Same as that, I spoke to VW customer services today and was told that build had not been started yet, I asked what the point of an allocated build week was and was told they have a 2 week window in which to complete the build! So build weeks appear not to count for much at all! Still ok for Christmas though I'm confident!

I had an e-mail from my VW dealer today informing me that all Golf production has been put back by 3 weeks! making my build week 44 (confirmed) to build week 47. Not good news, they have offered to lend me a Golf GT cabriolet until my GTI arrives, still assured I'll be in it for Christmas although it may be Christmas eve! :whistle: Is there a build week 47 thread yet?! :laugh:

I was on the phone to the dealer at 8 this evening (working late!) and he said he will look into my build and speak to me tomorrow. Hope it's not that late. Trading my car to them on 30 Nov so if I haven't got it by then hopefully I can get a courtesy car.

Mine is stage 7 of 8.  I've no idea what these stages are, but I would presume that's the painting to be done.

Anyone else got an update?
