Ok, I'm impatient.... VW Online Tracker
« on: 04 March 2014, 00:13 »
Sooooooo,

I'm starting to get so impatient that my missus reckons I'm either a saddo or mentally challenged.  :rolleyes:

My order is 'still with the factory' on the VW Tracker, how long does one have to wait to for it to change to the blummin' 'confirmed build week' step.  :cry:

Pleeeeaaaase don't say something like the week before, I think i'd possibly go mad  :whistle:

I'm in the same situation.

Ordered early January and still with the factory.  I called my dealer, who came back with a "probable" build week 14, so it may be worth calling your to see if they have a better idea ?

I know the feeling, I must check the tracker 10 times a day!

The tracker should change to build week confirmed around 4 weeks before your actual build date, which for me meant waiting around 12 weeks before the tracker changed to build week confirmed :cry:

The dealer in the UK is only guessing until the factory in Germany gives a confirmed build week.

It took a few weeks for mine to swap over from 'with the factory' to 'build week confirmed' which I'm now watching with great anticipation. I had a hairy moment when the dealer had incorrectly ordered a manual instead of DSG but I spotted it the second I tracked my original order number.
In terms of timing, I ordered on 23rd Jan and got confirmed for build week 12 on 21st Feb.

My dealer gave me a provisional BW before it got confirmed on the tracker and it turned out to be correct when it eventually showed on the tracker itself.

YOu are no saddo!!!! I was exactly the same as you, and going MENTAL waiting for it to change. Hopefully your dealer will contact you with an unconfirmed build week soon. Then it should tick over to BW confirmed soon.

Hang on in there…. IT is VERY MUCH WORTH IT! :laugh:
