Is it just be who constantly checks VW Tracker?
« on: 05 November 2013, 12:56 »
So since placing my order last week, I have properly checked where my order is about every 2 hours  :grin: It's as if I'm expecting a miracle.

To make matters worse, it almost just gave me a heart attack. So I type in my order number, and it comes up with build week confirmed '17/11/13'. Then I see it says Golf S 105 and saw I had typed in the order number wrong.

This is killing me. I can't keep doing this for 6 months!
Recently sold my GTD.

Yeah you can. I've been doing that for 4 months, and that's full in the knowledge that it only updates on Sundays  :whistle:

I'm yet to get to this stage but I'm sure I will!

I placed my order nearly 2 weeks ago now but my dealer hasn't told me anything about the online tracker... I haven't even had an order number so I suppose I best check it out... (Off I go to ring the dealer...  :whistle:)

It is an addiction, especially on Sundays and Mondays when it is supposed to update. However the last few weeks, as mine was being delivered, it updated mid-week. So keep checking lol  :laugh:

I had tracker addiction! For nearly 7 months I had it as my home page, both in work and at home. I'd even a icon on my iPhone too. It got worse...I used to check it whilst going to the bathroom in the middle of the night!

I'm out of rehab now and into the luscious leather seats of a GTD. Tracker mania for me is OVER!!  :grin:

Hi folks, I'm also in this gang. We should maybe start a self help group.

I'll go first.
My name is Gary and I'm an addict. Its been 10 mins since my last hit and I'm starting to twitch already!!

The worst thing is, its not even gonna be my car, its the wife's, and we don't even want it until March. I just can't help myself.

Its just another sick VW joke to screw with your head!!! There's probably a computer program monitoring how often you check the tracker which is linked directly to how quickly they then build your car.

Current,
2021 Audi S3 Vorsprung, Tango Red.
2020 Up Gti, Tungsten silver. (Early buy for daughter...who's 15!!)
Previous,
2019 Mk7.5 Gti PP, Indium Grey.
2016 Mk7 Gtd Carbon grey.
2014 Mk7 Gti, Tornado red.
2006 Mk5 Gti, Reflex silver.     Plus many more.

Funny! I'm an addict too, I confess. I also think VW tracks us when we track our order! Question is… do you think they build it quicker the more times you check? Or do they slow it down the more you check? :huh:
Who knows… but like waiting for a kettle to boil, if you watch over it, it feels like ages!!! MUST try & leave it alone! :grin:
