Title: Build week 17
Post by: Suklpm on 28 March 2014, 18:40: Tracker updated today.... 20/4 - I guess that's BW17? Slipped a week from the dealer estimate a fortnight ago :(

Counting the weeks now!

Post by: GTD184 on 28 March 2014, 19:56: My wife had a tracker update today too for 20/04.....thought that was week 16?
She only factory ordered on 12 march and has been advised that handover will be mid May.

Post by: Suklpm on 13 April 2014, 14:50: Not that many BW 17s on here.... Is it cos it's Easter week?!
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: kacee on 13 April 2014, 18:49: BW17 for me as well.

Hoping that the Easter break at VW does not impact upon build quality as can be the case :sad:

Post by: Rossc0 on 13 April 2014, 21:57: when did you order?
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: Suklpm on 13 April 2014, 22:03: 18th February - so about 8-9 weeks from order to build...
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: Suklpm on 25 April 2014, 20:06: No update yet :(

Dealer emailed today saying he expected it to update in the morning so here's hoping!

Anyone else?

Post by: GTD184 on 25 April 2014, 22:47: Build wk17 too but no updates received yet!!.......as many have discovered the build stage normally gets missed out completely and the updates then confirming either vehicle dispatched/on boat or arrived in UK!.....I guess that is what my next VW tracker update will confirm :rolleyes:

The tracker is not reliable, I ordered 22/2 and it's been at the dealers since 23/4. I would get in touch with dealer, it may already be there?

Post by: Suklpm on 27 April 2014, 08:17: Tracker updated to build in progress this morning.... Was meant to be built by today!
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: Suklpm on 27 April 2014, 10:01: Ok, just updated to in transit - only took an hour to build! Methinks the tracker isn't that accurate!

Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: GTD184 on 27 April 2014, 22:52: VW tracker updated to car in transit......won't be long now
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: MoeGTD on 28 April 2014, 11:07: Mines still at build in progress, tracker is obviously very unreliable.
Title: Re: Build week 17

Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: MoeGTD on 04 May 2014, 10:34: Mines still at * stage 5 in transit * surely should be on a boat by now!
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: Suklpm on 04 May 2014, 12:59: Mine changed to day from "in transit takes 3 weeks from now" to "in transit takes 10 days from now" - don't know where that means in is... On a boat?
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: breezasib on 04 May 2014, 13:35: I think 5b means it's a Emden and 5c is on the boat
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: TheCarMadDad on 04 May 2014, 15:19: Do they all go from Emden?
Title: Re: Build week 17
Post by: breezasib on 04 May 2014, 16:40: Yep I think all UK cars go from Emden
Title: Re: Build week 17
