BW40 Club

dippy_x - Yes the whole build from the W/C slot has moved fairly quickly, I know others have not been so fortunate

Update from my dealer late yesterday: My car hasn't even started build yet. No explanation. Seriously starting to get pi55ed off now

@Neil That's really bad news pal. Sorry to hear. The build slots honestly seem like a lottery. Especially as your car was supposed to be priority tagged (if I remember correctly).

The only crumb of comfort I can offer is that things seem to be speeding up at the factory (I.e. The initial bottleneck seems to be easing somewhat). So, if your car gets built next week you shouldn't have to wait too much longer.

Same here. A confirmed BW clearly in some cases has no bearing on when it will actually be built. Spoke to some numpty from VW UK yesterday (and I don't necessarily trust for one second what he said..but) who told me not to expect to see any movement out of "build in progress" until 20th October as they give themselves 2 weeks from the end of the quoted build week to get it done!

That's my status changed to 10 days.  Car should hopefully be with the dealers this week sometime  .  I spent a week at 3 weeks transit - not bad considering the wait some others have had to endure at this point.

I got the 'parts shortage' line after having a bit of a moan to the dealer at the weekend - and told to expect an update in 2 weeks

Car now 'in transit' as of this morning 

[dippy_x]

That's good news Neil... So much for an update in two weeks.

Mine updated this morning to step 6 of 7.  Now in the UK and awaiting delivery to VW retailer.  Spent 3 days at the Transit 10 days status.  Not long to go now hopefully (although a small part of me is now feeling a bit jipped that after waiting all this time we are gonna miss the BW45 changes by just a couple of weeks)

Good to see things are moving for yours. No such luck with mine still stuck on build in progress  maybe tomorrow...
Any other BW40ers not in transit yet? Looks like even some BW39ers are still in this situation

[Neil_MK]

I checked the tracker this morning not really expecting anything after what the dealer told me. Looks like nobody outside of Wolfsburg really has a clue what's going on in there and it's a bit of a lottery as to how delayed a car will be.
