Build Date Confirmed!!

[star93]

My order was placed on the 21st of July and my BW has just been confirmed as the 7/9.

Pretty impressed with the turn around time!

My weekly asking on twitter has given me a positive result this week, I'm now confirmed for build week 39. There's no update on the tracker but they have said this should change at some point next week.

My build weeks have gone 42, 45, 39, 46 and now 39. I would love to know the reasoning about the variance but I'm happy that it's ahead of schedule, fingers crossed it should be about 3 months from order to delivery 

I just had my stage 3 confirmed this morning via text (WC 21/09) however my email stated it was a week later (28/09), the tracker has the week of the 21/09 as well which agrees with what my dealer told me yesterday (build week 39).

I'm hoping this means I will have the car before the 09/10/15 as I'm going away over that weekend and would want to take the new car with me, can you track the departure times from the port of Emden that far in advance to see if my build week will coincide with a shipping time from Emden to Sheerness?

Mine just coming up as 21 September and I am hoping it arrives before mid October when my A6 goes back to lease company..gulp ! Out of interest I had a letter from Audi pointing out 30% of the cars returned to them did not have the correct tyres fitted ie  winter tyres not accepted, wrong speed rating , not premium make and so on ! I have Goodyears which are fine seemingly.Knew about the winter tyres as I had to fit four brand new summer  once to a previous Merc that went back mid winter a couple of years ago.

I've had my stage 3 confirmed today, it says week 40 which is a week later than vw told me yesterday but either is fine by me.

From what I've determined that's just the week that it's due to start to be built. It could be first thing Sunday morning or late Saturday night it all starts. Once it rolls off the line it will take about 4 weeks to reach the dealer, then they pdi it.

24 hours to go, and I will be picking up my new GTI tomorrow at 10am.  It feels like a lifetime since I placed my order on 24th April.

I can't wait!

How many others are excited for collection day tomorrow?

Sorry mate but it will be about 4 weeks from build to delivery. We are the same week and I'm not expecting to get the car much before the end of october.

Have you had anything from your dealer saying build is confirmed? I've not heard anything since I placed the order back in july.

Got my gtd about 10 days after it was built so this 4 weeks is nonsense. If it's built and sent to Emden it could be on a boat within 2 to 3 days, one day over on the ship and then a few days dockside. Depends how quick your dealer is at receiving new cars too.

Hi all! New to the forum and thought I'd say hi. So, Hi! Just got my build date confirmed w/c 28/9. My first Golf GTi. 'Citin!

10 days would be awesome! Fingers crossed for that

There have been people, like you, who have received their cars less than 4 weeks after build, similarly there are cases where cars have taken much longer than that, but it's fair to say the average is about 4 weeks, and as you say, it can depend on how quick the dealer turns it rounds.  So it's hardly nonsense is it.
