I went to my local dealer today to see wtf on earth was happening with my car. Yes they told me the wait would be long. But I don't give a sh!t. I want it now if I'm being honest, waiting around isn't my strong point!

Anyway, GTD aside he said the demo GTI would be at the dealer by the end of this month.

It sounds like GolfTI will be the first UK member to get his car with a build week of 25. I'm week 26 but mine has to come a little further north...

Just got a confirmed build week of 24!!!

Can you tell us all when your order was accepted by VW UK (when you got your tracking number, if you got one) and what your spec is? I'm hoping that mine will also be early doors as I was first to order from my dealership (ordered 39th March, order processed and accepted by VW UK 30th March, standard spec 5DR). Hopefully my change in paint colour a few weeks ago hasn't bumped me down the queue.

Has your dealer confirmed this date or was it VW themselves?

Indeed this is the question.  Because according to VW no build dates will be confirmed until next Monday.  It may well be provisional though, which means it will be unlikely to change - so lucky you!!

I looked on the VW tracker, and it now says build week confirmed, however it does not say which week.

I contacted the dealer then and they looked and came back with week 24.

So completely the opposite against what VW has told some of us!  :rolleyes: Thanks for the info Dave.

My dealer e-mailed me on Saturday, and as of that date, there was no news of a build date, and told again that week 22 onwards is when we'll start to see some traction.

For the rest of us, not having an update on the tracker might not mean anything - we've all seen to varying degrees how sh!te it can be, from my Dad's number with the wrong colour assigned to the car to those whose order changes are not seen, to others whose tracking number doesn't work.  If time of ordering, your place within the dealership's allocation queue and few or no options has the biggest bearing then there are some here who should be also getting their cars built as soon as week 24 (I have a few days on you for order placed Dave)
