CSG - unconfirmed BW 38 a month ago - no tracker update so I must have been shoved back - time to call the dealer on Mon/Tue and VWUK (dealer never gives me a BW)

Had a confirmed BW34 was due to be built this week. Still no update on the tracker to say that it's been built which is very annoying. As I have previously said I ordered end of April and was told that I would have a GTD by end of July mid August but 'conveniently' was delayed to Bw 33.

I called VWCS women was quite helpful, explained that the delays were causes by the factory shutting down for 4 weeks. Also advised that because of this the build may go into the following week. I enquirer as to why you would call it a build week. She asked that I contact them on tue as the relevant department is closed to allow them to give me a full update.

I then emailed the dealer and advised that what i am being told is not good enough and that if itsnnot reaolved by tuesday/wednesday I will seek to cancel as I am having to spend more money in getting around without a car as I have had to rent a car on a few occasions.

The dealer replied as follows:

 Thank you for your email.
I have checked on our ordering system today, and it is still saying build week 34. I don't know if it may not have updated because we are now at the weekend or not - but I have spoken to my Sales Manager today and he has asked if you can bear with us until Tuesday when VW re-open after the Bank Holiday so we can call them to see if there is anything we can do to help with your current situation.
Obviously, I do not want to lose you as a customer and I want you to be driving a Golf GTD, so I will do all that I can to keep your order here with myself.

I will call you on Tuesday to update you with what we can do for you.

This is like the blind leading the blind.

I am also waiting on GTD in tornado red, 3 door. Have had BW confirmed for 36, 1st sept but I really am not liking the feedback guys who should have been built by now are getting. I ordered on 28th march and patience is really starting to wear thin. I'm severely hoping something happens when we get to BW 36 or there is going to be a row lol

On another note, I see GTI with leather and red stitching, do we think this comes in GTD? As I have ordered leather on mine?

Gtd has grey stitching I believe

I bet that looks great!

Regarding BW33 delays, did we ever consider this was related to knock on effects as they try to deal with the damaged cars from hailstorm.  Could be a thousand and one things they have problems with from respraying damaged panels to not having sufficient capacity to transport cars around until they've cleared the backlog!

Also the factory shutdown is an inadequate excuse.  It was a scheduled event so could only cause a delay if there was another delay first that pushed the car back to BW29-32, at which point there would technically be a delay from shutdown...but that's not the real cause!

I wonder what the chances would be of asking for the GTI red stitched leather in a GTD????  :laugh:

On-line tracker just updated and is telling me the GTD is 'In transit'. Was BW32

MkVIIGTD, two hopes, bob and none!

I wouldn't believe a dealer telling me a new factory order would be ready for collection in December this year. I reckon February......

That's not what I like to hear... That's two weeks to build JJH?

Anyone any thoughts on who best to ask about the leather thing in GTD? Might be worth an ask but then again VW can't seem to do anything they are asked lol
