Well, this is the answer I got about the original date......

"He has asked 2 different departments what the “Original Date” means as he didn’t know (he has been with VW for at least 15 years!) and so far nobody at VW UK has been able to tell him what it means but they are coming back to him."

The other remark i got was this.....

"No news yet.  My VW man has called VW UK again and things it will get a Confirmed Build week “very soon” but who knows."

Very soon.....hmmmmm

 :whistle:

Hi,

I'm shafted. Lease company won't tell me who the dealer is or the VW order number. Is there any way (inside contacts?) I can get the actual VW order number? - Any help really appreciated ( I'm wondering about just calling each dealership in turn but that might cost me a fortune for nothing).

Thanks, Neil.

Why wouldnt the lease company tell you the dealer? Thats a bit weird!

Insist, if they refuse, take business elsewhere....if thats a possibility. If not, call the lease company, ask to speak with a customer service manager and explain your thoughts and feelings.

I work for the bank that lease company is part of and it seems like internally at least they won't release the details. I don't want to kick up a fuss seeing as they are fellow employees and probably following some policy or other.

I doubt they are following a policy, i cant see any reason why they wouldn't say.

They wont give you the order number because that will tell you the dealer!
