VW Tracker Accuracy?

[Brenbo]

I doubt I will have it that quick.  Failing that, i can always meet up at some point and let you have a root around my car.  But it will be in broad daylight, and there will be no dodgy car parks or flashing of headlights to get other peoples attention, I don't want to give the wrong impression.

R's are all about being discreet! 

Is that why the R Estate was released to provide more room in the boot for those who want to be discreet but need room to move...

Contacted my VW Dealer yesterday.  They inform me my Golf R has the status of "Release to Port" on the their Tracker.  This means it will not be too long now and my car will be here.  What a wait it has been..  which has only been around 5months+ which in the scheme of things is not as long as some others on this forum have had to wait. 

Will keep you posted and when i get a chance in a couple weeks hopefully, I will get pics of the car.

Awesome, out of interest what was you build week?

Mine still on step 3 awaiting to be built but dealer assured me its on the way to the UK & he should have it next week or the week after.

My predicted build week was 01/08/16 which was the build week confirmed shown on the tracker until it went wrong and the date disappeared several weeks ago.  I have seen the build week confirmed screen on the tracker for a long time (even after I had info from my dealer saying the car was built?) and then after my live chat on VW due to the inaccurate info, the tracker changed and stayed on build in progress for the remaining weeks to date.   

Cannot wait for the car to be in the UK and then delivered.  Apparently it could be another week and then I should hear form my Dealer to arrange the pre-hand over meeting for paper work.  Then after that it all gets real and the wait will be even more frustrating until hand over.

I think VW tracker is sh!te. When I got my current GTI more than 2 years ago it was accurate but now with the new GTI I have on order it's been awful. Mine was showing bw confirmed for 29th Aug and now it changed to build in progress last night even though it was supposed to be built already. Dealer told me handover would be last week of september-first week of october.

I understand your frustration about the tracker being awful at present. When I bought my current GTI 3 years ago it was accurate .  But now the tracker is awful.  Come on VW sort it out.  Even my VW dealer said their tracker has a mind of it's own, sometimes it worked and other times it did not.

GeoBog my date shown on tracker was build w/c 29th august but dealer told me few weeks ago car was already in build.
They have said car is on its way to the UK now & hope to have me in it 1st/2nd week of september.

I have a similar spec to you on order, GTi in pure white, Manual, 3 door, 90% tint, camera, dyna audio, carnet

What's your tracking showing now? Mine is at step 4 now. Hope mine gets here by end of sept, I need to sort out plate retention & all before that. My tracker even shows me the wrong paint, I ordered plain black and tracker shows pearlescent black.

Its weird on my Volkswagen account it still says step 3 build week confired as 29/8 but if i put the order number in the tracker box its says step 4 "Your car is currently being built. On average it takes 4 weeks from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer"

But as said dealer has reassured me car is built and on its way.

Last email he sent on Wedneaday said
Hi Kelvyn,
 
Not arrived yet.
 
I am checking every couple of days and will be in touch as soon as the car hits UK port as I can then allocate a registration number.

My Tracker is showing stage 4 build in progress still.  The car is at the port and on it's way to UK this week?
