Mine is still saying build week confirmed and it has a build week of this week. Surely it has to be started today to truly be a BW33 car?

Same, those vw boys better hope its their tracker that hasn't been updated yet else they best get a move on and better not rush it either!

Same for me too.  BW33 my ar7e.

Hi all,

Mine is confirmed BW 33, but have been checking the tracker every day this week and it’s still showing as Build week confirmed, emailed my dealer today, he didn’t seem too surprised that it’s not showing as anything other than BW confirmed, maybe it’s a 7 day working week and they will make a start on a lot of them over the weekend?

Cheers,
Phil

I have been away on holiday for 2 weeks and noticed the new tracker format come online a few days ago. The status had gone to "with the factory" but no further. Was originally estimated week 40 and then told week 35 then told "confirmed week 37".

Emailed the dealer on Friday for an update as I was getting ready to fly home from the USA. He replied on Sat morning saying it had been put back 2 weeks, probably because of the rear camera issue (but mine would still have a camera).

Checked the order tracker on Sat night and it has changed to "build week confirmed 08/09/2013" which I think is week 37.

Great to have the tracker showing a confirmed build week at last which agrees to the last-but-one dealer update. The only niggling question is why the dealer said it had been put back 2 weeks in his email yesterday ? He did say he had just returned from holiday as well so maybe he was just working off old information/was too busy to check the system properly/other.

Let's hope he doesn't have access to something that shows it is actually 2 weeks later than the "build week confirmed" tracker which is showing week 37.

Paranoid, moi? :smiley:

Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.  :laugh:

Good news allycat45, but as we have seen, a build week 37 could be that, or it could be 38...don't know what or who to trust these days when it comes to VW!

 :grin: I'm glad you did Craig!! I usually check the tracker first but I did all my other stuff (email, twitter etc) before looking at the tracker as didn't want to wind myself up when it hadn't changed - typical! Very excited now, the next 4 weeks are going to be awful  :laugh:

Any news on MH?!

Mine too - is that all the BW33ers now in build (or even in transport for one lucky so and so)?

Hoping my dealer can pull a few strings to make mine a 2 week delivery - dealership is 8 miles from the dock, I am about 1.5 miles away and can see all the big ships coming into the Tyne from my house.
