BW15 Club

[Rick101]

Is this week (7th-13th) BW15?

I'm BW16 so can you lot hurry up and get your lot shifted

[ffrank]

Hi Rick, yes - although VW weeks start on Sunday so it's the 6th on the website!

Well I am swiftly moving out of the way for you - got my Text this morning! 



Good luck everyone else!

I imagine at 0844 on Thursday you'll get your 5b text. I'll keep my fingers crossed yours is on a boat by the end of the weekend

[ffrank]

That would be great Strangely the text I had this morning was another Stage 3 text, which made me think my build week had been changed! But on logging in all was well

A few gremlins in this system, hopefully it's developed by a different company to the software in the factory telling them which parts to fit where...

What configuration have you gone for frank?

Just wondering if VW make all the 3drs for that week then do all the 5drs or something like that.

Well done ffrank and congrats on being the first one to escape the factory (even though I ordered before you I'm not jealous at all ).

Did your tracker skip the 'Build in progress' stage?

I guess yours is a Sunday/Monday car (?) - I hope mine isn't a-  'let's get everything out of the way for the weekend' Friday car!

Thanks, hope you join me soon - or catch up at the ship lottery stage It did actually skip the Build in Progress stage entirely - which doesn't seem uncommon.

p9ul - I'm a manual 5dr sorry, and certainly lots of options. Working in IT I would be really interested to see how the heck they do determine the order of these things happening. From experience there is probably a lady or chap sat in an office approving car data for build and depending on how many sugars he had in his coffee he sometimes works from the bottom of the page up, and sometimes from the top down   

Although, I'm sure it's all automated... 

Good luck with prompt stages all!

I received the follwing e mail at 9.05 this morning:

Step 5 of 7: Your car has been built and has now left the factory. On average it takes 4 weeks from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer

The tracker missed out the Build in progress stage and although I signed up for it, no text received - but hey, just a month now before I can get behing the wheel!

Anyone other than ffrank received an update?

[p9ul]

No emails, no texts and now the website doesn't recognise my tracking number.

PANIC!

[ffrank]

Don't worry p9ul, I've had that error the last few mornings - I think they are doing something, give it 10 minutes and it should be ok!! You should be joining us any day now hopefully.

Great news kc99 Yeah, well as they sent me the wrong text and email anyway... 

I went on the tracker this morning and it asked me how they could make it better - um, make it give correct information when things change!
