GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[monkeyhanger]

mcmaddy: I assume that when they confirm a build week they also are pretty sure what day any given car will be getting started in the build process +/- one day. Perhaps yours is always on the cusp of BW34 to BW35 as it always seems to be bouncing between BW34 and BW35?

For everyone past BW35, don't forget that there'll probably be 3 week of no tracker updates as 4 weeks before scheduled BW will actually be beyond shutdown:-

Tracker update to BW confirmed                    BW
26                                                            33
27                                                            34
28                                                            35
32                                                            36
33                                                            37

So BW36ers - don't fret if you don't get a tracker update in 2 weeks time, it should be 5 weeks time.

Excellent table and information the only actually usefull one on the GTI 7 forum so far, many thanks monkeyhanger 

I did say "probably" don't shoot me if it doesn't turn out that way, it's an assumption based on sound logic (something VW may not be using!).

Don't worry it's good stuff, will see if mine changes next week at some point

now dumped to wk36 and still no explanation. anyone who has ordered a rear view camera and is unconfirmed build might want to check your build week. mines dropped 2 weeks since Monday!! totally piss poor and pathetic treatment of customers.

Did you not cancel.  I may have misunderstood but thought you did.

My confirmed bw26 only went to transit on tracker at the end of wk27(today).
Not to sure how accurate the web tracker is.
Is it only there to keep us punters in the loop and therefore way behind actual car build???

spoke to the salesman today after thinking about it overnight. if it slides from 36 though it will be cancelled no ifs or buts.

Glad you're not out, but could understand if you were!

Was just reading some very flattering reviews of the Fiesta ST (the car I wanted 4 years ago but Ford refused to make) and given that you can have one now with no delay and for 60% the price of a GTI and 0-60 in 6.9s... I could live with losing that 0.4s in exchange for £12k no waiting and a car a lot of people are describing as the best hot hatch.  Knowing how my current Fiesta drives I don't think this is idle talk either.

I really wanted a GTI though so I'm sticking with it.

I'm a bit concerned that I've not even got an order number yet...hope the garage aren't trying to pull a fast one and fiddling their sales numbers by delaying my order.

Don't wish to alarm you but that's exactly what could be happening.

Hmm, think I'll ring back and kick up a bit of a stink tomorrow. Cheers for the heads up.

It took 8 weeks for my order number to arrive. I had to pester the dealer for it, apparently it arrived just after I called, hmm.
