It got built a week earlier than the tracker said, and was with the dealer less than 3 weeks after leaving the factory On the tracker mine is still showing confirmed build week commencing 25/02. Email from dealer today said car was built and on its way to the port, expected at dealers in about 2 we...

Unfortunately I’m not allowed to drive it until next Friday when the new registration kicks in, but I can sit in it and play. Happy boy

How long did it take between confirmed build week and you getting it?

Who do I believe? Online tracker says build week 9 confirmed, Dealer says week 8 confirmed.

If it is anything like my current Volvo, the the lower ( fog lights ) will not come on at the same time as the main headlights. Side and fogs OK, Main and fogs not OK.

Happy days

I wish mine was.

I'm just hoping that the car gets to me before 28th March as I am going on holiday to Devon then. If it is on, or near that date, it could cause problems with the fitting of my scooter hoist and transfer of my private plate. Car is 1,5 DSG GT estate, deep black pearl. :-s :-s :-s

I've just got a confirmed build week of week beginning 25 th Feb. There was also a codicil that due to the new emission rules, some cars may be delayed.
If that is the case, why confirm my build date?

I completely agree. It must be kept clean. Trouble is there is not much choice with Passat colours and I liked the black more than the others.

Pearl black for me, with heated w/screen, steering wheel and electric boot. I don't think these would make any difference to production times.

Latest unconfirmed update has now gone from week 7 to week 8. I'm beginning to wonder if my car will ever see the light of day.

Latst update from dealer is still an unconfirmed build week 07. Still nothing on the tracker.

Latest update from dealer today. Still unconfirmed build week 7 with delivery to me around week 13!!!! Still showing "With the factory" online.

Same here. Still with the factory. Dealer has given an "unconfirmed " build as week 7. Fingers crossed for the latest spec.

My build week has now ( unofficially) been brought forward to week 7 from week 8. Still "with the factory" on the online checker.

I noticed that the new car is fitted with self sealing tyres. Are these run flats or do they actually self seal small punctures?
I have not heard of these before.

I KNEW IT!!! Just had a call from the salesman, build week is now WEEK 08. Add another month for delivery etc. and I will now be getting my cay sometime mid March2019. He also said that another customer who ordered a Tiguan last April will have to wait 15 months from time of order for his car. What ...

Same here. Still "With the factory".

By video link with my dealer, confirmed build week of week 50, but I wouldn't mind betting that gets changed before too long.

Just had an unofficial build week date from my dealer - week 48.
It seems that VW have got their backsides into gear and delivery times are getting back to a more normal time scale.

Apparently I will not get a build week until about 8 - 10 weeks after the order acceptance date. My order was accepted 0n 28/08 and delivery estimate was 15 - 16 weeks, making delivery due around 11th - 18th December. I wopuldn't mind betting it will be nearer the mid to end of January date. MIne is...

Mine has also been upgraded? to the 1.5 engine. Alas, still no build week.

Mine has been on the second stage ( with the factory ) for two weeks now. As per, wish they would give a build date. Still don't know if it will be 1.4 or 1.5.

Ordered mine 2 - 3 weeks ago and was given a Dec/Jan estimate for delivery. 22 weeks sounds about right.

Order is now with the factory. No build week yet!!

I have it on my Volvo XC60 and have ordered it on my new Passat estate - due in about 20 weeks time. I would not be without it.
