I phoned VW customer service this morning and was advised, how true all this is I don't know, that the dealers were notified by VW back in September to warn their customers of possible long delays due to more orders than expected across the Golf range.
VW telling the dealers in September is not much use for people who have already ordered in August. I know alot of dealers knew of problems at the start of October.

It's beyong a joke. I remember a couple of years back, VW stopped taking orders for one of the TSI engines for the golf match, and re-started selling the 1.6 FSI engine due to the back log... seems like they haven't got their act together yet... come on VW.

^ They did for a short time fit the 1.8TFSI unit in the mk6 golf due to a shortage of the 1.4TSI160 unit.

Spoke to my dealer tonight, originally I had BW48, it was then moved to BW01, and now I have no build week at all! 
I know how you feel. :sad: Mines the same. :sad:

VAT RISE
Autoexpress this week have a two page article about VAT and how different makes are handling it. Maybe worth a read in the local library of your choosing. :evil:

Almost makes me want to go out and order one just to get on your table  :grin:

Just an idea but maybe have:

date ordered
original build week
build week moved to
delivered

incorporated into the table and then you can see at a glance if any of the options are causing the build weeks to move etc??
