Just Got My Build Week!

[kalimon]

Does anyone ever get a notification of every stage or do they always miss stage notifications out??

I only got my tracker number few weeks ago and it was at stage 4 when I first entered it.
Since then I have had every stage update but it tends to be a a day or so slow in updating.
It's more accurate to phone them to be honest - 0800 083 3914 - and tell them your number.
They know exactly where your car is.

Yeah I got a notification at every stage with this Golf (My wifes) but not with my own.
I'm still waiting for a stage 7 text "Its with the dealer" almost 2 years later

Saga continues....

Spoken with VW CS regarding my Golf which has been sat at Emden for over two weeks and the issue seems to the be with a backlog of vehicles and recent bad weather reducing the number of sailings.

Bugger!

That's not good to hear since my GTI just arrived at Emden, I'm assuming it's now at the back of that backlog!

To answer the earlier post, I'm at 5b now but never got a 4 - mine went straight from "processing" to "left the factory" with no build status in between.

Mine went from Build week confirmed to Shipping literally overnight!

Apparently there is a possible 1-2 week delay in shipping because of the backlog and sudden increase in production. Additional RO-RO's have been allocated but that might be just to clear the backlog.

Stuck at Emden is the most frustrating part of the entire process in my opinion
Hope the back log clears quickly for you mate, I know only too well how pissed off you must be.

It is very frustrating especially as I know there is nothing I can do to speed things along. At circa £100 a week for a hire car the profit I made by selling my old Golf privately instead of trading it in is quickly disappearing.

Hopefully it will leave this weekend and arrive in the UK Monday/Tuesday at dealership for 18th March.

well the wait is finally over  picked up my new tungsten silver GTI today 
car looks stunning in the sunshine with 90% tinted glass  . loved the contrast with the read stripe 
hand over was excellent they left me to inspect the car  for 30 mins
I must say dealer did a great job cleaning it  I did not have any glue residue  no swirl marks
no scratch marks from a dirty sponge ,  etc
I worked on Bentley paint work for 30+ yrs  so I know what to look for .

I got my stage 6 text this morning so will hopefully get in my car by month end. My texts and dates are as follows.

Stage 3 - 29th Jan
Stage 4 - didn't get one
Stage 5a - 27th Feb
Stage 5b - 28th Feb
Stage 5c - 10th Mar
Stage 6 - 11th Mar

Interestingly though my dealer always updates me at every stage about 2 days before I get the text!

My car also went from "build week confirmed" to "in transit". I've now been on 5b for a while, so stuck in this queue at Emden, presumably. Very frustrating and not a lot we can do but fret!
