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.
