Build Week 21 is finally here

[Diehammer]

This is definitely BW 21 m8. Your dealer is at it. On the bright side though it looks like you will get MIB II

[TH91]

That's what I thought.

I kindly provided him a link to the Week Numbers website and told him it was actually 21.

Will see what happens next however he is conveniently going on leave for a week haha.

It's only a week at the end of the day and the MIB II would be the silver lining.

Every cloud and all that

Well the City of Amsterdam is on its way to Newcastle, hopefully my car & monkeyhangers car are on board.

I have had a phonecall from my salesman today. He rang up VW UK to have a moan at them, only for them to say it is on the City of Amsterdam. His system doesn't show that it is on the ship, and the customer's tracker for stage 5 hasn't changed from "3 weeks to delivery" (as is the case for 5b), nor have I had a 5c text. Hopefully i'll have a stage 6 text tomorrow afternoon (or does that happen after the car has cleared customs rather than when the ship is unloaded? Can't remember.).

Pulman have just got a Polo GTI demonstrator in too, so i'll have to get a test drive in that as it is on the shortlist for the wife's car.

Might be looking at Tues/Weds for my car if they come and get it from the dock like they did for my dad's GTD.

Hopefully yours will be on there too Diehammer. I've asked my salesman not to let it near the auto car wash at Pulman's Durham branch.

I have heard about 5b being skipped regularly so hopefully we will go straight to 5c tomorrow morning and hopefully a 6 in the next couple of days.

Why would they put a brand new car anywhere near an auto wash? going to tell my dealer not to bother washing it i think.

[monkeyhanger]

I got my 5b text 21 days ago - it's the 5c text that has been skipped. Maybe i'll get a stage 6 late tomorrow. My dealer is confident about a mid-week pick-up and he said he'll try and pick me a "nice" plate from the ones available too.

I would make sure the dealership you use doesn't have an auto wash (the Sunderland Pulman branch where I have got my previous VWs from doesn't have one). Need to buy some Iron X.

Glad to hear its on its way, you may still get your 5c tomorrow when its nearly in the UK if not straight to stage 6. All exciting now!!

21 days from 5b is crazy tho. I should be on for a midweek pickup fingers crossed.

[Diehammer]

Oh well looks like my car never made the ship yesterday, just got my 5b

[monkeyhanger]

And I just got my 5c. They must send the notifications out in batches.

[Diehammer]

I get all my notifications at 8:45am, Anyone know when the next ship is due into tyne? cant find anything.
