GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[philgage78]

Hi,
New to this forum and seems like plenty of people are pulling their hair out like me.
Ordered a 3 door standard GTD May 15th and still don't have a confirmed build date, dealer says at the min it's BW51 but it seems that can change at the drop of a hat.
This is getting beyond a joke now. I have to wait though, not many sporty diesels that match the golf in terms of performance and price.

Phoned for another update and I have had my build week moved but only by a week from 40 to 41. I asked why others were getting moved into next year and she said that she could only comment on my particular case and that the delays with mine were probably down to the reversing camera.

Said I should phone again in a couple of weeks to make sure the build week hasn't moved again.

I don't want to say they're lying to you but I wouldn't put much stock in this explanation if they gave it to me!

Yeah I got the feeling it was a standard answer being reeled off to anyone who had a reversing camera in their order. Last time I asked they never said the camera was the reason for the delay.

Well I suppose thats good news that not *every* GTD is being moved to BW51.  Just out of interest - when did you order?

I think we need a Poll to find out who is cancelling due to this order mess !!
If anybody from VW took a look - maybe it would spur them into some sort of action??

I have started to look at what other cars are about now - I'm fed up with the wait and lack of information.
I expected my BW to be confirmed (again) this week.

Just checked and tracker now showing build week confirmed for w/c 15/9 so week 38. My dealer has been saying week 38 for a while, started at 36 and slipped a couple of weeks. At least its not week 51 and my build has the infamous reversing camera and DSG

They don't give a toss.  Even my dealer who is a nice chap said if my client was to cancel his GTD order then it doesn't bother him as he'll sell it tomorrow such is the demand.

I have been told mine is being built on the 10th Sept - but still no confirmed date on the tracker!

I am beginning to honestly believe that mate - disgusting!
