Anyone got their GTD yet?

[monkeyhanger]

Well I have had a bit of a week with VW, Just before I went on holiday I got told that my car had slipped from BW38 to 51. just what you need when you are trying to relax in the sun but all you can think of is how much is it going to cost if I ring VWCS from abroad.

When I got back I rang VWCS and got through to Ms disinterested who told me that there is no point looking into it as it will not move and its definitely BW51. So I decided to cancel, had a look round for a few cars on the internet and set off to Peterborough to have a look around (Mk6 GTI was the first on the list).

I decided to stop in at the dealer in Stamford to let him know the plan. He completely understood but had a look at the system to see what the current info is and guess what..... I'm back to BW39

So I'm not cancelling, only a few weeks left to wait.

I think VW knocked a lot of orders back to see who would cancel, now that a fair few have gone we have been reinstated (just about) so thanks Bill, enjoy your BMW.

Lets hope I stay at BW39

Why would VW knock orders back to see who would cancel? That makes no sense at all

Sometimes I think VW CS like to mess with our minds. If you've been determined to have been a bit arsey with them they'll tell you BW51! Or, it really is BW51 but the dealer wants to keep your business, so he tells you it is still BW39. If you really are BW39 then you should definitely be getting confirmed on the tracker tonight or tomorrow as "build week confirmed".

My order tracking information moved from 4 to 3 weeks this morning, finally I see the light at the end of this very very long tunnel.....good news indeed.....

At no point have I ever been arsey with them, I only called them because I had just sold my car and wanted to know that things were still on track, which they weren't.

According to the dealer it was showing as week 51 for 1 week then went back to week 39. He showed me on his system so either its true (for now) or he is playing massively complicated mind games.

Another theory is that although my BW has slipped I actually feel ok with it because its not BW51!
Maybe VW are playing mind games.

Or most likely is that they haven't got a clue what is going on and its all controlled by Klaus the cleaner in Wolfsburg

I am hoping it will go BW confirmed overnight but I thought it should be there by now.

Ricepop: You should find out on what date that the factory officially accepted your order – that is the clock starter for the 20 weeks before they are obliged to give you a courtesy car.  You can’t be far off that time now if your order got accepted within a week of order placement.

I get it on the 16th September, my order was accepted 2 weeks after I ordered the car.
I spoke to someone at VWCS who told me that it will be equivalent to a golf so it shouldn't be an up.

They use Europa Car - so you'll get a billy basic Astra as that's what they have.  I know this as that's the sh!tter I'll be getting next Friday!

I contacted VW CS today and they said there are delays and that I can get a courtesy car from 23/09.  I told them I was previously on unconfirmed BW38 and what my BW was at the moment.  I was told that errrm... Im still on an unconfirmed of 38 which makes no sense and I could tell that the person really didn't have much of an idea.

I contacted my dealer and was told, after a bit of trying to avoid the subject, that I'm on an unconfirmed BW51 due to the volume of GTD orders.  Which is a bit of a kick in the nuts.  I ordered start of May.  Apparently one of their first GTD orders isnt due till mid October.

Not really much else to do other than wait. 

Really hope you GTD'ers expecting a confirmed build on the tracker tomorrow get it but at this rate it seems difficult to know what to believe...

I ordered on 26 April and apparently am now build week 38.  I was build week 35, 2 weeks ago! The tracker still shows as with the factory.  When should you expect build week to be confirmed if the car is indeed going to be built in week 38?

About now.

So by Monday?  If not, does that mean that the car will not be built.  I'm one of the rear parking camera's, so am expecting a further push back.  If build week is not 38 and goes back any further, I'll be joining you Bill on the cancelation list.  Just wish I could afford the 135 as well!
