I think others have said it changes to build confirmed about 4 weeks prior to your actual build day. if your week 34 like me then we've got another 2 months of the tracker saying processing  :sad:

I ordered mine on 2nd April and have a VW of 34. if I'd ordered first week in may I would be over the moon with build week 34!!

I have screenshots from my VW dealer's pc showing my car's build week, estimated at 37. This car was ordered on the 23rd May according to those same screenshots!

Maybe.  Dealers keep saying so but... We've yet to see any evidence. :tongue:

not really over the moon, i was told 14 weeks which makes delivery in bw34. So if my car isnt being built until then im looking at 18-20weeks from when i ordered.

After reading others on here, i cant complain but i wont be happy unless its here middle of august (very unlikely now). My lease company said they are sure it will get brough forward but will people saying the factory will be shut bw32-34 i cant see that happening. Time will tell.

To be honest I currently consider 20 weeks to be the minimum wait, although a lucky few seem to be getting 8-12 weeks even though they ordered 6 weeks behind some of the rest of us! haha You ordered after me but sounds like you'll be picking yours up 2 months before me.  I hope you get it though, at least some of us will be driving them before winter!!

I don't expect to collect mine until October now, and when I first posted here the discussion was about if the cars arrive late July is it worth asking the dealer to hold on to them for 63 plates or not... that is how bad the expectations have changed.  Initially I thought a three month wait was atrocious, but now I'm settled in for a 6 month haul.  Makes the 2 month factory order for my Ford look like a light speed build, but at the time even that seemed painfully slow! ha!

well like i said i cant complain, but i cant say im over the moon at the prospect of it being 6 weeks later than i was told. If i hadnt had come to this forum i would have been raging infact. Mine doesnt have any extra's and i wont be changing anything so hopefully i shouldnt get any further delays. My lease rep seems adament that my car will be delivered mid aug so if i here anything i will put it on here.
