GTI Build Dates - Anyone got one yet?

[pauliem]

I just got the confirmed build date from my dealer, week 33.

Said we should get the car in September.  Week 33 is in August, which is when the factory is shut down, so how are they going to build it?

The dont shut down for the whole of August, I'm wk33 too....

BW33 is the first week back I think; I'm also that week - week commencing 12th August - which means our cars will be started to be built 3 weeks today!  Exciting!!

You aren't far from me Matchboy.  Perhaps we should meet up somewhere scenic when they arrive and do a photo shoot of your red next to my Oryx, would look well cool.

Don't fall for it matchboy!  He just wants to show off that he's got the most expensive colour!

Haha but do you have the 19s pauliem, if not then your fancy paint is cancelled out by my bigger wheels

13 Weeks since ordering and I still have no confirmed build week. I've made it known I'm not very happy to my dealer for the first time as before I didn't really mind as long as it was here for 1st September, but this is looking less and less likely as the weeks roll on.

Well I ordered on May 15th and still processing. Hoping this Thursday to move to a build date. (Or is the Thursday update thing still a guess)?

It all seems a bit random. Has anyone got a GTD with panoramic roof in transit?

3 months and no confirmed date.  Crazy.

No way it will be here for 1st Sept, sorry mate.  My current estimate for mine is first week of October.  That is based off my own calculations, not off VW BS.

ordered my GTD on 3rd April, build week originally wk36, but that became confirmed as wk25. Shown as "in transit" on the Wednesday of the build week and stayed that way for two and a half weeks and then arrived at the dears on the 15th July - 2 days after I had gone overseas for 10 days!!!!!! It's pure white, DSG, leather, pano roof, discover nav, dynaudio and service pack. Picking it up on Wednesday. Dealer says it is receiving loads of positive comments.
