VW Order Tracker

Fair play - very annoying. :-( Will pester him for an update.

Hoping this reversing camera issue doesn't delay the order.

On a side note, does anyone know when VW's financial year end is? I was thinking, that depending on how the quarters of the year break up they may be 'delaying' orders to balance our revenue throughout the year. Crazy through I know, but just a theory. :-) Could also be tied to dealers, if they get bonuses for hitting a certain amount of revenue in a financial quarter, they themselves may be pushing orders back where it benefits them.

Guys, as the VW tracker seems down -just tried it and got -

"Thank you for visiting our vehicle delivery tracker. We are making some improvements to the content you see at each stage, so the vehicle delivery tracker is currently unavailable.

Please check back in a few days. We apologise for any inconvenience."

According to my dealer and his screen, my confirmed build week is next week (Week 33). Now with all the talk of rear view cameras delaying builds etc (which I have specced), as it' so near to build now (1 week away), is there still the possibility do you think that my build will get pushed back - or do you think as it's so near, it should be rock solid ?

Dealer says it "should" be fine but doesn't fill me full of confidence !

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!

Just went off on one at my dealer, three months after ordering still no build week. But I'm hardly alone am I. I'm dumping mine if I don't get it by October, can't afford to wait any longer as I need a car by then. BMW here I come. Really sh!t service from VW.

What did the dealer say?

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

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

I don't think anyone here has seen a confirmed week go unfulfilled, the trick is to get to that stage. I'm sure BW33 is when yours will be built, along with mine!

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.

Yep, you should be ok then, like monkeyhanger and me! Fingers crossed anyways!
