VW Order Tracker

[OF1]

In May I was build week 38. And as of this afternoon I'm at Build week 37 (Been like this for a while).

I have the reversing camera so hoping to be confirmed next week.

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

More likely they are fed up with being pestered by us lot and are putting a bit more info on it to stop us calling.

I wonder if they get a Build Week for when their new tracking page will be built by the developer. 

Funny if they got a vague answer on that when they asked, they'd know how it feels then

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 ?)

But I warn you... you're not gonna like it.

if you've ordered before 30th june and specced the rear view camera your car will come with the rear view camera. when it will come is a different matter but it will definitely have the camera!! I'm  hoping to go into confirmed bw36 this week and I specced a rear camera.

Thats surely a win win situation. If they supply you a car without your specs then its a misbuild. Other misbuilds I've read about online from VW and Audi have generally been dealt with by the customer being allowed to use the miss-built car until the proper specced one arrives.  So you get to use a car "the proper way" until your one arrives.

If somebody ordered one with a camera, and it arrived without one, that will be a genuine mistake and not a supply-related thing.  I highly doubt that even VW, being as crap as they have been, would knowingly build a car out of spec without giving the customer a choice first.

I've asked the dealer if removing the reversing camera would bring my build week forward. He's "checking with the administration team", will keep you all posted.

Even if it brought it forward by a month, I wouldn't drop it.  For the sake of 4 weeks to have a car you want vs one that will always be missing something...  Not worth it for me, not on such a considered purchase.

I think its a bit daft for VW to not send the question to each of us who ordered the camera asking if we want to keep it or not, with the promise of a faster build if we drop it.  Everyone one who says they'd rather have the car sooner thats one less camera they need to find for those what won't compromise!

A huge side benefit is we'd all have the real information then and might calm down a bit.

I get the feeling the camera story is a smokescreen, the real reason is they just like to treat UK GTI buyers as mugs. The rest of europe have stock building up in the dealerships just sat waiting to be bought while a few hundred brits get more and more angry.
