GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[monkeyhanger]

I was the first person at my dealership to order a GTD and they had only had 1 GTI order then, so I dont think dealer allocation has much to do with the wait we are experiencing and the build weeks slipping back!

But you do have the rear view camera! How long ago did your order start slipping and what was it originally intended to be before slippage?

Think my lack of confirmed build date is to do with the rear view camera.

I see no sign of a confirmed BW, but the dealer says build will be 8th Aug !!

Only option I chose was the Nav Pro.

I'm about to ring VW !

Dealer is talking out of his ar7e as earliest date for build currently is 12th Aug ie BW33 because of the shut down. Also, if that was the case you'd be showing BW Confirmed on the tracker - are you?

That depends on whether they had a 3 or 4 week shutdown. All sources agree shutdown started BW29, but was it 3 weeks (to end of BW31) or 4 weeks (to end of BW32)? How hard should it be for us to know how long the shutdown is?  8th Aug is in BW32 (should they be working), but they state the week and not an exact day so that should be sometime in w/c 5th Aug.

As above, if the BW is 32 or 33 then the OP will be confirmed on the tracker by now, if not we're talking minimum of BW36 (which would probably be confirmed Thurs/Fri next week if it is BW36)

That's the problem, I expected a confirmed BW on the tracker by now 

I have just called VW, they say it may be because of the shut down, and are looking into it for me - I have to call back later this afternoon. Fingers crossed eh!
As its taken this long, to be honest, I would not want the car until September (for the new reg) - may as well have some small benefit for the long wait!

I must admit - I am totally peed off with seeing "Processing your Order" on the tracker!! - A confirmed build date would at least give me a date to look forward to

I'm BW33 and I (and other confirmed BW33'ers) got my notification towards the end of BW26 - although that is 7 weeks notice, it is only 4 production weeks notice (assuming 3 week shutdown). I do think VW UK are spinning you a yarn that it may be "due to the shutdown" that you haven't heard if you are confirmed BW32/33 but hopefully they will have some answers for you today either way.

[matchboy]

I agree with the above, if you were BW33 then you would be confirmed on the tracker by now - they are telling you porkies.  I hope I'm wrong though!

[RikWebb]

I'm forever the optimist ! and cant complain too much - look at bear, he has been waiting an age!

Will let you know what they tell me

It's a four week shutdown according to this dealer document posted elsewhere by AAddict... (info in the red box at the top right)
