Just checked the tracker and its gone from build week confirmed 1.9.2013 to "Your order has been confirmed for production. Please contact your Volkswagen retailer for further information" What does this mean in real world terms? Has my car started to be built??

Maybe they're being a bit more honest on the tracker rather than saying it is being built when it is not. VW UK will know whether it is being built or not. I'd give them to the end of the build week, it's not officially late in building until Saturday (by the old rules) or next Saturday (by the new rules, whch claim BW is a 2 week window).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I'm waiting on my GTD being built W/C 15/09. A fella I work with ordered his company lease car, a Golf 1.6 TDi SE. His was showing confirmed build week and scheduled for production W/C 25/08. I checked the tracker on Sunday morning, the 1st Sept (a previous thread said that the VW system updates on a Sat night. I did check on Sat night but it never recognised either of our tracker numbers so must be the case) Any way! When I checked the tracker for his car on the Sunday morning it had gone from 'confirmed build week' to 'in transit' and missed out the 'build in progress' part altogether.

Just saying as it may miss it out for most of us & is most likely to change on Sunday (8th) for you too.

Here's hoping  :smiley:

Hey Norbreck, That screen grab looks sweet (I'm still at number 2 btw). I had no idea you were this far advanced. Happy for you mate. Love to see it when it arrives :smiley:

Mine still on track to be in stock for 10th October available 17th-20th had confirmation to this yesterday.

Looks like I will be getting my final teaser moments from yours given mine is the same GTD 5 Door DSG White with the ACC also.

There are 8 stages to build (the dealers have access to the 8 stage process, but we don’t), the last one being the quality control sign-off on your car. Stage 5 would seem to be early/mid assembly. The car is probably no more than 15 hours away from finishing.
