That's all very well but my dealer had the build week information within seven days of my order being placed, so unfortunately it's clearly a case of the system not being updated timeously by Volkswagen.
Here's hoping when they stop fiddling with the website (I fail to see why it takes so long), that they also bring the order information on it up to date.

Cheers SkinneeD - I just tried the alternate tracking link and I'm almost dumbfounded to see that my GT 150 TDi manual has finally moved to status "In transit".
Only been waiting since 1st week of April Minor miracle!
It was only last Tuesday the dealer said it might make it by mid-September (I'm telling you, these guys know jack-sh*t). What are the odds of making it to the UK in 3 weeks time?
He would've had the estimated build week not a confirmed one, you'll only get a confirmed BW approx 4 weeks before it gets built. If your looking at the end of october collection then assuming 2 weeks for shipping then you'll be looking at approx BW 41/42 which means you would go confirmed approx BW 37 (sept 9th), until then it'll only show processing on the tracker.
Thanks - looking forward to a call from the dealer soon hopefully - online still showing "processing..."I was given confirmed build week 30 by my dealer on the same day the on-line tracker status changed from "Processing" to "Build week confirmed". I made note of the date he'd called - it was June 20th.
Prior to this confirmation, he'd originally quoted the standard 12 - 14 weeks from order date, then b.w. 34 on a hunch and eventually b.w. 30. So I've endured all sorts of approximations.
B.w. 30 corresponds to July 22 - 26. So his call and the tracker status were pretty much 1 month before the actual build week, which got stretched out due to the scheduled Wolfsburg factory shutdown/slowdown during the summer break. I've read that build weeks 30, 31 & 32 are essentially all one allocated slot because of the summer break, so I guess it figures.
