Build Week 36ers

[mcmaddy]

Any build week 36ers seen any change to the tracker yet?

[Valenni]

Well I am week 35 (01/09/10) and it's still showing as 'Build week confirmed' Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 01/09/2013

I expect it to change soon?

My tracker is showing the same, "Build Week Confirmed Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 01/09/2013"

Really want it to say "Build in Progress" Maybe tomorrow it will say that (he hopes!) 

[Valenni]

Here hoping Sam!

I would be amazed if ours did not change at the same time mate.

It’s not officially late until Sat night/Sun morning switch over, at which point the tracker will probably default to “build in progress” (like it did with the BW33ers at the turn of BW34). If your BW36 car switches on the tracker on Sunday morning, you might want to ring VW UK early next week to see if it has actually been started.

Some BW33 cars were made early on in BW33 – if no BW36ers are getting built in BW36 (as it seems here), then that would suggest to me that VW are more behind in BW36 than they were in BW33 and that they haven’t been closing the backlog in the last 4 weeks since shutdown.

If your actual car build week is a few weeks later than confirmed BW then you might have to pester VW UK to try for “priority shipping”. That might see your GTI/GTD jump the shipping queue over a standard Golf that has only had an order to build wait of 8 or 10 weeks.

Guys im a BW34er and in my experience and others in BW33 you will most likely update on Saturday night.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Mine read Build in progress for 16/17 days before it changed today ( ) to in Transit.

I was told by VW CS that there is a 10 day - 2 week delays for all build weeks at the moment therefore its a Buildfortnight. You could be one of the lucky ones who get a build and in transit in a matter of days.

Priority Shipping - I will have to call today and see if this can be arranged.

Mine changed to Build In Progress at the start of BW34 and its still the same 

The dealer says as soon as he can that he will be getting priority shipment, this car was an original order for the dealer way back when the order book opened, I hijacked it end of June and changed the spec, he says third week of Sept latest to be sat in it

I am a BW 36 and mine is still not showing Build in Progress yet?  It appears there is more delay to look forward to.  Just when you get your hopes up and start to get excited, they are dashed again.  Will let you know as soon as mine changes.

Yes unfortunately due to them being a couple of weeks behind it might not change to in progress until Sunday morning  But that may just be the default behaviour of the tracker which happened for me. I was 33 and wasn't built until week 35.

Whether they're trying to make time up in the shipping time or unless I was just lucky, but I went into transit 29/08/13 (4 week message), It was then at the docks 31/08/13 (3 week message), on a boat 04/09/13 (10 day message) and now in UK 05/09/13
