I'm told BW34 for my GTD ordered on 19.05.13

Linc-dub... Confirmed or estimated BW?

Mine was ordered 9.4.13 and I still have heard a dickie bird. Needless to say the phone will be on speed dial to my dealer next week :cry:

My dealer has confirmed today I'm still showing BW26.  He did confirm however that my GTI will be the first the dealership receives, which is good.  However just shows that the first car they are getting is 4 weeks later (in terms of build week) than originally predicted by VW, and this is a pretty big dealership.  VW are clearly behind in their production for the UK it seems.

I oredered mine on 2nd April so it may be true about all gtd's having the same build wk of 34. Hope not as its turning out to be misrepresentation here!!

I'm not sure it is really behind.  BW24 is still the earliest anyone has isn't it?  I'm guessing a lot of the week 22 and 23 cars might be more demos or something?

No, they are definitely behind.  GTI's were supposed to start production BW22, the demos should all ready be made and ready for 1st June in the showroom.  I know BW24 is the earliest we have on here but it should have been BW22!  :laugh: :rolleyes:

I tried ringing VW UK up for my build date (projected or complete guess) and the system is down. They're supposedly going to ring me back tomorrow morning when they hope the system is back up.

If my build week does end up being considerably sooner than mcmaddy's then it would lend credibility to limited order assignments per dealership, e.g. If mine was week 24 (or 25/26), my dad's was 29 (or 30) and mcmaddy's is 34, then we're talking about a real 1 per month/5 weeks allocation per dealership (assuming my dad's order just pipped mcmaddys on same day). @mcmaddy i'll pm you my dad's order no so you can let me know whether yours if before his or after.

German efficiency and reliability lacking here on the order system.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

You are getting me worried now!

I was the third person to order a GTi from my dealership.
