Im guessing you either got that from VW dealer or VW customer service. If you have your commision number then you can phone VW customer service and they will confirm if your car is now in its confirmed build slot.
In gerneral a build slot is 'normally' only confirmed 4-5 weeks before the build starts.

Due to new engines in the golf range and a few other things build slots the past week or 2 have been all over the place moving back and forward all over the place. Myself i have not got the currage to even go ask these past couple weeks as it could easily move again later in the week or the following week. Thats why im waiting till 4-5 weeks before the date i was given a week or so ago as if i phone it may just depress me  :grin:

Week 51 sounds about right to me. As that seems about right from the order to build week thread we have in the forum thread below.

just got this email from dealer im just about two throw the towel in and cancel nearly 6 months to wait for a gti golf

Try not to look at what I'm about to say as bad news!
 
The car is now showing Build Week 6 2010, which would place delivery around Mid March 2010 - which obviously I can appreciate isn't what you want to hear. However, this build date still hasn't confirmed, so it could quite easily move forwards from then.....it had previously, as you know, been at build week 2, then back to build week 50, and now to week 6. My hope is that they've moved it to here, with the aim to then move as many orders back into earlier build weeks as possible. For instance, my new demo, which is also a 3dr GTi, has also moved to Week 6, and it was ordered just before yours. Let me watch it over the next week or so and if and when it changes, I'll immediately let you know.

Allocation shows 06/2009, should that not be 06/2010?  If that's straight from their computer system, then it's no wonder they can't schedule their production.

just got this from him is he talking bull has anyone elese heard this

Think I've found what might be the issue on VW's dealer ordering site ;
 
Radio restrictions
As per bulletin 1421-09, we are experiencing restrictions on RCD 310 and 510 availability, which is affecting production on all models. If you have not done so, please read this bulletin.
 
The 510 model is the stereo being added to your car. This was published in week 45 (3.5 weeks ago), and states that they expect the restriction to last for 4 weeks. So what I'm figuring has happened is that they've moved affected orders to later build dates, with the aim to move them back when the Stereo systems are fully available again....so as much as I can't guarantee anything, I'm hoping that one morning I'll check your order and it'll either have moved to an earlier build week, or they'll have just started building it.

ordered mine a week ago, changed the spec a bit this week  -  was told last week that I'd see the car in March  -  in my mind, I'm thinking June and if I don't see it in March, April or May, I wont be disappointed  -  I hope my June thinking is reasonable  -  surely this all bodes well when considering resale value?? I've only seen 2 or 3 on the road this year...
