Build Date Confirmed!!

[robtt]

I have just had a text this morning saying "in transit :shipping" . Presuming my car  is on a ship, am I right in thinking car might be at dealers sometime in the next week or so ?

I am at the same stage, 5b, it means it at Emden awaiting a ship.

Mine's still being built - for over a week now. I hope that means that they're just being extra special careful rather than somebody's dropped it off the side of a transporter

Hi all,

I just came across this forum and thread and wondered if anyone else was getting a runaround from VW at the mo? We ordered a GTI Carbon Grey, 3 door manual on 22nd July, and we still don't have a confirmed build week, but have an unconfirmed build week of 50. This is a pretty standard car, and looking at your posts some of you who ordered then almost have your cars now.

Anyone else in the same boat as us? I cannot get a straight answer from dealer or VWUK, but want the car so will have to wait.....

Any kindred spirits?

I ordered 13th July with all the options ticked and mine was built last week. I'm really surprised you haven't at least got a confirmed build by now. Maybe your dealer is out of allocation and is waiting for a slot?

I would tweet @vwukhelp for assistance. Good luck, the wait is frustrating but quite enjoyable too.

Did you get a stage 4 notification? Mine skipped that and went to 5a. Have you tried twitter? They will tell you the build stage you are at.

No, no notification other than the confirmed build week (twice - different weeks). The peeps on Twitter have been really good. Been nagging them nearly daily.

I ordered mine on 07/08, plenty of options (see sig), but my dealer did have one scheduled to be built, which I think is at least as important as what you spec.

I'm glad it's not just me asking them on twitter quite often, they say ask again in a week, not likely!

5c and on the Neckar Highway 😀

Bungleaio, has your dealer given you an idea of when it will be ready for collection?
