VW Order Tracker
« on: 05 August 2013, 11:40 »
Is it me or does it take ages for the VW Order Tracker to actually update?

My dealer has confirmed build week 40 (factory accepted order) - so 1st week in October, but the tracker still hasn't updated. I was told this around 2-3 weeks ago!

I guess this is the same for everyone? Already getting fed up with the wait, I feel for people who are still waiting for cars that were ordered in April!

You probably won't get an update on the tracker until the Thurs/Fri before 4 full weeks away - for you that would mean Thurs/Fri BW35. Confirmed isn't confirmed (whatever the dealership says ) until VW have locked your order out for production 4 weeks before build week.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

You should change in bw36 on the tracker. I've lost the plot, what bw are we currently on?

Today is BW 32.

Also Chief, in a way I am coming to the opinion that being told something ridiculous like BW40 is possibly better.

Initially I was told BW39 (after I paid the deposit, before that it was all "you'll have it by end of July") and I was not happy.  However, every time they've brought it forward they have then put it back again.  Perhaps its better to get a realistic estiamate and stick with it so you can come to terms with the wait, rather than their current strategy which seems to be promise that the car is 4 weeks away and will be confirmed "soon"... only next week it is still 4 weeks away... and the week after that... and so on and so forth.

Yay! Only a week until mine is built - means I get the pleasure of pressing refresh a few more times than normal over the next 10 days or so.

Me too! I will be glued to the tracker from about Weds next week. Are they building all the red ones next week? What colour is yours Pauliem? The week my dad's was built seemed to be DBP week.

I am actually looking forward to you guys getting your cars so we have more owners and can have more chat about the car rather than bw's
