Great job! I hope the rear arches on our car comes out as good as yours. 

I treated the front and rear arms when they were fitted and it really does feel like candle wax when set

Thank you so much for the update and yes your order has gone quick thats brilliant, i bet youre excited?

I have no way of tracking anything as i ordered at my local dealer so i literally only have an order number and thats it, if i want an update i have to ring the dealer :(

Yes it has progressed quickly so far, fingers crossed that my next update from the dealer at the start of the October confirms it has been built on schedule, I’d be very disappointed if it ends up being delayed, and particularly if the delay becomes prolonged! I too have to rely on the dealer for updates, although it is possible to get updates from VW live chat during office hours by providing an order number.


How quick yours has progressed id imagine you will be ahead of schedule hopefully they don’t slow down and keep up the current pace! I asked live chat yesterday for an update with an order number and they referred me to my dealer, maybe I’ll ask again tomorrow as I’m not sure if they can tell me anymore than it’s at ended

I’d imagine that with live chat, it is likely to be highly dependant upon who you are chatting with as to wether they get the info for you, or wether they send you elsewhere.


I will try again tomorrow a few times until someone helps me lol

I’d be inclined to think that there is not currently a backlog, I say this as I ordered on August 10th, and it is already at status 20, with a confirmed build week of wk39 (week commencing 23rd September), I do realise this could easily be pushed back, but that was VERY quick, and surprised myself and the dealer!,

Status 38 is ‘released to shipping’ so given the lack of updates, i wouldn’t be surprised if your dealer suddenly calls up and says it’s arrived, the status codes don’t always update as expected and can jump some steps without updating, once on the ship it will take around one week to get to a uk dealer apparently, I’m not sure which port German made VWs enter the UK at, but the closer the dealer is to it the quicker the car will likely arrive.

Status codes-
00 = Assigned to factory order no production week scheduled
10 = Factory ordered with production week scheduled
20 = Factory ordered production week confirmed
30 = In transit from factory
36 = Vehicle in port of exit - not released
38 = Vehicle in port of exit - released to shipping
39 = Vehicle on ship
40 = Vehicle arrival at UK port
60 = Dispatched to dealership
70 = Vehicle arrived at dealership

At least 3 weeks I'd suggest as fastest. Might be longer at the moment.

Thank you, is there a big backlog at the moment then?

Looking for an indie vw garage around Telford to sort out airbag issue. Any recommendations would be really helpful. Many thanks.
