Got an interesting letter today from VW.

Apparently there has been a delay on my build date and as a result they have enclosed £50 of leisure vouchers as a gesture of goodwill.  :huh:

I emailed my dealer last week and my car was sitting in Emden waiting to be shipped. Thanks VW for the £50  :grin:

I think VW are having a laugh "leisure vouchers" Go and buy some trainers your car is late and you will be needing them in the mean time !

Yea I wouldn't be pleased if my car had been delayed and this is what I got in the post!! It is quite frankly a joke! :angry:
I'll just give the dealer a quick call and see if this is a mistake, but i'm 99% certain it is! :undecided:

Update - Just got off the phone to the dealer and there is nothing wrong. So now I can treat myself to some cleaning stuff :grin:

I've received the same letter and vouchers, I thought it might have been because they couldn't get me the car by 1 March, which was the date I wanted the car for.

Nice gesture, but I might email the dealer just to check everything is Ok.

I also got this letter and vouchers - no idea what they are going on about with their carefully worded apology. When I prdered I was told five months or so to get the car and thats how its panning out... maybe they have just had so many people moan they decided to do a block voucher distribution to everyone with a car on order regardless. I guess it will pre-empt the people who have not complaiend yet...

Oh and I am still at 'three weeks to go' and have been all week. If it really means that then I would not expect it to change to 10 days until mid next week.

Yea I was told the wait would be around 5 months when I ordered.
Was very surprised when I got the letter in the post, not sure why they are doing it now!

My tracker hasn't changed either, but I'm thinking/hoping I should have my car by the 22nd!

Hopefully not too long for you now!
No Change! Still saying 3 weeks :cry:
Maybe the tracker has just given up on me due to how often I check it  :grin:

Do you know what port your car arrived at?
