VW Order Tracker

[matchboy]

Ordered on the 18th of April and the same thing they've been saying for months "should be" build week 36 but still cannot confirm it. Closing in on four months now. Lots of other cars have been ordered since and had BW confirmed so I think I've got every reason to be suspicious along with the rest of us still waiting.

My Mercedes dealer told me the week my car would be delivered the first day I bloody ordered it! Anyway, my rant is now over. lol

The way confirmed builds appear on the tracker should mean that you'll hear by the end of this week (Thurs/Fri) if you haven't slipped from BW36.

Or not as the tracker is being updated, and lets face it it won't be up and running by Thursday!    Your dealer should be able to give you a confirmed BW by Friday though Lagerlout, as you will be 4 weeks from build.

I think they are changing the wording on the tracker from 'Processing your order' to 'We don't know and we don't care'!!
They probably haven't got the parts to make the change though so it'll take a few days to get an unconfirmed build week for the new tracker option

I think they should do a little animation character that will 'sing' a "we don't know and we don't care" song.  Every time you refresh the tracker it will add in another character and increase the volume proportionally.

Would makes things more amusing at least...

EDIT:
When you car is finally built it can drive onto the screen bashing all the "don't care" characters out of the way like skittles.

Come on VW, forget making the GTIs, you need to work overtime to make this happen! (errr, is this what VW management said regarding updating the tracker? )

They have probably just got annoyed with us refreshing the page all the time and switched the page off to wind us up!

Have you checked the tracker in the last 3 weeks Norbreck?  It should have said BW confirmed.  Once that's locked in there's no changing it, its 99% certain.  If its not we're all f7cked! 

Yes matchboy, for the last 6 weeks or so it's been saying "Build week confirmed", but obviously the tracker doesn't show you which week, but from my dealers screen - it said 33 13

This is good news - especially as you have the rear cam option.

Yes, but that's what's worrying me dippy, even if it does arrive on time, will it be with or without the reverse camera (surely they would have informed me by now if the camera can't be supplied for next week ?)

If you have gone to confirmed I would expect your Golf to be as you specced it.  Surely your dealer would be alerted if there was going to be a change/something missing?

Maybe it will sing always look on the bright side of life  , then show you a photo of a gti / gtd

they might be taking everyone's suggestions on board, the tracker is currently offline, might be updating it
