Who else is in the BW 45 Club? We almost there :smiley:
-
BW45 here too :grin: I'm hoping it goes smoothly enough for a mid Dec latest for delivery.
-
Me too... dealership suggesting late November/early December delivery - latter much more likely
-
I was BW45 but when I look it says 10/11/13 which is week 46, thought they were making some changes which has delayed them, like red badges etc.
-
17/11/13 First BIT of movement in almost 4 months was told BW45,
-
Was wondering when this thread would appear :laugh:
Ordered in September and am confirmed for next week. Not in a rush though... Happy to wait until the new year.
-
Anyone moved onto "Build in Progress"? Judging by the other BW threads, I'm not expecting to see any movement in the tracker until next week, which may just be the automatic tick over.
Should still be able to make it a pre Christmas pick up - assuming they can get the car out the factory by the 20th.
-
I'm in the same boat here... No updates unfortunately,
Hopefully the tracker is just inaccurate :sad:
-
Build week 45 is w/k: 3/11/13 isn't it ?
Mine hasn't moved on the tracker ... more worrying though "We couldn't find your Volkswagen order number. Please check and try again". Defo the correct one as its the number I have been using up to this point
-
I'm BW43 and only just started being built this morning...
-
My dealer told me this morning that they're expecting to deliver on 6th December...
-
My dealer told me this morning that they're expecting to deliver on 6th December...
and what was your confirmed build commencement date?
-
As per earlier in the thread... w/c 3/11/2013...
-
Mine is apparently in the final stage of build and should be completed some time next week ? Then 4-6 weeks from that point to get to the dealers.

Has your tracker updated to 'Build In Progress'? Mine hasn't shifted onto this yet :sad:
-
Tracker hasn't updated at all this week for me either so decided to give the dealer a call.
One of the sales guys looked up my order on the dealer tracker and said it had not updated for them either and had no way to verify what was going on :undecided:
-
My tracker has just moved from with factory to in transit this morning, completely missing out in build :smiley:
-
Same here :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Great news guys :smiley: . . . It seems like vw is pretty much within schedules. Unfortunately vw South Africa doesn't have an online tracker, I will check with my dealer on Monday. Hopefully mine has also moved to transit.
-
Gutted...
Mine has only updated to build in progress. I think I am right in saying that this could mean:
a. Production is running behind schedule but my car will be built this week (46 instead on 45).
b. Production hasn't started at all on my car but the tracker has automatically updated with the "Build in progress" to make it look like my order is moving along even though it isn't.
Fun times...
-
Mine is in transit as well! The cargo ship Autoprestige has docked at Emden this morning with its next trip being to sheerness so fingers crossed!
-

Due to be in Sheerness tomorrow at 10! Fingers crossed my BN43 car is on that one too although I had a feeling African Highway would be my vessel as it appears to do an Emden > Sheerness > Santander > Emden loop but it's destination is still Emden so who knows where it's going or when that will be.
-
My car is being built... Dealer estimate seems reasonable... Should have it around 6th December...

Auto Prestige is literally minutes from docking in Sheerness. Who's on board? :whistle: :undecided:
-
How can you find out where exactly your car is ?
-

You can't exactly, the dealer's computer should be able to tell you whether it's in the UK or has left Germany or is still in Germany... I'm trying to be patient and not bother mine, when there's news he'll be in touch I'm sure :cool:
-
Checked tracker yesterday and got what I thought was the automatic tick over to build in progress. Checked this morning and the tracker has moved to In Transit :cool: :cool:
Finally the end is in sight :grin: :grin:
-
Mine's now built and in transit :cool:
-
Clicked over to 3 Weeks yesterday :grin:
-
Well that was quick, just ticked to 10 days :smiley:
Saturday - 4 week
Tuesday - 3 week
Friday - 10 day
When will it roughly be with my dealer?
I live in the North West so am I right in saying it will be shipped to Grimsby?
-
The Glovis challenge docked at Sheerness this morning. The ship called Emden left Emden this evening on its way to Sheerness.
-
Hey guys...
Would anyone mind doing me a favour and checking their order status at all please? My order appears to have been lost and was just curious to see if anyone else is on the same boat (or I'm the case of my golf, no boat at all :laugh:).
Thanks
-
Its not working for all of us, so don't worry
Sleg
-
Appreciate it, thanks :smiley:
Just noticed the other thread.
-
Mine is still showing as in transit
-
My dealer doesn't know where my car is, such BS :sad:.

Phone VWSA - 0860 434 737 they are quite good at getting updates. Otherwise once it's on a ship go to http://www.2wglobal.com/ go to Track and Trace and type the VIN number into Cargo ID and it will show which ship it's on and when it will get to PE.

Coincidentally, i received a call from my dealer today. He told me that the car is waiting to port, i was hoping that it would be on the boat that's leaving for P.E. today, the VIN no. doesn't seem to show up on http://www.2wglobal.com/ so i can only hope that it will be on the ship that's leaving to p.e. on the 26th.
-
In Transit now down to 10 days and just noticed that Autorunner is due in @ Sheerness in the next hour or so.....come on, be on the boat :grin: :grin:

It sometimes takes a day or two for the manifest to be update but my car only got on the second ship at the docks. It was finished and on a train on the 31st October. Arrived at the dock on the 7th and was loaded on the ship on the 11th
-
Must have been on the Autorunner as I received a call earlier from the dealer giving me my new registration :laugh: :laugh:
The car is en-route to them and will arrive in about a weeks time, with me being able to pick up a week or 2 after that. Sooooo close now, barring any interference from the lease company should be driving around in a new GTD w/c 9th :whistle: :whistle:

Thanks for the info rocknob, the VIN number doesn't seem to appear on the site. I am pretty sure it will be on the boat leaving on the 26th.
-
Just found out my GTD has been sitting at Emden since the 12th! Vwcs couldn't confirm when it would be leaving but a boat is due to leave tomorrow and 2 next Saturday! Just want my car!!!
-
According to the online tracker, my car has Arrived in the UK
-
Pick up Wednesday :smiley: :smiley:
-
Pick up Wednesday :smiley: :smiley:
Excellent!! Hope all goes well.
I'll be speaking to my dealer Monday to try and get a date. Would like to try and pick up by Friday, but think it's more likely to be the week after. Not long now though
-
Wish I was as lucky as you guys
My tracker has become a bit of a mess lately and I am being given conflicting information from the dealership and VW UK.
Latest update is that it hasn't left the factory yet for some "unknown" reason... even though I was told 2 weeks ago that it had been built and was at Emden port.
Really hoping this isn't a sign of things to come :sad:
-
Assuming no issues with PDI, will pick up the car Thurs 5th :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
I've got a date with a GTi tonight, picking her up at 5.30pm.
Hopefully the start of a beautiful relationship :smiley:
-
Can any BW45 owners who have specified the Advanced Phone Kit check to see if they have MDI installed?
-
Finally, the car is on the boat to Port Elizabeth South Africa. :tongue:. ETA 17th December 2013 :drool:

Picked up GTi tonight, amazing!!
PS. It was built to BW 45 spec, iPhone lightening cable and the mirrors activated by the key remote.
-
Excellent!
So mirrors fold and unfold with remote?

Hey,
Would anyone else who was build week 45 be able to tell me if their order was delayed? Or what stage their order is at now?
I recently found out that my build was put back to week 46 and to this day is to make it past the Quality Control stage.
The dealership I ordered from has been very good keeping me up to date as much as they can and has also attempted to find out just what has happened. It moved to stage 7 on the 15th November but hasn't moved since.
If I'm honest, I am a little concerned as it is starting to have the hallmarks of a lemon GTI. :undecided:

You shouldn't be concerned. If it's stopped at this stage it could mean that quality control is active again in the VW. And your car should be trouble-free when you deliver it :smiley:

I was bw45 then changed to bw46, small price to pay if I'm problem free. Cars somewhere in UK supposedly, mate saw a white 3 door On a38 on a wagon this morning but doesn't appear to be mine. Was going south past Derby in case anyone is curious
-
Appreciate the feedback guys. Hopefully you are right and it does end up being a good sign. Over 2 weeks is a long time for any quality control :laugh:
Would have been nice to have the car for Christmas but looking like it will be January sometime
-
Finally had confirmation that mine is being delivered on 12/12/13... It could have been 10/12/13 but I'm out all day
So I make it (17/7/13) order to delivery of 22 weeks... My g/f ordered her car, BMW 120d M-Sport (factory order) 11/8/13 and it arrived 1/10/13 (less than 8 weeks)...I means she's had the car two months already... What the hell is VW up to...
-
Boat docks on Tuesday :whistle:, the wait is almost over. For some reason i cannot seem to track it anymore on the marine traffic website.

I'm BW 44 (and have had the car since November 26). I wanted to know if the GTI badge on the PP is now red from BW45 on. It's chrome on and up to BW44.
Thanks...

Had my gtd delivered yesterday and it had a red and a blue lead in the glove box! Only problem is the red lead doesn't work with my 1st gen iPod touch! Glad it's Xmas soon as I seem to only get Apple store vouchers so new iPod is on the cards...

Lucky you, I only got a blue cable :cry: do you need a iPhone 5 / Lighting MDI cable?
I could swap it for your red one ;)

You got red and blue? So does that mean that what I believe to be a lightning connector may actually be red? Investigation time

Sell the green on eBay for a easy £40-50 and then buy a Red :cool:

Received a call from my dealer today and been told my car arrived at the dealership this morning :laugh:
Going to be the longest ever 2 weeks waiting to pick it up.
