Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Dealer phoned today and asked what had I said to VW UK. Whatever it was, it did the trick. By some miracle, my build date has been confirmed at week 23. I think thats 6 June ,not Sept/Octoberas suggested last week. Can't wait
YAHOO !!!!!!

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

When I pestered VW UK they asked specificaly if I had ordered DAB or DSG as both were delaying production. I have only speced a standard Viper tdi GT. Nothing special. Miraculously they confirmed factory acceptance within 2 days. Had they lost the order on the system ? your guess is as good as mine....

Re: Yes, Vyvyan is finally here!!!

Your never too old for Viper Green. I have one on order and I'm a very young 52 year old and looking forward to my well planned mid-life crisis. Everyone should have one !!!

Re: Waiting on roc for ages.... getting annoyed with wait no

I've been back to the dealer and confirmed pick up for my son's roc next Thursday. He's over the moon. No news on mine yet. They suggest Ocy or November delivery but no build date. He is going to duplicate the order on 1st of May but switch to a 170TDi to see which comes first. This sounds a little ...

Re: Waiting on roc for ages.... getting annoyed with wait no

Funny you should say that re cancelled order. His was a straightforward factory order and was accepted by VW two weeks after ordering. Mine was a change to an existing order that the dealer had placed before Christmas and they assumed mine would come first. I wonder if the pre Xmas delays involve my...

Re: Waiting on roc for ages.... getting annoyed with wait no

There is no sense in the ordering to delivery ratio. Both my son and I ordered a Scirocco each, mid January from the same dealer, at the same time. His arrived in Sheerness last Friday and I haven't even got a build date yet. His is a white-170GT, mine a 140GT in Viper green. Is there an explanation...
