So since placing my order last week, I have properly checked where my order is about every 2 hours :grin: It's as if I'm expecting a miracle.
To make matters worse, it almost just gave me a heart attack. So I type in my order number, and it comes up with build week confirmed '17/11/13'. Then I see it says Golf S 105 and saw I had typed in the order number wrong.
This is killing me. I can't keep doing this for 6 months!
-
Yeah you can. I've been doing that for 4 months, and that's full in the knowledge that it only updates on Sundays :whistle:
-
Been checking every day for the last 4 and a half months. I know the feeling
-
Can't check my number on the tracker as it's ordered via VW Tax free sales :sad:
-
I'm yet to get to this stage but I'm sure I will!
I placed my order nearly 2 weeks ago now but my dealer hasn't told me anything about the online tracker... I haven't even had an order number so I suppose I best check it out... (Off I go to ring the dealer... :whistle:)
-
Phil, same here. According to google, my most visited pages are that tracker page and this forum :D
-
It is an addiction, especially on Sundays and Mondays when it is supposed to update. However the last few weeks, as mine was being delivered, it updated mid-week. So keep checking lol :laugh:
-
I had tracker addiction! For nearly 7 months I had it as my home page, both in work and at home. I'd even a icon on my iPhone too. It got worse...I used to check it whilst going to the bathroom in the middle of the night!
I'm out of rehab now and into the luscious leather seats of a GTD. Tracker mania for me is OVER!! :grin:

Hi folks, I'm also in this gang. We should maybe start a self help group.
I'll go first.
My name is Gary and I'm an addict. Its been 10 mins since my last hit and I'm starting to twitch already!!
The worst thing is, its not even gonna be my car, its the wife's, and we don't even want it until March. I just can't help myself.
Its just another sick VW joke to screw with your head!!! There's probably a computer program monitoring how often you check the tracker which is linked directly to how quickly they then build your car.

Funny! I'm an addict too, I confess. I also think VW tracks us when we track our order! Question is… do you think they build it quicker the more times you check? Or do they slow it down the more you check? :huh:
Who knows… but like waiting for a kettle to boil, if you watch over it, it feels like ages!!! MUST try & leave it alone! :grin:

I would hope it's not the case. Some sicko sat there laughing, then he see's we look at our tracker again, and he then delays it another week. It's horrible to even think about.
To make matters worse, I've pinned the website on my tabs on chrome so it's something I just can't help doing. Ha. Utterly Ridiculous!
-
Luckily I haven't felt the need to check yet as I have a build week of 5 for next year. No doubt after Xmas I'll be like you lot and become addicted to checking it. Until then I'm trying to forget all about the tracker.
-
Phew! Glad I'm not the only one. Ordered by Limestone Grey GTi MK7 with winter pack in St Albans on 13/12/13 (A Friday!!!! Eek!) and it read "With the factory" for weeks. Just moved to stage 3 (BW) on Sunday and stated build week commencing 24/11/13, a whole 2 months earlier than the dealership told me :laugh:.
Just wondering now when it will be ready to collect based on those dates. Any ideas anybody?
-
Right, so I swear someone said it only updates on Sundays.
When I've tried my tracker, I've managed to see two others peoples orders. A Sharan, and a Golf S. Every time I check mine, I take the liberty to check their to see if they are moving.
The Sharon moved this morning to 1/12/13. I presume if that changed and mine hasn't, it won't make that week now

Probably just down to when each factory/build line does their scheduling

Hurry up!!!!!PLEASE

Mines just skipped over to BW confirmed at last! 1.12.13, and I ordered 18.9.13. So I'm gonna relax now until then. Then I'll get tracker addition again! :laugh:
Is 1.12.13 BW 49?
-
You think it's bad now? Phaaaa!! Wait until you get to the transit stage. I am currently sat here lookin at marinetraffic.com watching a boat with my car on (hopefully!) sailing from emden to the port of Tyne. I'm refreshing it every 5 seconds watching to move ever closer to good ole England. Best bit is I'm at work and I'm getting nothing done as a consequence. Haha
-
What's the name of the boat that transports the cars across?? and how often does this boat make the journey?? :shocked:
