Mine is supposedly being built this week  :smiley:

You and me both mate. Spoke to dealer today he said he will update me by Friday as I have now threatened to cancel.

If you are BW35 confirmed, you probably are looking at an extra 2 weeks. The disparity is weird though - we've had BW33 cars built early on in BW33, the TR ones getting built in BW35, and no explanation as to why.

The dealers will have to moan more to VW for them to sit up and take notice, they're clearly not listening to the paying customer. Not sure whether VWUK are genuinely apathetic or got that way because they get shat on by VW Germany (lack of info), then sh!t on us - sh!te rolls downhill alright!

No, the DBP will look fierce also. It's just the waiting that makes you have 2nd thoughts.

My dad's DBP GTD looks mean when immaculate but he's regretting it as he's not keen on washing it a few times a week. There are pics of it here somewhere - probably in new arrivals around the start of July.

I look at those pictures when I think about the new A3  :whistle:

Thanks  :smiley:

Mine's been showing as in transit since the weekend  :smiley:

Is there any way of knowing when it will actually ship/arrive. It's coming into Croydon...

It will probably be coming into Sheerness. You can look out for ships leaving Emden for Sheerness on various websites, but to know which ship your car is actually on will require VW UK or your dealer's knowledge.

Out of curiosity, how long after build (stage 4) on the online tracker does it update to transit I'm hearing mixed things.

I like to think a man like Hattori Hanzo oversaw the making of my car.....

Hattori Hanzo: [in Japanese; subtitled] I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created, "something that kills people." And in that purpose, I was a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut.


Oh come on VW, sort it out

Mine showed as in build on the Monday it was due, didn't actually start getting built until mid-week, and was in transit by the following Monday. Total time to dealer was just 2.5 weeks from the start of the actual build.
