Build Date Confirmed!!

[TwoSheds]

Thats rubbish news, Bungleaio, will be gutted if mine has dropped back as well.  Tempted to tweet vw but might leave it until next week, ignorance is bliss and all that.  Can you confirm what spec you have ordered?

It changes quite a bit, I've gone 42, 45, 38 and now 46. I think the 38 was just giving me false hope, I only ordered a month ago.

At the end of the day being in the queue to have a brand new car built to my specification isn't a bad place to be but it is crazy how long it takes. A hand built rare sports car then maybe but what is essentially a family hatchback largely built by robots it does seem a long time.

I asked my dealer to make sure my order is correct and he just said it was all ordered as per my online spec that I built on the configurator, I've not seen anything hardcopy from the actual ordering system though. I'm not sure if VW could help via twitter due to the short message length?

Ask your dealer to send you a screen shot of the order page from the system.

It will confirm the spec, colour and options you've requested if you want a 'hard copy'

That's what i got a while after i'd placed my order.It showed an 'original BW 39 then beside it a current BW 35.So he said it had been brought forward quite a bit.
Then i got another e mail saying the current(unconfirmed) BW was 38.
So when i queried it they said as soon as they had a confirmed date they would let me know.
Anyway reading all of the negative stuff on here about lack of confidence in BW Bull.I took to talking directly to VW UK on Twitter today.I was getting ready to pull the order as i don't like people fannying me around.I didn't get where i am today by fannying around i tell you.
They gave me a confirmed BW38.I asked why the Tracker hadn't updated and they said it takes a while to catch up with real-time.They were very quick to reply to me.About 5-10 mins.
So if anyone wants it straight from the horses mouth Twitter is the way to go.

That's still better than my order, I ordered middle of June and it's still with the factory, no confirmed BW yet

I read a VW dealers post on the TDI sub forum.He reckoned on an average 18 week for the GTD.
I know the GTD sells a a whole lot more than the GTI,especially with fleet orders etc.
I think if i hadn't got something concrete today i was going to cancel it.I just hope that VW UK mean what they say.Especially now i've got it in writing.
You should e mail them tomorrow.Or Tweet or whatever.They were certainly ahead of my dealers info.I reckon the dealers just check the( out of date) Tracker available to the rest of us.

I feel your frustration.It's the not knowing anything after so long that pisses me off.I have nightmares of having to buy Winters for my M Lite then the GTD showing up a month later.
