Yes. Once BW has been confirmed VW have the all bits in place to assemble your car. VW generally give their suppliers a rolling 4 weeks fixed demand and further 8 weeks forecast. In order to fix the suppliers requirements they need to finalise the production plan.

Currently build gone back 11 weeks. Feeling VERY unhappy. Looks like another 5 month wait for me

Forgive me if this has already been answered, this is my first post.
I ordered my Mk7.5 Golf on 26/4/17, the last info I got was 2 days ago that it was at stage 5 of 8 of the build process (build week was week commencing 5/6/17).
From experience, how long can I expect to wait? I live in Newcastle, UK if that makes any difference.
Also, the tracker doesn't work for me anymore. Has anyone else had any issues?
Thanks in advance.

Morning Newcastlem, welcome aboard.
Assuming your car is built this week, on average it takes a further 4 weeks to reach the UK dealer so mid July is looking good for you assuming there are no delays.
Essentially the route is train to the port of Emden, car carrier vessel to Grimsby or Shearness then transporter to the dealer. Cars can get held at Emden waiting for a boat.
What did you order?

Thanks for that.
I was told yesterday it was at stage 8 of 8 of the build (quality control) and was expected to leave the factory 'imminently'. Also told by the dealer I should expect to take delivery towards the end of June!
I ordered a Golf SE, can't wait as it will be a huge upgrade from my Polo!

I feel your pain 2 months in and I'm still stage 2, I think I can still make changes at this point so I've asked the dealer to quote me on upgrading to the performance gti.

The Mrs has a 15 plate Polo, really feels like a baby golf in many ways.
Not wanting to put on a downer on things but end of June delivery is a bit optimistic in my view, hopefully the dealer is right but. ...
My GTD sat in QC for nearly 2 weeks. In the end, build and delivery to the dealer appears a bit of a lottery and the only certain bit is the day you see your golf in the flesh. Its still a great experience when they peel back the blue cover though and all the waiting is over

You may as well get the exact car you want while you have the opportunity to tinker with the spec.
Stage 2, is that waiting for build week? Its over 3 years since I watched the VW tracker.
The Audi tracker is different it shows each stage of production : prep, panel shop, paint, assembly, qc then shipping. Im at stage 2, which tells me build is not scheduled to start until the 14th of August and thats not confirmed so it could go back further yet.
I think im in a queue waiting for the new 1.5tsi, theres likely to be big demand as its just been released in the Golf and A3
Ive got a week touring Scotland in September, would have been a great opportunity to try out the virtual cockpit that integrates the sat nav with the speedo dials. Based on the current build date its looking unlikely.
