There will be a common link in an option from a suppliers. I notice Panos on both and it the past there have been supply & demand issues delaying build due to Pano Roofs. Or it may be the engine.

Wait, that is week 26? I have been told that the next build week will be 28.. From the factory in Portugal.
Week 26 is what the man said :) The guy did say that he had known dates to shift due to parts availability, but as its now been confirmed I should be ok.

Once the order has production confirmed, that means they have all the parts to build. They won't put the order to that status unless they can. On the home run now. Engine & gearbox are already built. They will start build sometime this week for Wk26.

for where it is in the factory ask your dealer, but obviously only during your build week & it will go through quite quick so their system may not update quick enough, the other option during that time is to have your commission number (your order number with VW UK, you need to get this from your dealer) and ring VW customer services.
in terms of boat updates, thats RW1's area so when you know what build week it is the schedules will be added in the boat topic & mention what build weeks are likely on that boat & when it is due to dock in the UK (or Emden) then its up to your dealer to request it or push it from the port.
