I think this is BW2 and my dealer tells me, today, that my car is scheduled to be built this week. Funny, I have only thought of other people's cars actually being constructed. its wierd to think that mine might actually be going together now!

Anybody else's being done this week?

 

As a tiny down side, I doubt whether I'll be able to swing this for a March 1st registration, as its on the pcp deal.

Me!

 

In my mind the spray paint robots are swishing Corrida Red all over the MQB substructure as we speak in a graceful mechanical ballet................

 

....no pendants who know how modern cars are actually made are allowed to chip in and shatter this notion!

Yes!!! Dealer said ill have it before the end of the month. A little exited at the mo!

Me also, was put back from week 47, so can see light at the end of the Vrs tunnel.

Sadly not build week 2 for me.....but the good news is its build week 4! Hopefully I'll be able to swing it for a March 1st delivery, fingers crossed.

Mine should be built this week as well and should be available to pick up late January.

Ordered September 4th so it will be nearly 5 months but the excitement is picking up again!

I had a nice call from the dealer yesterday informing me that my build week had changed from week 10 to this week, ordered on November 11th

Spoke to dealer Tuesday.  Ordered on the 14th November & he said it is build week 2.  1.4TSI DSG SE estate with keyless entry & armrest. 

So, all being well, our cars are assembled now and, i assume, ready to go on the train ride to Emden to await the ship to UK.

Can anybody remember how long it takes for arrival at port after leaving the factory?

I called yesterday and the system had not updated apparently so the dealer could not confirm if my car was built or not.

I shall call mine on Monday I think.

Apparently SUK emails the dealer and gives them a list of cars wich will be delivered in that month (January), mine is on that list and was also mentioned that some BW3 will be delivered in jan aswell...... I remain possative!! Lol :-)

Interesting statement, as my dealer has the end of Jan down for delivery, although in early December they revised that to sometime March but now it's confirmed WK03 build :wonder:

Got a call today. Mine should be at the dealers on Monday and ready for pickup sometime next week 

Wow, that is quick, just over a week from being built to delivery at the dealership! Excitement building then!!

Mines built.... A good start! Awaiting transit to uk.

When we spoke to SUK they informed us that due to weather there was a backlog on shipping etc.. and this was delaying transit. Had anyone else heard similar? From a similarly excited BW3 chap!

Dealer says mine is built, but needs to confirm the transit situation, so there may be a bit of a backlog with the sea crossing segment.

I was told to call back on Friday and they will have a better idea of what's going on. Some of the build wk 50 people still don't have there cars yet. I will be happy if I get my car in January.

Built! In transit to docks on the continent........

Happy days mate, hopefully mines on its way too. :-)

There's 3 ships at emden at the moment and 1 waiting to loaded.... Fingers crossed we get lucky!

Well, dealer told me yesterday that mine was at Emden and I noticed thatthe Schelde Highway sailed for Grimsby last night, so I wonder if any of our cars are on that?

Schelde Highway due to dock later this afternoon

 

African Highway is currently at Emden but moored at the VW berth.

 

Few other Highways heading to Emden from various locations like Malmo and there's one going from Grimsby to Malmo.
