mowflow Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Spoke to VWCS today. I'm BW10 stuck at stage 3. When I called a week ago I was told it was in the last stage of the build and it should be heading to Emden over the weekend. Today I was told it's in the penultimate stage before the post build inspection, they don't know when it will be finished so can't give me any indication of when it will arrive in the UK. I emailed my dealer to let them know that I'm disappointed at the prospect of waiting another month to get it. I am going to take a look around at alternatives this weekend. Aside from exotic brands, I'm not sure the golf is worth this much of a wait. The woman on VWCS did say that there had been high demand for the R leading to delays building them. Is it a possibility that they ran out of parts, for example? Same, bored. Spoke to BMW about a 335i last week. The lead time is 5 weeks from order. I could probably order one now and it would be spec'd, ordered, built, delivered, registered, PDI'd and sitting on my drive in less time than it takes VW to move an R from one end of their factory to the other. In terms of crap companies they really are up their with BT and Npower. sdg1973 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickA Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I was speaking to VW Chester yesterday about the finance paperwork that I'd received and was asking about the status of mine. It's a BW10 car and I'm stuck at stage 5 on the tracker. Anyway, he told me that for one car he was checking it on the online tracker on Tuesday and it was showing as 'in transit' and then the next day it arrived in Chester on a transporter. Jees, if only some of us had luck like that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowflow Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Roughly how long before receiving the car are people receiving the finance paperwork to sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyhanger Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 A little hiccup. My Detailer has not renewed his Indemnity Insurance so will not be able to do my car on the Dealer's premises. He's trying to sort this out by 4pm today, but I don't think it will come to pass. So the Dealer will valet the car instead. Ah well, better than nothing. They'll use new sponges etc. They'll use the soft side of a brillo pad and the 1/2 bucket wash technique. FBF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBF Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Im build wk 10 as well, dealer told me some time ago I wouldn't get my car till the end of April That has to be bull. How will it be another 8 weeks? Hes maybe just not wanting to raise your expectations of getting it early. Id maybe say first week of april latest Tom 2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigpen Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 BW9 and still sat at Emden Docks and there are even a few BW7's and BW8's. Bonkers! There can't be that much parking on the docks if each ship can take 10,000 cars. I'm sending Dr Who over to sort out the mystery as Scooby Doo is watching Super Vet.

There is no way each ship can take 10,000 cars. The Weser Highway which is a regular Emden/Grimsby ship only takes 750 units it says. Have a look on www.kess.kline.de they have a few of the regular Emden ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
