Morning All,
I had my order number confirmed yesterday, so I checked it out this morning:
(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g272/scottyboy1989/Cars/Golf%20Order_zpsfx1ul6gl.jpg)
Pretty excited tbh, my first brand new car..
Slightly worried it says Titan Black under Upholstery, but I have read this is normal.
Can anyone give me a rough idea, based on experience, how long the process takes from order to delivery?
Cheers,
Scott

WOO HOO congrats.
I collected mine on 30th September, from point of order it took about 12/13 weeks
-
Congratulations.
Yeah the Titan Black is normal.
You will get "Build week confirmed" roughly 4 weeks before it starts to be built.
At that point you can't change or add to your order.
So how long between ""With the factory" and "Build week confirmed"?
Depends on quite a few variables, like does the dealer have any allocation left.
In simple terms they can only order say 5 GTI's a month so if they have already used their allocation of 5 cars that month you would be the following month.
How many weeks were you told as you can roughly work back.
Build stage to picking it up they say up to 4 weeks.
Build stage 1 week
With the factory to build stage 4 weeks.
So thats 9 weeks straight away although the final stage can sometimes be as little as 2 weeks.
You can also go on to VW's online chat and ask what your provisional build date is. This will give you a rough idea.
Hope that helps/

My gti is with factory and is provisional bw2. Tweet vw customer services and they will tell you your provisional bw

Thanks for the tips peeps,

Just had my Build Week confirmed - Week 46..
Quite glad, as I didn't fancy my car being built just after Christmas, and just before New Year, when people don't really put 100% into their work shall we say haha.

Mines the same now. I asked in the middle of last week to add the climate windscreen to my order and then found out on Saturday that the manager who deals with that was off last week. Anyone know if orders can be changed once build week confirmed had happened.

The ' build week confirmed ' point has always been where no changes to that order are accepted ( from my own experience in the past )
Unless the system is more flexible but I doubt it.

That's right, once confirmed for production it cannot be spec ammended. In fact a week or so going confirmed its goes to a state called frozen for production which again means it can't be changed.
The only hope is if your dealer lets you completely order the car again, however it will be then at the higher price if there was a price increase......

Took 13 weeks from order to pick up.
I found Twittering to VW direct was way ahead of anything the dealer/VW Build Status knew about.

TIP!
I followed the advice on here and had my new car professionally detailed.
The biggest problem is that the cars are transported to the docks on an open railway carriage and minute particles of metal from the railway system land on all the exterior surfaces of the vehicle.
My detailer told me my car was covered in these metal particles all over, one of the worst he had seen!
When the car is cleaned at the dealers they just pressure wash it with some form of degreaser (I watched it done but couldn't get the exact info from the guy operating the pressure washer), then it is shampoo washed and 'polished' and thats it!!
However the degreasing and shampooing doesn't remove all the metal perticals so you can guess for yourself what happens when the car cleaner rubs (swirls) the shampoo all over the perfectly clean factory finished surface. :angry:
Hopefully some pics will be posted of my Pro. detailed car standing alongside the dealer prepared cars.
You can decide for yourself if its worth the money when you see them, but from my experience I will never buy another new car without having it fully detailed by an independent Professional.
Hope this helps.

I think the wait, especially as I have no car at all now, will make me appreciate & look forward to delivery even more :grin:

Hello dude, did you get that message at the end of the build week. Mine is due to be built week commencing 05th Dec and I understand that it takes a week to build the car.

Hey, my build week was last week. I checked the tracker this morning and it had changed over to this :smiley:

It'll be stuck at Emden soon unfortunately :sad:
It is an equally frustrating and exiting part of the journey but worth it in the end :cool:

How cool would that be if it was possible? :smiley:

For some markets VW let you pick up your car from Wolfsburg, not for the UK (although they will let you pick a Phaeton up from Dresden).
