I found out about this today - its only if its 20 weeks LATE.  eg. If you were originally given a build week of 5, and it still hadn't turned up by week 25, then you'd get one. 
Its highly unlikely anyone will ever be 20 weeks late
I guess there telling people different things to get out of it as its costing them a fortune! I was told 20 weeks from the order date placed on the dialog ordering system by my case hander at VWcs. When i questioned if i qualify it took them a few days to come back and say no as i was not part exchanging a car. :sad:

I was told by VWcs that I should get a car after 20 weeks of waiting.  My dealer investigated and told me it was 20 weeks late.  Today I had a call from one of the heads of VW UK regarding several letters of complaint I have written - including one about how incompetent their CW staff were.  He apologised a lot and told me the same as my dealer - that courtesy cars were offered after 20 weeks late - otherwise they'd lose a fortune handing cars out left right and centre since their build times were so slow at the moment.

He said if it was any consolation that he had to wait 6 months for his wifes car, so there is no employee preferential treatment for build times!  :laugh:

I guess they have changed the rules as it sounds like we were dealing with the same department. I have had two case handlers so far :sad: In the August thread a few have got the hire cars. :wink:

I ordered with the dealer on the 12th September. The build week is provisionaly week 11.meaning I may get the car, a red 5  door, only extra cruise control sometime in April. I guess I can't afford to spec the car up like some of  you guys on here!

Shame they did not have a red car somewere in stock as the dealer can retrofit cruise control as its in the accessory catalogue.

I wonder what updates we'll have from VW this week. The wait is killing me.

Just need to sort finance out now.

Anyone have any recommendations, figures etc?? I've not spoke to the salesman yet as i like to go prepared for any discussions involving money  :smiley: :smiley:
