it arrived in the port of Tyne and is awaiting transfer to the dealers, the dealer should have it next week at some point.
I will prob see it driving round tonight by the local hoodies that work at the docks lol.  :grin: :wink: :drool:
Unless it goes to VWs big holding compound in Newcastle which is probably worse :evil:

Yeah the guy at VW I talked to said it was in the hold. Is that bad ?

Think yourself luckie yours is actually here. I have just read on another forum that alot of the unconfirmed build weeks are up in the air and that quite a few have been pushed WAY WAY back. For example one dealer had a build week of week 2 for a GTD thats been moved to week 21  :laugh: Im scared to phone VW customer service to see if mines been effected.

Woohoo, just off the phone with my dealer, it will be with him today, he will valet and PDI it and have the car turned round in a day for me. Just need to fax off finance once the car comes in and get him all paid up. Should have the car in the next 2 days or so I rekon.  :smiley:

Apparently virtually every order for week 45 or after moved to week 21 or so and then most back to week 2/3!  But they're still expecting them to get confirmed closer to the original dates.  All due to 'engine changes/realignment at week 45'...

I think they've subcontracted order management to a firm of Plumbers in Croydon...  :smiley:

Presumably this is only for unconfirmed orders after week 45. Mine is confirmed for wk47. Please don't tell me that I've got to call VW CC again to make sure that it hasn't moved.

Would have thought that moving confirmed build weeks would be a PR disaster...
