So the replacement is being built BW3. Who else is joining the BW3 club?
J
-
Me, well i think so If W/C 13th Jan is BW3 :whistle:
-
Just noticed this thread......
As I am BW3, I will jump on the band wagon....
:nerd:
-
BW3 is among us guys! Good luck :wink:

Has anyone on Bw3 tracker changed to build in progress ??
Mind still says
"Your order has been confirmed for production. Please contact your retailer for further information"
-
When mine was built the tracker was 1 week behind. Not sure if it's still the same!

Mine too JB GTI, still showing "Your order has been confirmed for production. Please contact your retailer for further information".
I am led to believe from reading previous threads that before you see it 'build in progress' you will more than likely see it jump to 'in transit'.
I know I still have a while until I receive the car (1st March until the 14 reg) but it feels like Christmas all over again, the wait is killing me..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Mine i still saying build week confirmed too. Shouldn't imagine there is anything to be worrying about :smiley:

Hello everyone,
This is my first ever message!
I actually qualify for a BW4 club rather than this one, but would like to say that I too have had strange jumping arounds of the tracker site. I ordered a GTI early December and the first notification on the tracker was "2" ( with the factory). A week later, i.e. mid December, it jumped straight to "4" with the little robot animated. Then a few days later, it jumped back to "3" with a build week of 20/1/13! That stayed up for three days then changed to the current message which others have had, which is "order confirmed, contact dealer".
So, this morning, popped into the local dealership and he logged onto their version of the tracker. He showed me the screen which confirmed the build week as starting 20/1/2014. Three other GTIs are on order at my dealer, with mine having a predicted delivery of mid-to-late February.
Hope this helps others waiting for updates.

J
No. Not bothered as such. Just curious. My dealer did confirm to me last week that his system said it was being built this week and that's good enough for me but he also let slip that the tracker is only around 90% accurate as otherwise it would spoil the call from them to let you know your car has arrived when the tracker still shows in transit for example.

I was BW2 and throughout the week I got the same message on the tracker. Then last weekend it jumped past the 'Build in progress' (having never actually been on that stage) to 'In transit' :smiley: Just a quirk of the tracker?? Fingers crossed!
-
Yup - I'm there and "in production" ..... :)

Have a check friday morning mate, it might jump straight to "in transit", my GTI skipped the build in progress bit, orrr give your dealer a bell as he'll be able to see exactly what stage it's at. :)

Mine is the same - should be built this week but still saying contact dealer.
Here's hoping.

Just tried the tracker again and it appears that the whole VW server is down now... :rolleyes:

Just happened to look at the tracker :whistle: :whistle:
It breathes !!
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 Volkswagen Retailer.

I'm the same (build week commencing 12th). Hopefully it should be 'in transit' next week!

Mine is still showing as being in transit.

Just checked mine again and it's moved to:

They now outsource to Ikea - all the bits are in transit with some pictogram instructions and a funny spanner thing. The "build" is left to you when it arrives.
:wink:
-
Haha i'd actually quite enjoy a kit GTI. If i had the time to put it together that is!
J
-
Mine is now "in transit" and the dealer is expecting it by the end of next week ..... but I think I'll wait for a '14 plate ..... :)
-
Mine is still in transit but the wording has changed to,
Your car is on the next stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 3 weeks for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.
My thoughts are it has made it to the port.
-
Lucky you JB :grin:
Mine is still:

To add insult to injury I am not planning on picking it up until April :whistle:
What's the betting you get the call from your dealer to say it has arrived before the tracker gets its arse into gear !!

i think I read it on here..when it says 4 weeks its on its way to the port
when it says 3 weeks..its waiting for the next ship
when it says 10 days...its on the ship!
after that its just a case of arriving and getting on a transporter

Mine must be on ship then :smiley: tracker has updated again...
Your car is in the final stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 10 days from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.
That's 3 times this week it has updated.

Fantastic - mine still says 3 weeks but hopefully not too much longer!

I have just had a look at shipping details and done a bit of detective work it looks like mine could be on a ship called Isar Highway which left Emden yesterday and is currently just off The coast at Grimsby.
I used these sites.
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/
http://www.portarrivals.com/
-
FINALLY!!!
I'm now in Stage 5 of 7 'IN TRANSIT'!
The ball is now rolling :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
The vessels that I've heard ship vessels are:
1) Main Highway (currently: en route to CUXHAVEN, Germany)
2) Isar Highway (currently: GRIMSBY-> ZEEBRUGGE)
3) City of Paris (currently: TYNE)
4) SCHELDE HIGHWAY (currently: Grimsby -> Emden, arriving 6pm on 25/1/2014)
Anyone know of any others?
-
Looks like my car has arrived in the UK :smiley:
Going to wait for a March delivery now though, good job i have a GTI to play with in the mean time :rolleyes:
J
-
Tracker updated again
Your car has now arrived in the UK and will be delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer shortly. This normally takes 7 days.
-
10 days to dealer - mine is prob on the boat!
(Although it lokos like there is something wrong with the site as all dealer email addresses have been replaced by a single gmail address, so no idea if it is correct!!!!!)
It seems that the SCHELDE HIGHWAY will dock in Emden tonight having come from Grimsby. I wonder if they update the tracker when it is going on the next boat?
I can't see any ot the other ships that they usually use going from Emden to Grimsby at the moment.
-
Car has arrived with dealer :cool:
How is everyone else doing?
j
-
Still showing 'In Transit' for me... God knows whether it has been shipped or actually in the UK now. My dealer has told me an ETA delivery of 17-01-13? That would be 4 weeks from build week.
Either way, as long as I can get it first week of March with shiny new 14 plates i'll be happy... :laugh:
-
My dealer just emailed to say it was on the boat and did I want it before March.
I'll take it next week but only if it has 14 plates on it ;-)
For anybody whose car is on a ship to Grimsby, I think that it will probably be on either the Neckar Highway or African Highway (both due at Grimsby tomorrow 30/1/2014).
-
Just out of interest, which dealers have all you BW3'ers ordered your cars from? :huh:
-
Western VW Edinburgh.
-
Listers Volkswagen, Coventry
-
JCT600 Bradford, Oct 30th
J
-
You can tell that the 1st March is coming up, there are 2 boats from Emden at Grimsby now and a third on the way.
Hopefully my GTD is on one of these!
-
My car is in the UK :-)
Must resist temptation to pick up before March.....

A weight off your shoulders now Matt, knowing its actually in the UK.
WARNING: do not go and visit your shiney new car waiting at the VW garage before March, otherwise the temptation will be even worse!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
I know ..... must resist........
I might go and see it but make sure that I don't tell the dealer so that it isn't ready for collection.
-
Had a call from dealer today. Mine should arrive with them tomorrow. I think he was a little surprised when I said I didn't want it on Mar 1st :huh:
Start of April for me. Booked a week off work to play :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Edit. Tracker moved to "Your Car Has Arrived"
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!
-
Anyone got any updates ??
-
No, still saying that it has arrived in the UK. No rush fit me though -don't want it until March.
-
As expected I'm still behind all you guys on the tracker. Mines still showing 'In Transit'.
Me too, no rush as long as I get a new 14 plate on the 1st March... :laugh:
-
Mine's arrived at the dealer on Monday and already has a registration Number: **14 EFE so naturally, she is going to be called Effy - like the girl in Skins! :D
Now just have to insure and pay for her, then arrange a delivery date! :smug:

Don't forget the 7 day free VW cover.

Good point - I had no idea it was free until I looked into it - the paperwork just had a number to dial! They're copying BMW ...

The free 7 day insurance is with Allianz (you may have seen all the blue Allainz advertising at all of the F1 races), the same company that do 7 day cover for BMW and MINI.

Any week 3's picked up yet or are we all waiting for the plate change ?? :whistle:

Yes! But I can't drive it until midnight! :)
-
Are any of your cars that are being delivered on the 28th lease cars by any chance or bought straight from dealers?
-
Same for me. They are delivering it on a transporter to my house on 28th February. Then I can look at it for a day
Yes with the '14 plate on it - but with strict instructions not to drive it, however, as I'm working from home that day, I'll be gazing at it out of my study window .....
Are any of your cars that are being delivered on the 28th lease cars by any chance or bought straight from dealers?
I'm buying this one myself - via a broker (Carfile) - but the dealer is delivering direct .... My company car scheme is not biased to high performance petrol cars - and neither is BIK Tax when you add lots of lovely toys to bump up the price!
I've worked out it's now significantly cheaper (for me) to take the cash and "self fund" - just changing them every 18-24 months! :)
-
My car is at the dealer..... just waiting for the 1st :)
-
Tracker still showing in transit. Spoke to dealer and confirms it is still sat in some port somewhere in Germany. Been sat there for 4 or 5 weeks apparently with ETA arrival of 3rd March? Don't know what the hold up is........ :sad:

Hi Dan Burnley, Mine was stuck at Grimsby for 18 days :cry:…. However it was over Christmas & New Year. Don't worry, it's usually more like 7 days, sometimes even sooner. Are you wanting it registered 1st March?

Yes I'm wanting 1st March registration. I have sold my current car and it will be going on the 3rd of March, so need my new GTD by then..... :embarrassed: :cry:

Make sure you apply some pressure to the dealer to ensure you get an early delivery. It isn't your fault the car was held up.
