The wording on mine changed yesterday on the tracker from confirmed for production wc 21st Dec to just confirmed for production. I think that means they have definitely started build and when/if it actually shows stage 4 "build in progress" it will be about to leave the factory.  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

My Current GTi was built BW3 last year which was WC 12/1/14 and it had arrived at the dealer by 4th Feb. You should be fine for a 1st March delivery  :wink:

Asker, your mk6 was rattle free unlike mine so im sure your mk7 will be too.
Unlike you I actually like the S3 saloon and for some reason it reminds me, but i dont know why of the the type 44 audi 100 my father ran from new in 86 until late 98 when he changed it. If they only made cars as well engineered and assembled nowadays. That car was faultless,  rattle free, and rust free for its entire stay with us. It also reminds me of the small boot Audi 90 20Vs I always liked when I was younger. I just dont think I could join the audi crowd the way I seem to get tailgated blinded and annoyed by local Audi drivers. The saloon would be too unpractical for my only car too.

Geoff: Yes my Mk6 GTI was rattle free until the last 3 months of ownership. The main rattle come from behind the speedo. Then on the day it was sold the rattle stopped!

So, I spoke to my Fleet Manager today and asked whether I could add another cheap option like Keyless without it affecting my BW. His answer was a resounding NOOOOO. Monday March 2nd delivery it will be I am told.

I will give VW UK a call next Tues 6th Jan (I will give them a day to let things calm down after what will be the frst day back at work for many - myself included) to see where my BW is, last time of asking was BW15 from BW4 and then BW8.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
