Title: Continued access to order tracker for all those that love to refresh!
Post by: pauliem on 09 August 2013, 12:45
Hi,

If you want to see the latest order tracker updates you will obviously be having the issue that it is not available.  However if you go to:

http://pre-live.volkswagen.co.uk/owners (http://pre-live.volkswagen.co.uk/owners)

You will find that it continues to function as normal.   :smiley:

I read the javascript that does the website tracking and they are using the same code to track a number of websites.  They also have another preview site, but it does not appear to be any different from production.

The knowledge on this forum never ceases to amaze me!  Great find, unfortunately I've not nicked Gryzor's build slot as I was hoping to  :evil: :laugh:

Haha yesssss thats my afternoon sorted  :smiley:

Ha seriously though, nice find thank you  :smiley: That link wouldn't expand the owners menu for me so I had to manually suffix the track order bit to the URL. I'm on IE10 so maybe its IE 10 not working with their pre prod environment.

Nice find though, heres the link I used for others who might suffer on IE10

Ha, work PC so not my choice, although even as a developer I don't think IE is all that bad, perhaps I've been corrupted too much by the dark side.

I think I could use a few lessons from you mate, I can't seem to find the javascript you're on about lol  :cry: - more bothered that I can't find that now than checking the tracker lol  :laugh:

Yes!  Poor s0d has suffered more than most!  The irony that if he has gone to confirmed after coming back from a 2 hour test drive in a M135i would amuse me :grin:

Good news all the BW36ers getting confirmed on schedule. It would suggest to me that VW are on track in the building schedule and most of the BW33ers (Friday cars excepted) can look forward to getting their finished cars out to Emden  between the middle and end of next week.

I ordered before almost everyone on here and nothing!! Surely a moderator should get some kind of preferential treatment?? No.....? :rolleyes:

Might just ban all those with BW's until mine goes confirmed? I can't stand all this happiness! :laugh:


I'm pleased for you really....GGRRRR

Hehehe, thanks chaps, though I think Jimble and Brenbo have waited a couple weeks more than me.  They're just making less rant posts than me!

I just handed the M135i back :cry: and will post me thoughts BMW vs VW very soon. Now I go check the tracker.

Aww bugger, still "processing". :sad:
Title: Re: Continued access to order tracker for all those that love to refresh!
Post by: pauliem on 09 August 2013, 18:26
I wish they would come up with something more imaginative that "processing".  I hated looked at that "processing" screen.

Not that "Build week confirmed" is that much more interesting.

Am more than a little disappointed still showing as processing despite VW UK guaranteeing I was BW 36 could well be a rant on the phone tomorrow !!! (Knew it was a mistake to test drive one this week just makes the waiting harder)

Sucks mate, but to be fair, they can't "guarantee" it no matter what.  I've not bothered with a test drive, don't need to, and want the first time I drive one to be in mine!

Still processing... :sad:

Actually if its stuck on processing this week I'm not so bothered.  I'm out of the country and mulling if I should stick it out, ask to drop half my options, or cancel and pick up an M135i.  Problem is I can't decide!

Yeah I was tempted to go for the c-class coupe 250 as they had one in stock and I also looked at the BMW 1 and 3 series options, but they just did not give me that same 'desire' when I looked at them in comparison to the GTI / GTD. I say wait dude. You will have it for 3 years at least so make sure you get the car you want.

My dealer in Boucher said they were only allocated 1 GTI and 2 GTD's per month? And they are a big dealer.

Well since the online tracker has now changed to 'build week confirmed' since yesterday or so, I expect about 4 weeks from now for build, then another 3 weeks for delivery maybe? The dealer said about week 36 for build, and delivery about mid to late September.

I imagine that's about right. (But it may be week 35 for the build now, I can hope)  :wink:

What about yourself?

Well the dealer in Boucher (i.e. the same one!) told me that I was the first GTD customer to order. Additional orders he's taken are coming in as build week 41 (mine's 36).
