anyway, it just means another couple of weeks wait if it doesn't come forward a little, tbf though i'm not really gonna suffer driving my mk6 for a couple more weeks! :grin:

I know a few of the guys are getting a little annoyed which is fair enough but i waited 6 months for my current car when the same sort of thing happened with the mk6 orders, so nothing new to me!

I'm in no rush either.

I'll be really, really sad to see my mk6 go.

WOW

Just had a call from my dealer who tells me my GTD has been allocated build week 33.

Thats Mid august, so I'll be lucky if I get it by end of september.

Gonna wait and see what the website tells me to see if they have been told duf info yet again.

Not a happy bunny!!!

Hi Guys,

I sent an email to my dealer on Friday requesting an update on delivery.

Anyway, having being orginally given a week 33 build, I am now told it has been brought forward to week 27, however they stressed it cannot be confirmed until probably week 22. Roll on the next two weeks !!!

I hope for once that this is right and all orders have been moved forward now VW have pulled themselves together.

Wk27 is the worst possible time for me so I hope not!  Its still a long time away, but not long enough to get the 63 plates or to save enough to significantly reduce the amount I need to borrow.  Most of the wait and no benefit. :angry:

I want it now or September...

Mine is due to be built this week, going by the info the dealers gave me a couple of weeks ago. I'll keep you guys posted on what I hear!

Bill: I'm in the exact same situation. Unless the car is coming mid Aug I don't think the dealer would be too pleased to keep it until Sep 1st.
