GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[JJH]

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 what I thought, but I want to try and get a part ex value in writing for December collection

that shouldn't be a problem, they would have no reason not to if they beleive what they are telling is true.

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 don't think the hailstone issue has caused delays(yet!) - inspections and repairs are being done externally. Neil's replacement order is being done after BW 38/39, I suspect the rest will be the same - after the most recent confirmed orders (they can delay an unconfirmed order for these replacements without it officially being an issue. The only potential delay issue would be if they've run out of parking for new output prior to transport. Doubt if they'd stop for that - they'd get those damaged ones carted out to a field or aerodrome somewhere I would imagine, so they can carry on making cars.

Like others who face the same prob in BW 33, the whole week goes by and no update then last night before bed the tracker updates to being built. What are the turn around times anyone know.

Are you BW34? So as suspected, as soon as your build week has officially passed (Saturday night on the week your car was supposed to be getting built), the tracker defaults to "build in progress".

No one on BW33 who hasn't been built yet knows the turnaround. If between now and Tues when I ring VW UK back the car is in transit then it'll be 2 weeks, if it still hasn't been touched it'll be 3 and upwards. There are some white BW33ers who've been built and shipped out early in BW33, but Tornado Red cars seem to be a real issue right now.

I think the build is spread over something like 3 days, and they are pretty quick to transport the car to Emden.  From there, how long it takes to ship depends on a umber of factors, but mine only took 2.5 weeks from the day the build started to get to the dealership.

Hoping mine is built and released to Enden tomorrow for nigh-on immediate shipment to port of Tyne on one of the 2 VW carrier ships leaving Emden on Tuesday. Fat chance!
