Who else is in the BW40 Club?
Lets compare notes to see whose car is built when and more importantly what date do we all take delivery of our motors on?
-
BW40 here too. With my car being priority tagged I'm expecting it to sail through manafacture and be in transit this time next week (yeah right!).
-
I'm BW 40 too.
I'll keep you chaps posted on the situation blow-by-blow.
However, from tracking other BW threads nothing seems to happen in your "actual" bw! Either that or the tracker is woefully behind schedule.
From what I've heard it may be better to call your dealer during the build next week to get an accurate picture.
All fun and games :rolleyes:
-
Yeh - unfortunately me thinks it will be a case of who waits the longest past the build week to having the car acutally built and of course that is then before the time taken to ship to the UK (Grimsby for me) and then time to dealer before they can PDI it and I can get me mits on it! :huh:
-
ME!!!
I'm build week 40. Been nervously waiting for this moment to arrive. Hopefully we will all have our motors by the end of Oct/early Nov :whistle:
-
Another BW40 here
Just hoping the tracker updates this week.....not holding my breath
-
So its officially BW40!
-
Still build week confirmed for me, maybe was a little keen checking the tracker at 6.50am though :grin:
-
johanr 77 - same for me, although I expected nothing different at this early stage!
-
johanr 77 - same for me, although I expected nothing different at this early stage!
Ditto. No movement this morning. Didn't expect it - but quietly hoped :wink:
-
I think we'll be lucky to see an update before next Sun!
-
Aye wishful thinking on my part.
It's a sad day just away to say goodbye to my MK6 GTD and welcome a bluemotion estate loan car until the mk7 turns up.
-
BW39s changed to build in progress yesterday so I expect yours will change next Sunday :smiley:
-
Can I believe the Tracker???
My car has gone from BW confirmed to In Transit this morning - never even touched the In Build tab! :wink:
Good news potentially - anyone else in BW40 had an update?
-
That's good news linc-dub. I would believe the tracker change but follow up with a call to your dealer who will be able to confirm. What was your spec? If its pretty vanilla then it might explain the quick build. Just checked my status but no change for me.
-
Aye still on the build week confirmed point for me.
Mine is a red 5dr with the winter pack and reversing camera, not sure if they schedule them so they have similar cars going on the line at the same time.
-
Reversing camera and ACC were the only additions to the original spec.
My dealer phoned yesterday to confirm the BW40, but he was only doing what I've done and checking the tracker at that point.
-
Not wanting to boost anyones hopes but my mk6 seemed to skip the tracker stuff completely and arrived 3 months earlier than VW predicted at ordering. Could be they are starting to catch up on production.
-
Just checked my tracker. No movement yet here! Still confirmed for production w/c 29/09
-
Great news for you Linc-dub. Exciting!
No movement on my car this morning. Just checked tracker and it's still says "Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 29/09/2013". So, still at stage 3.
Will keep checking, and checking, and checking :whistle:
-
Mine is still BW confirmed too, but great news to hear a BW40 has gone in to transit! Further evidence that the 'Build in Progress' phase on the tracker is just an automatic tickover 7 days into build week and build could well have already commenced (hopefully).

Hey Neil - love the way you snook in a performance pack on your re-build. Just out of interest why d'ya change your mind?

Because I wanted GTI logos on the calipers :smiley: Being totally serious, it was the one option I seriously considered but decided against on cost grounds originally. As I'll save quite a few £££ driving a free courtesy car for a couple of months that more or less pays for the discounted price on PP, so I thought why the hell not! :grin:

Good for you buddy. I seriously considered adding the P-Pack. But it was another grand on top of all the other costs. I think VW have been quite cute about the pricing and dangling the carrot of the ultimate GTI status with PP... That is until the R arrives and the ED40 :wink:
-
Well it is now into the 20th week of waiting for my car, so lets hope the In Transit stage gets a move on as well - next I'll be to the exciting stage of ship tracking for my car arriving in Grimsby and then its not that far to my dealer!
-
OMG!
Just checked the tracker - mine has skipped the build stage and gone straight to in transit!
This news is awesome - as suspected it seems to have been built alongside similar cars with confirmed BW39's (eg Petedoherty whose went into transit testerday)
:cool:
-
dippy_x - welcome to the 'In Transit' club!
-
Dealer has just confirmed my car is now awaiting a boat!
-
Has you status on tracker changed to 3 weeks? that is waiting for boat mode
-
As it's now Friday of my build week, should I be concerned my car hasn't moved into 'Build in progress' yet?
Thx
-

No need to worry, I'm BW39 & mine didn't change to the Sunday

@Croz Cheers dude :smiley:
-
Further to my post this morning I contacted my dealer, here's what he said:
"Your Golf is in production, the first check point of eight was completed yesterday."
What does first check point of eight mean?
Thx
-
Mine too. Dealer was able to see something their end that lead them to say "hmmm so they are building it the week they said they would". Here's hoping for a tracker update come Sunday. Doesn't time go incredibly slowly in these situations!... :whistle:
-
Hi, having spent most of my working life in car plants, the check points are probably tracking points associated with the build process... typically these are Launch into Body in White (welding the shell), Into Paint, Out of Paint, Onto Assembly, Off Assembly (or off tracks), Customer Acceptance (Final Inspection), Pass to Sales . I know there are only 7 points on here, but these are the main process steps in any car assembly point. Therefore, if yours has just gone past step one, the body is being welded and on its way to paint..! The biggest challenge for any car plant is keeping the build sequence through the paint shop. (I have run paint plants at Land Rover and Aston Martin :smug:) so once you are through paint, you should be on a home run .... Hope this helps
-
Thx Rallypug - that's helpful insight into the workings of car plant production :smiley:

There is a really good video somewhere of a GTI in build and much as you describe and I know there is delays etc but have to admit it all looks pretty impressive.
Used to repair forklifts and one contract was at the Rolls Royce plant in London and they used to wheel the car from one area to another so a person could hand stitch this or hand scribe that or insert a certain part. Those cars were genuinely crafted by some very skilled people and used to spend quite a bit of time there just watching and I used to feel a little inadequate skill wise repairing a forklift.
-
They'd have been in trouble without you to fix the forklift though :smiley:
-
So I guess those BW40's not yet in transit can expect to see the tracker tick over to build in progress overnight tonight.
Emailed my dealer for an update today and he confirmed my build hasn't started yet :cry:
-
dippy-x - yes my tracker is at 3 weeks!
-
You're right Neil_MK. With a bit of luck robot arm icon tomorrow morning. Though not sure this represents a genuine milestone in the factory! :rolleyes:
-
Tracker updated last night for me. In transit 3 weeks now so I guess we are waiting on a boat...
-
ticked over to build in progress this morning..."an average of 4 weeks to reach dealer etc.."
-
Can confirm my car went to stage 4 'Build in progress' this morning. Feels like I'm getting somewhere at long last.
Would I be right in thinking I'll have to wait another full week to see further progress on the tracker?
-
Changed for me as well, I was kinda hoping it would skip straight to the in transit stage like some others but oh well, at least it's progressing :smiley:

The next status change to 'In Transit' should be a real one (i.e when your car is tagged as left the factory) rather than auto tick over like the build in progress stage. So hopefully we won't have to wait as long as a week for the next update :smiley:
-
mine was built between Sun - Tues as changed to 3 week in Transit on the Wednesday!
-
Mine ticked over into the "build in progress" part of the tracker yesterday as I thought it would.
Dealer e-mailed this morning saying was still on target for handover on 2nd of November but I think she might be a bit optimistic unless her info is the car is finished and away to the docks.
-
I'm thinking of collecting on Friday 1st November - as my current GTD will be 1 year old and tax runs out on 31st October!
-
Getting more excited - My tracker has moved to in Transit 10 days this morning - so will now be looking at the shipping tracking into Grimsby dock!
-

Yours seems to be moving along very quickly! Mine is still 'Build in Progress' - so much for a priority build slot :sad:
-

I don't get it,
Mine is still at 3 weeks, and it got built before yours.
Scumbags :sad:
-
...... and my BW39 is still being built!
WTF !
-
Sh!te... Completely forgot to check the tracker this morning.
It says my car is in Transit! Wasn't expecting that. I'm not prepared as I need to sell my Scirocco privately :shocked:
So I'm at Stage 5 - In Transit: Your car has been built and has now left the factory. On average it takes 4 weeks from build for this model to reach your local Volksw'agen Retailer.
What's next?
-
What's next?
Should change to In Transit/3 weeks when it arrives at Port of Emden. I think in reality this should be less than a week.
-
Good news Linc-Dub. That must be one of the faster builds we have seen.
-
Fast build maybe - 22 week wait to date is a long time!
-
Thats mine entered transit part of the tracker now, so hopefully see it in the next 3-4 weeks.
-
Still at build in progress for me
-
Still at build in progress for me
Same here... my priority build tag is clearly working its magic :rolleyes:
-

Could it be the perf pack holding things up?..both our cars have that. Well..who knows. Usually I'm a very laid back kinda person but this feels like the longest wait and I'm turning into GTi tracker-zilla. Progress is round the corner I'm sure...
-
Tracker has changed to Arrived in the UK - i.e. sat on Grimsby Dock!
-
I moved to In Transit + 3 weeks this morning (things seem to be moving quick now).
Does this mean its at port of Emden waiting to board a boat or it's actually on a boat?
If it is on a boat how the hell do you track your actual car?
-
I just got an e-mail from the dealer saying the car was built earlier this week and is now at Emden awaiting a boat. So the tracker must be on some kind of automatic update as it only ticked over to in transit this morning.
-
I'm BW43 so 2 weeks away yet but am I right in thinking it's only taking around a week to get from the factory now? Better sell my current car asap!
-

Not by a long shot, mine was built 2 weeks ago and it is still at the port in emden.
Its quite irritating as cars built later are now in the UK
-
Mine switched to in transit this morning as well, anyone know who you can track the ships going back and forth?
-
I've been at 3 weeks since sunday. So stuck at the port in Emden.
Linc-dub - sounds like everything has been timed perfectly for your car as it has had very little waiting!
-
Tracker has changed to Arrived in the UK - i.e. sat on Grimsby Dock!
Our bw39 also changed to arrived in UK but it had actually arrived in the dealers in Swansea, so you never know....
-
dippy_x - Yes the whole build from the W/C slot has moved fairly quickly, I know others have not been so fortunate
-
Update from my dealer late yesterday: My car hasn't even started build yet. No explanation. Seriously starting to get pi55ed off now :angry:
-

@Neil That's really bad news pal. Sorry to hear. The build slots honestly seem like a lottery. Especially as your car was supposed to be priority tagged (if I remember correctly).
The only crumb of comfort I can offer is that things seem to be speeding up at the factory (I.e. The initial bottleneck seems to be easing somewhat). So, if your car gets built next week you shouldn't have to wait too much longer.
-
Update from my dealer late yesterday: My car hasn't even started build yet. No explanation. Seriously starting to get pi55ed off now :angry:
Same here. A confirmed BW clearly in some cases has no bearing on when it will actually be built. Spoke to some numpty from VW UK yesterday (and I don't necessarily trust for one second what he said..but) who told me not to expect to see any movement out of "build in progress" until 20th October as they give themselves 2 weeks from the end of the quoted build week to get it done!
-
That's my status changed to 10 days. Car should hopefully be with the dealers this week sometime :smiley:. I spent a week at 3 weeks transit - not bad considering the wait some others have had to endure at this point.
-
I got the 'parts shortage' line after having a bit of a moan to the dealer at the weekend - and told to expect an update in 2 weeks :shocked:
-
Car now 'in transit' as of this morning :cool:
-
That's good news Neil... So much for an update in two weeks.
Mine updated this morning to step 6 of 7. Now in the UK and awaiting delivery to VW retailer. Spent 3 days at the Transit 10 days status. Not long to go now hopefully (although a small part of me is now feeling a bit jipped that after waiting all this time we are gonna miss the BW45 changes by just a couple of weeks)
-
Car now 'in transit' as of this morning :cool:
Good to see things are moving for yours. No such luck with mine still stuck on build in progress :sad: maybe tomorrow...
Any other BW40ers not in transit yet? Looks like even some BW39ers are still in this situation
-
I checked the tracker this morning not really expecting anything after what the dealer told me. Looks like nobody outside of Wolfsburg really has a clue what's going on in there and it's a bit of a lottery as to how delayed a car will be.
-
My car has arrived at the dealers - Yeh :grin: :grin:
Will go have a look at it at the weekend - plan to put it on the road Fri 1st November!
-
Thanks Neil_MK. I think you're right that it's a bit of a mystery to everyone outside of Wolfsburg as to what is going on with the build lottery. Think I might try and resist looking at the tracker every day and reduce my dose to every other hoping for the suprise element you had with yours! :grin:
dippy_x - what are the BW45 changes? Anything significant? apologies if this has already been posted somewhere and I've missed it. Cheers.

Mine has now moved to be with your dealer in 10 days, so I'm guessing its on a boat crossing the north sea.

It's mainly the operation of the folding mirrors and the proper iphone lightning cable.
-
And now its down as being in the UK, so hopefully see it in the next week or so.
-
It's a good morning :smiley: Mine has gone 'in transit' finally! Just goes to show the variation in timelines for the same BW. Some of us just leaving the factory whilst others are at the dealer!
-

...And mine is still saying 'In Transit' + 3 weeks. So, yeah, there is a lot of variation for BW 40's (and other BW clubs).
-
Just got off the phone to my dealer and my GTD will be ready for next Friday which just happens is my Wifes 30th Bday!.
Actually starting to get excited now
-
My status just updated to car has arrived at dealers. Yeah! Full process has taken 20 days.
-
In Transit/3 weeks today. Time to start ship tracking - Schelde Highway is docked at Emden and due into Grimsby on Sunday - guess its optimistic to think I might be on that one :nerd:
-
Thats my car arrived at the dealer so couple weeks ahead of schedule but still a month later than told at ordering. Saying that it's a lot better than some of you guys have experienced.
-
Tracker changed to in Transit + 10 days this morning.
Does anyone know if that means its on a boat now? If so, how on earth would I know/guess which boat it's on? Help needed! Thx
-
Don't know about tracking but the 10 days status means it is now on a boat. Should land in the UK within 2-3 days and then be at your dealers shortly after. It's all quite fast from this point forward :smiley:
-

I never got a chance to even check it went from 10 days to arrived at dealers in the space of 3 days.
-
Putting mine on the road on Fri 1st November :grin:
-
Just checked the tracker. It says my car has arrived on the UK (Step 6 of 7);
Your car has now arrived in the UK and will be delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer shortly. This normally takes 7 days
So I totally missed the ship tracking (not that I had a clue how to and it seemed like pure guess work).
I have to admit the whole process has taken so long its all a bit of an anticlimax. I wish I could be more excited (I know I sound like a spoilt kid but that's how I feel right now + super stressed with work, having a new baby and not selling my current car). Sorry for sounding down when I should be ecstatic.
I guess next step is to pay for the darn thing a pick up!
-
Mine has also changed to arrived in the UK and my dealer called saying he expects it at the dealership in just under 48 hours, going to sign the paperwork later this week and hopefully pick up middle of next week :laugh:
-
Just - No comment ! (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/mad/mad0228.gif)
:) pleased for you guy's really... ;)
-
Vehicle now at port of Sheerness (confirmed by my dealer) only three weeks after being built. Also have the reg number allocated.
Feeling at bit more positive now :smiley:
-
Excellent news gentlemen. Im bw 41 so im starting to get excited now. Out of interest when did you place your order 5-0?

I can confirm that the tracker says my car is delivered to the dealer today.
So step 7 of 7:
Your vehicle has been delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer and is available for collection. Please contact the Retailer to arrange your handover. Thank you again for your order and happy motoring!
So that's it, the end of a very, very long journey.
Going down to collect Friday 1st November. One way train journey down to dealer in Kent, then the long drive home in my shiny new GTI :smug:

You jammy barstewards ! - my BW39 still being built - been there for a whole month! :angry:
:) happy motoring chaps
-
I'm getting excited for you all BW40's.... I'm looking forward to all this in 10 weeks from now (or probably longer!) :huh: Can't wait to see all your photos & read your reviews. :smiley:
-

Yup.

Yup.
They must have 4+ GTI/GTDs there at the moment!!!
Not sure if we've all been dealing with the same person - if so he must be worn out!
-
Any other BW40s sat waiting at Emden? as far as I can work out it's been about a week now waiting for a slot on the boat to Grimsby
-

Yes, same here. Had an email from dealer yesterday saying he expects it to move any day now.
Looks like Neckar Highway and Weser Highway are due to leave Emden for Grimsby today, and Schelde Highway due back into Emden from Grimsby later. Surely we'll be on one of those (assuming your car is coming in to Grimsby!).

Thanks, that's good to know we're in the same boat :grin: or not as the case may be! Dealer has confirmed it's heading for Grimsby too so fingers crossed that one of the ships you've mentioned has room for a couple more!
-
Hoping for a tracker change to 10 days tomorrow - Wife thinks I've finally lost the plot after watching me track ships between Emden and Grimsby on my phone this past week, so lets hope so!
-
Ah well, didn't get on the boats yesterday :sad:. Schelde Highway later today maybe?
-
Ah well, didn't get on the boats yesterday :sad:. Schelde Highway later today maybe?
No change here either. Hopefully on Schelde Highway otherwise looks like at least another few days waiting for a boat.
-
Here's hoping you get an update tonight. Sunday morning seems to be a good time for the tracker to update itself.
-
Still no movement on the tracker, then I didn't expect there to be as no ships have sailed the last couple of days - no doubt waiting for this storm to pass through. Hopefully on Schelde Highway or Autorunner when they do start sailing again!
-

Same here. Still at the 3-weeks to dealer mark. Maybe not such a bad thing that they're not on a boat in this storm! Surely there'll be some movement in the next couple of days..
-
Well supposed to get mine last Friday but got a call that morning saying the tax disc hasn't turned up the car will be along some time in the next week (which kind of got me suspicious). So today comes and I hear nothing so I call the dealer and say I've got meetings and that this week so it would help if I knew what day the car was getting trailered down. Get told ahh we don't know we're at the mercy of the DVLA here, we applied for the tax disc on the 21st but it hasn't arrived. Having bought quite a few discs over the years I know they rarely take over a week to come so I decide to call them myself and see if the disc has even been processed, turns out it had only been applied for today and won't get posted until tomorrow.
So going to wait until tomorrow morning see if they try to blame it on the DVLA again then let them know that I know they're talking a load of old pish and someone their end dropped the ball. It's not a huge inconvenience as I've still got their loan car I just don't like being lied to.
-
Are you sure DVLA haven't been tellung porkies? Still waiting on my £83 refund on the Scirocco tax disc, 7 weeks after I sent it. My dad waited 14 weeks for his. He'd been told that they'd sent it on 3 occasions and they must have gotten lost in the post. I was fed the same line - they supposedly posted one 4 weeks ago, but will send another out. So many cheques going missing? I think the DVLA like holding onto money for as long as they can.
Someone is bullsh!tting you, but it might be the DVLA.
-
I do usually take what they are saying with a pinch of salt but I can't see why they would lie about when the disc was applied for. It's still not appearing on the website so that would make me think that the disc hasn't been applied for or it was only applied for today like they told me.
-
Friday 1st November is pick up day. Starting to get a few butterflies in my stomach now :wink:
-
on the boat finally! :smiley: Tracker has moved to 10 days this morning so my guess is its on the Schelde Highway that left Emden at about 04:00
-
on the boat finally! :smiley: Tracker has moved to 10 days this morning so my guess is its on the Schelde Highway that left Emden at about 04:00
Nice one! Still at 3 weeks for me, so the boat tracking continues :cry:

Friday 1st pick up day for me too - its getting exciting :grin:

Yes, excitement starting to build now. This is the nice part after all the waiting!
It arrived at the dealer 2 weeks ago, but decided not to put it on the road until Friday. Only 20 miles from the dealer, so not as far to travel on its maiden run!
-
Still nothing :rolleyes:
EDIT: Due to ship today according to dealer. Does this make my 'priority' BW40 the last in this thread to ship?

@Hawaii-Five-O

Not long to go now...
@Thornster Tell me about it! Tomorrow afternoon pick up. Four different trains to Kent, dealer is picking me up from the station then we get the deal done.
Can't help feeling gutted for Neil and the like who still don't have any concrete news on their cars. Sh!te.

I thought you were picking yours up yesterday, which made me think you must have got really lost driving it home via some of the back roads to run it in. :whistle:

Hello all i`m a Newbie to the site....
My GTI was also due for build on Week 40 , after the pain of getting hold of someone to find out where my car was "should have been at the dealer for Monday the 28th", i`ve now been told by VW UK its delayed by one month due to production volume issues & Parts shortage for my vehicle.
Now looking at Early December :sad:

Hi Ttcent, What's your spec? Wonder if anything on your spec is delaying it?

Hi Ginagee, My specs pretty standard just the addition of the performance pack, in fact i had to remove the Rear park camera due to supply issues in the early days of the ordering process, not really a necessity more a gadget :nerd:

I also feel for those who have been/are still being messed about.
I'm sure you'll love the car. The GTI is my first auto/DSG so I'm still getting used to it, but the overall package is fantastic.
JCB Medway were really good when I collected on Monday, just don't forget any documents they may have asked you to present (they needed to 'scan' my Photo Drivers Licence for example).
Have a good drive tomorrow, and enjoy!

They didnt need any docs from me? Just payment! Maybe only needed if taking VW finance?

@Ttcent Confused - we're you build week 40? If so, how come the massive delay between build and delivery?
6 months lead time sucks btw :cry:

Yeah I had a confirmed week 40 Build, then it was delayed due to volume of orders & then parts shortage so its been sat in the plant in partial build for at least a month, a colleague of mine ordered his two weeks after me and got his two weeks ago, just caught unlucky i suppose, at least it gave me a little longer with my Scirocco :cry:
