There was a lot of confirmed build week 37 anybody had build started or do we assume still two week delay.

As BW36ers still aren't getting built, they seem to be 2 weeks behind still. Hang in there.....resist the BMW garage!
-
my bw36 apparently was built yesterday which is still in bw36
-
I'm supposed to be BW37. I've never waited so long for a car - I think I'll be in a straight jacket by the time mine arrives?!
I've been to Specsavers so I can avoid the BMW garage :grin:
-
Living in a small island like Jersey my dealer is VW Audi BMW Mercedes Porsche all under one roof.Difficuilt to avoid other makes!
-

Did VW UK tell you that? Hope it's true! The BW33ers in white weren't late (well there were 2 that weren't that I know about), it was just all the other colours that were.
-
I'm due to be built next week too. Will keep everyone updated...

JsyBrian, when is yours due? wonder how many of us here have ordered them
-
BW 37 here too. Fingers crossed.
-
Hi Lendo I am supposed to be built week 37 delivery who knows how about yourself?
-
Was BW 28, then 34 I think, then it went 32. Expecting it any day now. I see they have a plated demonstrator now.
-
Yes driven it twice very nice.
-
Don't you guys have a maximum speed limit of 40 mph in the Channel Islands?
-
Yes but you can get there as fast as you like ha ha.
-
Don't you guys have a maximum speed limit of 40 mph in the Channel Islands?
In Jersey yes :smiley: but luckily go to Europe a lot with the car
-
JsyBrian, what colour have you gone for?
-
Phew, was beginning to worry for you guys... :grin:
-
All the Build Week thing is driving me mad now. My build has been going on since 16th August and continues, at this rate it will get badged up as a MK8 :angry:
-

We don't have speed cameras though! :wink:

VW only require 30 hours to build your car. They said it so it MUST be true. :evil:
However... they didn't say those 30 hours were consecutive. :whistle:
-
I'm week 37 too, been waiting 24 weeks up to now and will probably be 30 weeks by the time i collect! ;D
New record?? :whistle:
-
Mine is Build week 37, would like it to move to build in progress don't think its too much to ask !!!
-

I think that will be hard to beat as the current long waiters looking to get their car are on 24-26 weeks.
-
Hi Lendo have gone for the very unpopular Limestone Grey only because Jacksons had 2 MK7s in that colour and thought it looked good.I guess most others will be white red or black what about you Lendo.
-
I'm on build week 37 no movement yet
It's been 14 weeks since I ordered , so I cannot moan ,compared to the wait some of you guys have had
-
Much as I hope you chaps on BW37 do get your cars built in week 37 I also secretly hope "Lisa" at VW exec is fielding calls from a number of BW37s who want to know if/when their cars are going to be built. I'm torn two ways, wanting good things for you but bad things for her!
After assuing me my BW37 would "definately" be built during BW37 and then (when pressed on if she could guarantee it) saying that all I could do was "wait and see" I'd like to feel she is eating humble pie now as she made it clear she wasn't impressed when after she said this I wanted to cancel.
"Why do you want to cancel after all this time?"
"It will be built in week 37."
"Well, all we can do is wait and see."
"I have no reason to expect there will be any delays!"
No I'm sure you haven't. Its not like there have been any problems up to this point is it? That's actually why we have these conversations, because we're all so happy that each week there are no issues, and you feel you have call me to discuss the lack of issues.
:rolleyes:
In fact I think Lisa's "assurances" remind me of someone.

Went for white in the end.. just got the call to say it's arrived :smiley:

I have some info on why a lot of us are getting delayed Build In Progress. I had a Week 36 Build Week Confirmed and my Build was to commence on Week Commencing 01/09/13. However my car has not been built yet and the Tracker rolled over automatically on 08/09/13 Sunday morning at midnight. I contacted my dealer and they have had info that the delay of building my car as with many others is actually due to the back log of sorting out the cars damaged in the hailstorm a while ago.
As with many others on this forum I am getting a little frustrated and annoyed with the lack of info. However I have come up trumps as I have wangled some free luxury mats and boot liner out of the delay. Now just to get the car to put them in.
-
Great news on arrival of your car Lendo what build week were you?

BW32. Got some pics to upload when I work out how!
-
Anybody on built week 37 moved onto build in progress yet ? :whistle:
-
Still showing Build Week Confirmed.
-
Still on confirmed, i suspect we'll be on that till sometime next week? :undecided:
-
As above :(
-
Ditto :sad:
I guess that as the factory is running behind, it will change on Sunday whether or not the car is actually being built. My salesman has said some are being built on time but others not without any logical explanation
-
I got a 37 confirmed as well ,still no build in progress ,anyone had a movement :grin:
-
It wont change until tonight if you are bw 37. Check tomorrow morning
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!
I'm in shock! :shocked: :cool:
-
pure white appears to be a good colour to have. they seem to be getting built no problem.
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!
I'm in shock! :shocked: :cool:
Congratulations... not jealous at all that my BW37 is still only "BW confirmed" :wink:
I guess they must build the common colours first then the more exclusive (and faster!) colours later in the week/fortnight or however long they deem a week to be now! :grin:
Hope your shipping is just as fast, would be good for those of us that ordered early to get some good fortune at the end of all this waiting. (Only 23 weeks since I ordered...)
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!
I'm in shock! :shocked: :cool:
Hope it's telling the truth for you mate, that's great news, the more it does things like that though and like my case when I was in build for 26 days I think the tacker is b@llocks :grin:
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!
I'm in shock! :shocked: :cool:
Excellent news Jimble! You have been waiting longer than most so not before time!!
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!
I'm in shock! :shocked: :cool:
Congratulations Jimble!!
My bw37 still says bw confirmed :cry: :cry:
I'm pure white -well my car is anyway -so that is against what a few have said about certain colours being built first??
-
Tend to Agree with the earlier comment "the tracker is Gollocks " bt works within parameters varying between
a day and 3 months accuracy :laugh: :laugh: .
Mine has been confimed 37 for 2-3 weeks ,and still confirmed 37 ,mind could it be last down the line for this week
because of all the extras :undecided:
-
Holy sh!t!!! Mine has skipped the build stage and is now in transit 4 weeks!! Before the end of the bw 37 as well!

welcome to the club jimble , mine did the same on Thursday , I contacted my dealer to confirm it and she says yes it should arrive within 3 weeks !!!!!!
I hope she right :smiley:
-
Well as predicted by others, my confirmed b/w 37 has gone over as of midnight to " Build in progress". So likely to be some time before it is actually built.
So why do I feel a little excited having seen it change and knowing in reality nothing has happened?
-
My confirmed bw37 has now gone to build in progress. No excitement for me though cos I don't believe it. Even vw wouldn't leave in as confirmed bw37 in bw38. So now I guess there's no way of knowing when it will be built :cry:

Mine also went to Build in Progress overnight.
-
Live in the hope chaps that even if the tracker has just changed automatically and it's still not built for 2 weeks, it will get built! It's annoying but at least you know it's on the way!
-
Just recieved a video from VW bloke stripping wires for the Audio speakers :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
No Now gone build in progress (37) so I was right more extras ,or certain extras last down the line ,
least it's not a Fri or Mon Car ,but a Sunday Car ,I will bless it when it arrives ,with a Bottle of Bubbly :cool:
-
At Last build in progress has appeared overnight
-
At Last build in progress has appeared overnight
Hopefully not the Sat to Sun default on the tracker for when your build week has passed but it still hasn't been started. Fingers crossed.
-
Mine has also gone to build in progress at last. Not sure how long before next stage shows.
-
My salesman has confirmed this morning that despite my bw37 car saying build in progress the car has not started production so as suspected the tracker is absolutely useless GRRRRR!!!!
-
My Build week 35, which showed as being built on the tracker, didn't actually get built until week 36, its now been showing as in Transit (4weeks) since the 7th Sept, so it's still sat waiting for a ship, and still no idea when it will be shipped.
-
My Build week 36 is still showing build in progress....
-
Mine has gone to in transit overnight........ Getting closer MAYBE!!!
-
Mine ticked over from scheduled 08/09/13 to build in progress on Saturday night / Sunday morning as we thought many would because they couldn't continue to show 08/09 when the next week had started.
Overnight Tues/Weds it has ticked over to In Transit, so I guess it is now a real physical car not just a dream!! Woo Hoo !! :cool: :cool:
Tracker still says average 4 weeks to reach the dealer though. Does this text change as it reaches Emden and then a Uk port etc ?
-
4 weeks means it's just left the factory and is waiting to be checked in at Emden. 3 weeks is booked at Emden and waiting for a ship. 10 days is on a ship and then UK. my build week 36 changed to 10 days overnight.

Mick can soon sleep easy again, for at least another 3 years! :laugh:
-
Mine has changed to in transit (if I believe it)overnight hopefully not long now. :smiley:
-
Mine hasn't moved yet, so it's quite obviously delayed by a week. Grr.
-
Mines changed to 3 weeks over night so is waiting for a boat!! :cool:
-
My bw37 still says build in progress and my salesman has confirmed it hasn't even been started :cry:
I think VW have killed the last bit of enthusiasm I had left for the car
-
I have had confirmation that... my car is not built yet. I am Build week 36 and they still have not built my car. I am just about holding on to the last strand of enthusiasm but it's getting hard. :sad:
-
Mines changed to 3 weeks over night so is waiting for a boat!! :cool:
mine has done the same jimble :smiley:
looks like we could be on the same boat
-

Mine has also moved to 3 weeks over night and i'm a BW 36er. Its actually starting to feel like I might get this car! :laugh:
-
Similarly my car was ordered start if May and have just had a Build week confirmed of 41 - can't wait - will need to get shopping for G-techniq now
-
This is like watching a Tv series with episodes in the wrong order or on a time delay :shocked: but mine
went to build last day 37 ,showed build till about an hour ago ,now gone in transit ,guessing here but
the system is about a week behind real life :laugh:
-
Will need to get shopping for G-techniq now
“The ultimate finish” website is as cheap as anywhere else for G-Techniq products but has the lowest threshold for free postage that I have seen at £30 minimum spend for free postage.
Your spec looks same as mine + extras. Tornado Red looks great with the C2V3 treatment.

I have finally just been told by my VW Dealer that my car started production today and is at checkpoint 1 of the process. What ever Checkpoint 1 of the process means I am unsure, I suspect it means VW is started to ponder over my cars gutted empty chassis what to do next while having a kit kat and cup of tea :laugh:

If it's anything like my experience it will build and goto transit within 5 days. Good luck buddy!

Cheers Valenni. I hope it does go in to Transit in 5 days, i have not had the best of luck so far.
-
I know checkpoint 3 is waiting for paint. mine was built and shipped within 8 days in the UK in 9 and now waiting for confirmed collection.
-
Thanks Mcmaddy, so my GTI is just a carcass at the moment. Oh well at least it is in progress again :smiley:
-
Hallelujah.... on the last day of BW38 my (BW37) car goes into transit ! :laugh:
-
Mine went into Transit this morning too. I wonder when it actually did get built?
-
Bw39 now and still no sign of my bw37 car being built. This wait seems endless :cry:
-

-
Mine changed to 7 days today, it's in the UK!
Lucky you Valenni! I'm sure you are very excited now? Mine's still build in progress :whistle:
-
Very happy for you guys. Not so happy for myself :angry:
Status changed to 3 weeks sometime last week, indicating it was at port, but no change since, despite the 3 ships that left Emden yesterday for Sheerness, Grimsby and Tyne.
Guess I'll have to wait for the next ship :cry:
-

so best contact your dealer for a more reliable uodate you may be lucky
-
Well, as I posted in another thread my week 37 still hasnt been built and this is confirmed by the dealer.

Same here getting right fed up with this and have told the dealer I may well cancel the order, I don't want to have a car in November might as well place a new order for March 2014 delivery. :sad:
-

Looks like yours and mine were on the same boat mate, mines in the uk as of this morning!! :cool:
-
Changed to 10 days today so I guess it's on a boat. :smiley:
Finished build 6 days ago, went into transit(4 weeks) 5 days ago, changed to in transit (3 weeks) yesterday and in transit (10 days) today. My dealer did say that my car had been "marked for next available slot" when it left the factory so it shouldn't have to wait around long for a place on a boat. Didn't really hold out much hope that it would do any good, looks like I was wrong. :rolleyes:
-
Interesting. Mine went into transit last Saturday and changed to three weeks today.

Cancel it, it's the only way these tossers will learn anything.
BMW have got me a build slot for Week 42!!! Odds on it will turn up before the Golf and from my drive it's a way better car everywhere. Piece of good fortune really.

And mine has disappeared off tracker any ideals ???.... Last update was the 10 day delivery
-

Mine has just disappeared too, though it was at three weeks. Might be a system glitch...
-
updating it again?
-
Mine has disappeared too. Hopefully that does mean they are updating the tracker.
There seem to be a number of vehicle carriers due into and then out of Emden over the next few days, including one already there due to arrive in Grimsby on Saturday. Dare I hope that it's a sign that mine might be on that ? :undecided:
-
Indeed, Schelde Highway, Weser Highway and Autoprestige are all due in Emden within the next 10 hours. Doesn't mean they'll be heading to the UK though. Neckar Highway has just left for Grimsby.
-
Every time the tracker has went down in the past it did not change anything for me. Overnight the changes happen though.
-

So glad to see I am not the only one spending my time tracking and predicting ships in almost real time :grin: :grin: Really should do some work though :evil:
The tracker seems to be back online again, but still showing 3 weeks. As Valenni says, changes to it seem to happen overnight so I'll be checking again in the morning in the (most likely) vain hope that it will have changed to 10 days and that it might land in Grimsby on Saturday morning.
-
Well car is in the country. Spoke to VWUK who quite cheerily said it will be with your dealer on Monday ring them sort out a quick PDI and away you go!!
Dealer said hmmm we'll see about Monday as for you having it your company won't let it out the garage until it's taxed and that can take 14 days from when the car arrived ....... Joy to agony in one phone call!!!
-

That is the biggest load of sh!te I've ever heard in my life (and I've heard some whoppers from VW over the last 5 months) - it gets taxed instantly online when they receive the car and you've picked your reg number via the DVLA website (which they have to do obviously) - the DVLA then post you your tax disc - but the car is taxed straight away. Yet again a dealer telling porkies so that they don't have to do some actual work on a deadline - if they receive your car on Sat/Monday morning there is literally no reason why you shouldn't pick it up Monday evening! Don't accept the bullsh!t - its your car and you're paying good money for it - don't accept w7nky excuses because they're lazy!
-
totally agree with matchboy. sounds like a lazy dealer to me. my tax disc came in the post this morning exactly 1 week after I picked my plate.

My disc still hasn't turned up, and it's been 8 days. Wouldn't surprise me if they forgot to process it :rolleyes:

I only just noticed your footer about the BW. Mine was also stated as 37 for build but only went to "transit" mid week 38. You could be on the boat too :smiley:
-

Mine has changed to 10 days but my dealer reckons no boats are due till the 6th of October have to wait and see.
-
My car is still showing as in build, must have been like that for 3 weeks. Anyone else in this position?
-
Yet again a dealer telling porkies so that they don't have to do some actual work on a deadline - if they receive your car on Sat/Monday morning there is literally no reason why you shouldn't pick it up Monday evening! Don't accept the bullsh!t - its your car and you're paying good money for it - don't accept w7nky excuses because they're lazy!
To be fair the dealer said it was my works leasing department that insist it shows a tax disc.......am going to have a nice chat with them Monday to point out that I've been waiting for this car since April and they want my loan car back .....fingers crossed I can collect end of the week!!!!

That's utter bollocks mate - so the lease department are going to send someone down to view a tax disc?! :rolleyes: It's all done online! Honestly, the porkies some dealers come out with in order to avoid doing some work astounds me.

Hip hip hooray. Whoop whoop.
It has changed to 10 days overnight !!!
:smiley: :cool: :grin:
Dare I get excited now ?
Spoke to the delaer last night who confirmed it had arrived in UK but could not confirm when it would arrive with them, but would probably be this week. The tracker changed to "Arrived in the UK" and 7 Days overnight. Getting excited now :drool: :cool: :grin:
-
Same as mine mate, hope they both arrive with us soon
-
Car arrived at the dealership this morning, pick up this saturday!! Bout friggin time!!! :grin:

Nice one Jimble. I hope to be getting mine soon after you. (Northern Ireland deliveries seems to be longer)
-
Good news Jimble!
Mine seems to be having an extended holiday at Emden :cry: Every time I start getting excited about delivery, VW slap me down :angry:
-
Mine's still in build, think they've gone on an extended tea break and can't find there'r way back to my car. :sad:
-
Just arranged collection for Friday afternoon. Definitely excited now. :grin: The whole weekend to play with it before me and the missus argue over who takes it to work ...
-
Wish I was getting mine this week, still stuck at Emden ! (3 weeks in transit)
-
Mine seems to have got lost from the port to the dealer. Still not arrived there oh well no new car this weekend as hoped :(

hope to see some photos at weekend alleycat as I've also got a 5 door carbon grey on order !

Yeah me too man. Was hoping for a weekender but looks like nil chance for that now. I was told Grimsby was backlogged with registrations I think.
-
Well after nearly 4 weeks in build the tracker has gone to in transit. (B/W 37)
Still concerned how long it's going to take before it leaves Emden. I was really hoping it would have arrived by now but alas it looks like I'll be lucky to see it by the end of the month. That would be exactly what I was quoted when it was ordered, but you know I was hoping it would come earlier :embarrassed: especially when the build week was confirmed.
Oh well better try and put it out of my mind until it actually gets on a boat.
-
Mine is still stuck at Emden :angry:
Had a moan to VWCS. There is a 15 day period given for getting the car on a boat and there's nothing VWUK can do nor can they tell me when. I get more detailed information from Adidas when they ship a pair of trainers from Germany!!!
-
Car arrived at dealer yesterday, has now been PDI'd and is ready for collection. :smiley:
Not going to get it until Saturday afternoon, going to make the wait, see how they like it... :whistle:
-
Yeah, you show them.
The Germans, they don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring !
:grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Well phone call from the fleet department .... Hello I've got some great news for you your cars at the dealers been PDI'd and almost ready to go.
Thanks very much I said tell them i'll be down Saturday morning bright and early. ....... silence
Hmmmmm no you can have it next Wednesday when the tax has come, if it's come please don't shoot the messenger
So I didn't :)
-
I thought newly registered cars didn't need a tax disc to drive off the forecourt?
-
Good evening every one it's my first day on hear. And I been reading some very interesting things about MK7 GTI's + GTD orders. I payed for my car 2weeks ago and still don't have a order number. Can any one tell me if that's normal? And I was told I will get my car march 2014. I'm thinking about pulling out this deal altogether. So could some one shed some light on this for me thanks. :rolleyes:
-
Your dealer should be able to provide an order number within a couple of days of placing the order.
-
Hi dippy thanks for that. I thought the same thing.
-
I got my number a week after placing the order - I had to ask my dealer for it. Have you spoken with them?
-
Yes spoke to day. And was told a couple of days. How long you been waiting for your car? If you don't mind me asking.
-
Since the start of may. This week was my build week and as of this morning it went to transit :smiley:
-
Your so luck :wink: what one did you go for colour and spec ?
-
It has arrived. Picked up this afternoon !
Pictures in the new arrivals thread.
It's worth the wait ...
-
You lucky Lucky man :cool:
-

hopefully ours will be on the same ship John, the Auto Prestige is due into Sheerness tomorrow so fingers crossed for a phone call Monday ?
-
At least yours are out of the factory, mine is still in build, I'm really frustrated eespecially as some people have already taken delivery with BW37.
-
Mine went uk arrived on the tracker today :cool:

what dealership are you buying from John ? Mines on order with Crawley VW (motorline)
-
Mine was BW 37 and has just arrived at the dealer. Can't complain considering that pre-order the ETA was the end of the year...

Mines from Horsham VW (motorline as well) so I guess they are likely to arrive together. It can't be much longer Rob.....
-
And mine is coming from a North London dealer, so perahps it might also be on Autoprestige... On another note, I had heard that it was only Inchcape cars that came via Sheerness. Is this true? I know that Grimsby has been remodelled to receive more vessels and I thought that the bulk of VW imports came via that port. I'd be grateful if someone disenfranchised me of that notion. Not that it really makes any difference whatsoever! It's interesting to note that Grimsby has had a delivery almost every day from Emden, whereas Sheerness has only had one in the last week. My dealer did say to me that he was expecting it in the first 10 days of October. We shall see, I'd love to pick it up sometime next week!
-
Hopefully the transporter stops at Crawley before Horsham ! (Only joking) what have you got on order John ?
-
picked mine up today :smiley:
so pleased with it , I was thinking how smooth the ride was , then found out it was in normal mode not comfort so will have to try that out tomorrow ,
as every one says hang on in there its well worth the wait
on checking my invoice the stealer had tried to charge me twice for the winter pack once for the with leather option
and once for the normal seat option :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
-
What a car though.
-
Mine probably is on Autoprestige due to dock in Sheerness shortly as the Tracker has changed to 10 days.
-
I've got a pure white 5 door GTI manual on order Rob and the tracker has changed to 10days. I hope yours has too. It's getting closer.....
-
Dealer advised on Auto Prestige yesterday. Just arrived d Sheerness.
Hopefully pick up this week.
I am excited
-
Sounds promising for us now then, desperate now as I've been using my daughters new Polo until it was written off this morning !
-
Mine is parked at the back of the dealers looking very nice we went to visit it on Saturday. Finally got to the bottom of the VEL issue. It's not VW it's not our fleet department its actually the leasining company that won't relaease it without a tax disc. So annoying am supposed to be collecting Wednesday but that's dependant on the tax disc actually turning up.
Never mind almost there, little less miles on it when I buy it in two years (depending on how the light fit goes lol)

No still at Sheerness. The transport system is just so random - dealer says anytime up to next Friday!?! Grrrr! At least it's close. Amazing to hear how pleased you are with yours though - it's what makes the waiting bearable :smiley:
-
Definitely John it's fantastic !

I've got some news on my BW37 car, it's being built next week, and I'll have it two weeks after that.
The fact it's a BMW, does that matter?? :grin: :whistle:
-
According to the tracker, my car is now with the dealer. I was expecting to take delviery sometime next week and had already insured it.

Picking mine up tomorrow :smiley:

Just guessing from your sig, but did you buy from White Rose? I saw a car that resembled your spec whilst I was looking at mine yesterday (at their compound) and they said it was going to be collected on Saturday.
If so, it looked really smart!
-
Cheers Moro
It was, it is. Awesome, big smiles all round. 140 miles this afternoon - sun shining. Sussex twisties. Urban skid row on sea, motorways and roman road.
V different ride to scirocco 210 TSI, and the led strips!
I have enjoyed all my VW's and I think this beast from my perspective today, with its tight unused engine, DSG not having my driving signature yet, gingerly exploring its capabilities and a being a tad apprehensive, iwas truly awesome.
White Rose were excellent all round.
Enjoy yours

Just had an email that mine is due to arrive at the dealers (Alan Day on the N. Circular) on Monday. Pick up midweek. Insured and all ready! Looking forward to it...
