how'd you get that information????About the car being on a boat?

To be honest Tom a message to me on My VW App on Wednesday stated my car was in transit and today another message stating in transit and 3 weeks for delivery to dealer. So because delivery time has changed to 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks I took it for granted that my car was at sea, but no actual proof of this, just my way of thinking. I could be wrong.

Ok... I actually noticed the same... But when I contacted them they said it was at Emden still... Maybe means it will be on a boat within a week though! :laugh:

My GTI is at Emden as well waiting for a boat. My tracker also changed to the three week stage so guess arrival at the port is what triggers the change. Picked up an Indium Golf GT as a courtesy car today until my own car arrives so it's all pretty sweet.

Think retailer/vw can tell you but has to be assigned first...  Just have to keep bugging them until they have the answer

Been reading this thread and thought I'd finally create an account and post!

Ordered a Pure White GTD 3dr on October 3rd, build week confirmed next week - 6th Nov  :smiley:

I am not a patient person so waiting for this is killing me  :laugh: Hoping I'll get it before the end of November though (probably too optimisitc but oh well, makes me happy!)

Could have been a cancelled order that was taken by the dealer.

4 to 5 weeks from ordering to build week doesn't seem much different to what I was quoted recently on a factory order GTD.

By the time it arrives at the dealers it will probably end up being 9 or 10 weeks in total.

I'd not trust random dates from a dealer. Nobody can tell you how long it will be before the build week until it's confirmed by the factory. They'll tell you anything to get you to sign.

Must be coincidence then. I was quoted 10 weeks for delivery. We all know it's 4 to 5 weeks from build to delivery as it says so on the VW tracker.

Maurizie's confirmed build week is almost exactly 5 weeks after placement of order.
