BW15 Club

[ffrank]

Hey everyone, I received a text and email from the Tracker yesterday at 8.45am showing I had advanced to confirmed BW for my GTD.

Although the alerts worked well, they don't actually give you a date - so I still had to go to the online tracker to see the date! 

Date was 06/04/2014, so BW15 which was also my estimated week.

Anyone else?

Hi ffrank,

Im also BW15. I ordered my carbon grey GTI on 16th Feb, initially I was told 17 weeks so its looking at arriving a fair bit sooner. Cant wait!!

I ve been lurking a while and don t really do forums, but Id just like to say thanks to the numerous knowledgeable posters on here for some of the info I have seen.

Also the photos of the cars which have kept me going.

Cheers

Hi Ffrank,

When did you order your GTD please ?

Mine is meant to be BW14, but no movement on the tracker yet.  I ordered first week of January.

Hi dBrian, you are benefiting from the recent speedy GTI lead times there, nice! Agreed regarding this forum - it's excellent and has been very helpful. Although it has been "responsible" for me adding a few extra options since ordering - thanks to some of the glowing reviews of various options

Hi Karlak, I ordered the last week of Jan so does seem you should have had an update by now - have you checked with your dealer if it's updated for them? Perhaps your tracker just hasn't updated, it does seem to behave a bit differently for folk!

Hi I'm a wk 15 build too! I ordered on 6 Jan via DTD and was advised it would be 20 to 22 week wait. Later,  the dealer (JCB) said it would be wk 14 build, so have lost a week some where

I'm moving from a Mk4 Gti T I've had for 15 yrs, so the extra week will come in handy to gen up on how to drive a 21st century car

What's the best guess on delivery dates - mid May?

Do you know how to sign up for text/e mail alerts?

GTD, Tornado red, panoramic, advanced phone, climate screen, rear camera, cheaper sat nav, keyless, park assist, winter pack, high beam assist, 5 yr warranty, 3 yr service

Hi kC99, that will be a nice replacement in the VW family for you! Although this is my first VW I have a feeling it won't be my last.

My spec is quite similar to yours:

GTD, Night Blue, panoramic, rear camera, cheaper sat nav, keyless, winter pack,  3 yr service but with 4yr Warranty, dynaudio and DCC instead of some of the options you have.

Dealer has told me early May, going by some of the times on here it could be first week of May, I'm expecting second week worst case!?

To get alerts you have to register an account with My VW and you can then add your car to your account and set the alerts.

Thanks ffrank - just registered to get alerts. It was interesting to read one of the frequently asked questions, which states the car is being built in Slovak republic, Bratislava, Mexico and Germany - hope all the bits fit together properly

Out of interest, when did you order your car?

[ffrank]

Lol, that would explain the wait then

I ordered last week of Jan, but not through a broker - which can add a few weeks if the supplying dealer have used all their build slots. So that might explain me catching up by a few weeks!

I'm build week 15 as well Got confirmation on the tracker about a week ago (admittedly I hadn't looked for a while!)

I'm going for a 3 door GTD in Tornado Red, with keyless, discovery Sat Nav (the basic one) and reversing camera. Ordered it at the beginning of February. Really looking forward to getting it, as I've heard that red cars go faster 

[kC99]

It was sad to see karlak's date slip to BW16 - I ordered on the same day (6 Jan) and had to quickly check the tracker - luckily I'm still BW w/c 6 Apl

Good to see johnboylds has joined us to keep up the numbers!?!

Does anyone know if VW have introduced any new options since we ordered? I'm planning to keep my GTD for some years and in 5 years time, don't want to look back and wished I'd got something, that  every Dacia is getting as standard
