I know this has been asked many times before but i forgot and looked but gave up :drool:
How long did it take from the dealer putting your car onto the ordering system did it take them to get a build week back from VW?

We ordered the car at the weekend, were told a provisional date, that day (week 38). On the Monday the build date was confirmed as week 42. I have checked with the dealer recently and it still at the same build week, with a chance it might get done sooner.

I ordered my car on 15 July and was told sometime in September, I never even received a build week.  On 1 Sep I received an email stating that the car has been build and waiting in Emden, DE for shipping to the UK. 

So hopefully I will be able to pick the car up before the end of the month, which make it around 10 weeks.
