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.

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.
Title: Re: BW 45
Post by: Robbo on 04 November 2013, 18:43
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.
Title: Re: BW 45
Post by: R20TNR on 04 November 2013, 19:12
I'm in the same boat here... No updates unfortunately,

Hopefully the tracker is just inaccurate  :sad:
Title: Re: BW 45
Post by: MM087 on 05 November 2013, 10:25
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

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:
Title: Re: BW 45
Post by: R20TNR on 08 November 2013, 20:52
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:
Title: Re: BW 45

My tracker has just moved from with factory to in transit this morning, completely missing out in build :smiley:

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.
Title: Re: BW 45
Post by: R20TNR on 10 November 2013, 00:43
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...

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.

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:

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?

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

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.

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:

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:

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:
