Lucky you. Spoken to my dealer yesterday and it seems my car is being built this week, so the tracker was wrong. This would mean actually wk 24, not 23. Expecting delivery early July. Gutted...

That's not great Geo. I've found the tracker to be completely useless through the whole process, just got to stage 5 and only had 1 update! At least you'll get a full months tax if picking up early July!  :rolleyes:

Just got updated to step 5 in transit. 3 weeks left now. The notification email and text message on my phone were stating bw confirmed though as they've been for the last 3 updates.

I'm onto stage 5c now, with the 10 days remaining. Although the alerts from the tracker are all useless, the tracker itself is accurate according to my dealership. Fingers crossed I might be able to take delivery at the end of next week  :grin:

Sorry for being ignorant, but what do you mean by stage 5c? On my tracker I am only seeing stage 5 and then stage 6. Am I missing something here?

Sorry I should explain, there are three steps within stage 5. If VW's tracker was working properly you'd get the detailed messages via text and e-mail, but if your tracker alerts have been anything like mine, they're sporadic and hopeless. I've listed below the stages, the bits in brackets are my explanations of the stages.

3 - build week confirmed

4 - build in progress

5a - in transit: left factory (on a train to Emden port)
5b - in transit: shipping (at Emden port, awaiting a ship or being loaded onto a ship)
5c - in transit: near the UK (on a ship that's underway to Grimsby/Sheerness)

6 - arrived in UK (at Grimsby/Sheerness, transport to dealership being arranged/underway)

7 - car has arrived (delivered to dealership nominated PDI location)

Hope this helps  :smiley:

That makes sense now. Cheers mate.
At the moment my tracker is showing this:

Your car is on the next stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 3 weeks for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.

Hah maybe, dealer claimed it arrived at Sheerness port yesterday but I can't find a boat on marinetraffic that matches this, all a bit strange! Not going to complain though, I originally ordered in January so I've been waiting long enough
