What's on yours that is holding up the build? I don't care how much a good car the R is it's not hand built and anything over 6 weeks is a joke never mind 6-12 months. I'd be seriously kicking off with vwuk about some form of recompense. I hope you got a guaranteed trade in price off the dealer.

Who knows what the hold up is?  No guaranteed trade-in to consider, hoping to sell privately.

Anyway, I have had an update of sorts from my dealer this morning (via email - I think he's frightened to talk to me in person!), informing me that my unconfirmed build week is now showing as BW37.  Hmm, heard similar before!!!

So I will have to wait and see if this transpires to be true.  If so, I should hear this week I would think, though I have asked my dealer if this is the case.  I have also told him that whilst I hope this info proves to be accurate, given all the other build week movement, I am, at best, a little sceptical.

I have also asked him if he's had an actual proper response from VWUK with respect to the querying  of my order status, i.e. a reason as to why it's taking so long to get a confirmed build week, and why it the est BW had dropped right back last week?  And also requested that I am immeadiately informed of any further developments.

So watch this space!.........

I've just been given a bw 37 or 44 for the tiguan I ordered yesterday. Must be something particular that's holding yours up as apart from the new discover nav not much is shared.

Hi Booth,

I cancelled after a similar experience with my GTI PP. The order number is still showing as live, and at stage 2, when I plug it into VW's tracker. Spec is in my sig so not sure if there is any correlation there that might be holding yours up too? Obviously my dealer may have done something with the order after I cancelled to hold it up even more or it may just be a blip in the system full stop and, regardless, VW should be telling you why it's held up! It was an unconfirmed BW33 when I cancelled having ordered originally at the end of Feb.

It was taking the piss with mine considering i waited 27 weeks. I think you must have ordered around a similar time (Jan)

When i picked mine up last week the girl said "at least you didnt order an R" so i can only imagine every dealer in the country is having a mare....however, others have build weeks which is strange!!

Well I ordered on 29th Jan, knowing there was a long lead in time for an R.  I preferably wanted the car 1st Sept and had thought that allowing 7 months would be sufficient.  Wrong!  But then for a long time there has been talk of a delay with Pretoria wheels, which appears to be backed up by many others experiencing delays, the common denominator being the wheels. 

Anyway, if my car does indeed get built BW37 that would be just about acceptable being an 8 month wait in total.  However  it was the slippage back to BW4 last week that raised some major concerns, and triggered me to contact VWCS and the dealer contacting VWUK, to query the situation.  On Friday, after him and me contacting them, and me being told they are looking into my order, they told my dealer to keep an eye on the system.  On checking it this morning he says my BW is now at unconfirmed BW37, so he hasn't actually spoken to VWUK at all today. 

We'll see what happens but I have heard this before.  I am still very sceptical, as my BW has moved back and forth and there is a pattern of it jumping forwards every time I have complained, only for it to drop back again soon afterwards.

So I'll believe it when I see it (stage 3 that is).  Anyway, enough of me moaning about it.

Sorry to hear that Bec. That's just ridiculous.
I think what makes it worse is the lack of communication.
If VW were to turn round and say they were having problems sourcing the wheels and to expect a 3 month delay then you can at least make an informed decision. But I doubt any company would be this truthful as it would lose them plenty of customers.
Which is a pity.
