If you get anything other than 'Processing' then you'll be lucky!  :laugh:

I had to seriously hassle my dealer for one.  Tell them you've phoned VW UK and they can't understand why you haven't been given an order number, and that you would like him to check that the order has gone through at Germany's end correctly - this worked for me.

Well the GTD still isn't showing up as expected on the VW Tracking website. Not surprising considering I only placed my order last Thursday.

However the Wife's Polo Blue GT DSG (ordered at the same time), is not only showing up, according to the dealer it's scheduled for build 20th May (Just over a month from order), so consider that pretty good.

Shame then that we've asked the dealer to keep the Polo and only deliver on the same day as the GTD  :grin:

Well I've just tried entering my order number, hit submit, and it's not been recognised!

Contacted my dealer, to check my order number, she said it was correct but won't show up on the tracking website until a build week has been allocated.

So, at the moment I can't even check if my order is processing.

Humph!

That's nonsense.  I had the same issue for a couple of days, and now its working and says 'Processing.'  If your dealer was right and it didn't show up on the website until a build week has been allocated then what is the point of having a 'Processing' bit?!

Think it took 3 working days for mine to work, so keep checking!

What number order have you guys got?

Are they in a global/UK numerical sequence, or some sort of dealer number sequence?

Haven't a clue mate. I've just been given an order number by my dealer.

As I said I've tried to track my order on the VW site but it only returns the following message:

"Sorry, we can't find this order number. Please check your order tracking card and try again or contact your retailer."

Just a thought please don't be offended if I am insulting your intelligence. 
Have you manually put in your order number, or cut and pasted it from either email or other means.
The reason I ask is for some reason, if I cut and paste my order no from the email I received from the
dealer I get the same message as you.  If I manually enter it I get the correct info.. Strange .. Just a thought..

No offence. I entered my order number manually (no cut and paste from email). I also got my dealer to check the order number and they assure me it's correct. They've basically said it won't show up until a build week has been assigned. Humm, a bit fishy that as others are getting to the "progress" stage without a build week which nobody has been assigned yet.

You need to check with your dealer that the order has definitely been put through, it may be that they haven't been given an allocation for the first batch or that they have and its been given to an earlier order (if there was one).  Bottom line is that it should say processing if its been received by VW - if you've waited a week and it hasn't gone on then something is amiss.  Don't let them fob you off - I'm not denying the order tracker will be for sure be inaccurate once the car is given a build week and beyond - but the first stage of processing will come up if the order has been put through.  Otherwise it literally is pointless.

I ordered yesterday and got my order number about 30 minutes later, it wasn't showing up on  http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/track-my-order yesterday (as expected), but already it's on there today processing.  :smiley:

Not sure why it says Upholstery: Titan Black and not Red Jacara?  :sad:

There is an "order no." on the "vehicle sales order form" that I have to sign and also in the letter that arrived with it.  Yet, when I plug it into that tracker site it still says "Sorry we can't find this order number.  Please check your order tracking card and try again or contact your retailer."

This is what most of you are also getting right?

I got my number via email about 30 mins after ordering, and then today reveiced this card with my order number for checking the order online:

I can't see this number on any of the paperwork apart from that card.

Wow thanks for the pictures!  Thats not what I have got, it was just a letter from the dealer together with a form to sign and return.  I'll email them and ask, cheers.

Bill: What form are you having to sign? To accept the order? If so then the order may not have actually been placed with VW UK yet until you've signed whatever it is you've got. Only when the order is accepted by VW UK will you get an order number that works. Incidentally there is no sign of new pricing on the VW UK website for the May 1st price rises in either the GTI/GTD range or normal Golf range.

Its just a list of the vehicle, options, my name address and contact info etc...  Same thing you sign off if you do it in person at your local dealer.

Ok here is what the dealer told me (first time I've bought from VW and first time ordering on the phone instead of in person):

My order number has never worked on the VW website either if that makes a difference to anyone.
Having sat through and watched the Scirocco launch debacle then the mk6 GTI debacle from the sidelines I'm just going to sit here and watch this unfold!!!

I ordered via broadspeed, the dealer is  Corkhills

Both very helpful, however

The order number does not come find anything on the site and VW uk cannot find it on their system.

Allegedly I have to @just wait@ as its in a holding place and will show up within a couple of weeks once it is processed.

Again, why have a processing stage.

I think I may have got a great price but could be waiting a long time for the car!
