Could those that have ordered, please let me know how long it took from when you placed your order till you got your build week ?

I'm 3 weeks in and I don't have mine yet, not sure if thats the norm or not.

Obviously they have an amount of cars per week that they can build. Im sure as the orders come in they just fill the production week quota, Then move onto filling the next. I assume that there is already a large backlog of orders coming in.

That wasnt the question. I'm looking to find out when you got told of your build week from when you placed your order.

A few posts up (on Page 1)  I said that I was gonna ask for my build week today.

VW HQ give the build dates... If they haven't given your order a slot in production, then they won't tell your dealer a date, so they won't be able to give you a date.

It also depends on what options your ordering on the car. Obviously a Silver or Black car with just simple options like 18" wheels and DSG are gonna be more readily avaliable (possibly even built somewhere already) than a car with a huge spec sheet like ACC, Sat Nav, Leather, Luxury Packs etc....

So roughly 3 weeks from being completely built until it is delivered to the customer?
I take it 2 of those weeks is for transport and a week is being prepared at the garage?

Anyone know how long they actually take to build?
I read in someone's post it was 2 days! Is this correct?

Ordered on 19th July (Sunday) when dealer tried to put it in the system it came back with no allocations available, but he originally told us week 38. Next day it was put into the system, and got a build week of 42 (looks like he put it under his August allocation)  :cry:
