I ordered GTI pp on 9th May, tracker currently shows 'nearly there', though it's been like that for a few weeks.

Just realised that having had a confirmation email from VW (16.05.17) confirming that I had signed up for tracker alerts, I never received any! Is that usual?

The tracker is nice when it works, but it doesn't always and sometimes jumps steps quite dramatically.

If you are really sweating, talk to VW UK online for an update on your order... otherwise just relax and listen to some whale music or something.

Mick, Ferwie, MrE.....when did you place the order originally?

Honestly...........

We ordered it on the 24th July (2 weeks ago) through Blue Chilli cars in Manchester. A cancelled order at Crewe VW so we should see it in around another 4 weeks, so that's 6 weeks from saying yes to taking delivery !  :grin:

Just got my build date confirmation come through on the app for the 21/08/2017.  :grin:

On average how many weeks from build start date to delivery am I looking at?

Just off live chat checking the progress:

GTI 230 PS  DSG   3 door.   Pearl Black / heated screen / Dynaudio / reverse camera

Order placed 19/07
Build week beginning 09/10

Then:
Completion of the build = 14 days
Factory to port of exit = 7 days
Waiting for space on ship = 14 days
Port of exit to UK = 2 to 3 days
Unloading the ship = 2 days
Time at the UK port = 7 to 10 days
UK port to Retailer = 2 to 4 days

So early / mid-December collection = 25 / 26 weeks.

I'm assuming this is all "computer says" nonsense though.   Hopefully   :smiley:
On order: 7.5 230 PS, 3 door, DSG.  Pearl black with heated screen, Dynaudio & reverse camera.

I think it's all a bit pot luck tbh.

My confirmed build week was 31/07.

The iPhone app updated on Friday 07/07 to say it had left the factory (early). It arrived in the UK Friday 14/07 and at the dealers on Tues 18/07. So went through both ports and shipping in just over a week.
