Can anyone tell me the number for VW? I am still showing as processing since 15th of May.

Try 0844 375 4625.  People on the end of that line know all about GTIs and the problems we are facing!

I got chastised for calling the 0844 number  :grin: he changed his tune when I told him I was seriously considering cancelling if I didn't get some answers.

Anyway ladies and gents the nice young lady grumpy boy put me through to told me I am provisionally build week 40  :shocked: and to expect my car by the end of october, about 6 weeks late.

20 weeks after ordering my car the tracking tool confirms my car is being built. By he time the keys are in hand that will be around 24 week lead-time. Better the 12 months for my MK6. I suppose one could argue thats a real improvement! Well done VW  :laugh:

This... After them telling you that you had been pushed to BW51?
BW37 should be confirmed on tracker now - are you?

This is all getting confusing...!

BW37ers should definitely be confirmed now on the tracker - I doubt anyone unconfirmed at this stage will be getting a car built on BW37. More VW porkies? Definitely need to check that tracker.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Scratch that.  OF1 post was made last week.  Well before he cancelled!

Just thought i'd let everyone know where i'm at now; BMW 320d M Sport Saloon. Estoril Blue with Black leather.

Went to check out the 1 Series and got an unbelievable deal on a new 3 Series with Media Pack Professional, M Sport Plus Pack, Heated Seats, Lumbar Support, PDC and Folding Mirrors.

Got a better trade on my Mini, £2,610 deposit contribution and 6% off List.

All in all for a car with a list price of nearly £38k, it's working out at £30 per month more than my GTD. Which had a list price of £28k.

Car due mid October.

Having had a 320d (not this new shape) I can tell you right now its a much better car than a GTD, which is why its more expensive.  But if you can get one for nearly the same price as the Golf then go for it - beautiful car and drives like a dream.

It's with Bowker Blackburn. However the deposit contribution is blanketed across all dealers as it's on the BMW website!

I do agree they are a wonderful car. My dad is driving a new 330d M Sport and it's rather special. I thought when looking for a new car the 3 Series would be way out of my budget.

Seems like the GTD fiasco has been a blessing in disguise after all.
