Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they said things would be confirmed in wk22, just they won't be confirmed before wk22?

As I understand it you get a confirmed BW  approximately 4 weeks before the build.  So its unlikely anyone except those being built wk26 or earlier will know yet.  Also if you've heard nothing that means you can be pretty sure you are wk27 or later.  :cry:

This is my issue Bear. I was told BW26 and therefore I should have been given a confirmed BW today!  :angry:

VW told me that people would find out w/c 27th May as thats when all the orders would be allocated build slots. I know its only 1st day of w/c 27th but i thought someone might have had a change.

What do they mean by "all the orders"?  Did they say anything else to you?  I wonder if this means they've mapped out the next few months of builds, or they planned to do so by now.  Could be they were optimistic when estimating to have done this by 22.  Could also be that the website is useless.

I checked mine online just now.  Still says processing.  Before the weekend I asked VW twitter to find out what is going on with my order as the dealer keeps putting my estimated BW back again and again while saying it will "hopefully" come forward.  I'm currently estimated wk37 which seems odd as there are a couple of very very similar spec cars ordered after mine estimated around wk26-27.  Don't know what to believe.  Twitter guys said they will get back to me Wednesday.

Exactly! The tracking for my dad's GTD went to "confirmed build week" last Thursday, and it was also the day the tracker updated my colour change. As VW UK said my dad's was expected to build week 25 and mine in 26, i'm expecting mine to becme "confirmed build week" towards the end of this week on the tracker. Anyone expecting their build week to be 26 will probably hear this week, 4 weeks ahead of time, and anyone expecting week 24 or 25 has hopefully seen their tracker status change already.

I would expect anyone getting built in week 28 to see it on the tracker in week 24, week 34 to hear on week 30 etc etc.
