BW15 Club

[p3asa]

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

If you have a confirmed build week which you will have if its in April, then unfortunately you won't be able to add any more extras.
you'll just have to look on at the Dacia's with envy

BW15 is upon us, god speed Wolfsburg!

Congrats to all you 15ers, whose cars will soon be en route to Emden.

I believe it only takes a couple of days from car build starting to rolling out of the factory. Saying that, my dealer told me on the Wednesday that my car was being built, I got the 5a text on the Thursday and the 5b text on the Saturday.  BW just means your car will be built at some point this week , not necassary ly that is starts first thing Monday

Do you mean built on Wednesday and in transit by Saturday?

Think I read somewhere in the FAQ that it take around 30hours to put the cars together - just wondering how much of that is automated with the factory running 24/7...

Nah, I spoke to VW on the Wednesday (19th March) and they said my car was showing that the build hadn't started.  On the Thursday (20th March) at 0844hrs I got a text saying it was in transit: left the factory, then on Saturday (22nd March) at 0844hts I got the 5b text saying in transit: shipping.  I then didn't get the 5c text, but that Friday (28th March) I got a text saying it hand arrived in the UK. On checking my car actually arrived in the UK on the Thursday morning, then got to the dealers on Friday 4th. The tracker skipped stage 4 altogether.

Hi, I guess we can all help each other by sharing any tracker/text/dealer updates we get? My dealer e mailed me on 27 March to say:

Your Golf could be built at any stage during the week, once it has been built it is then transported to Emden docks in Germany, once it arrives it could be there for a few days, it could be a few weeks before being been put onto a boat for the UK.
 
So you are likely to receive your Golf earlier in May,

I've had no info from my dealer so far - everything I've found out is by checking the tracker on VW's website. I've now signed up for text alerts so will see what happens.
