How to track the car you have ordered?

Means you will get it in about 3-4 months!!!

Thanks INOV8, the dealership also told me that it would be a week 14 build (when ever that is). All this after them telling me that the car was due to land on August 28 and delivery mid September... so you reckon 3-4 months or the mid-September delivery?

Could be wrong but week 14 build seems like your car will be built next week as that is the 14th week of the year??

Lets hope so, the dealership told me that it has been handed over to production - what ever that is... and if it is next week, shouldn't I have a VIN number by now?

Wouldn't you get the vin after its built, not during?

I might be wrong but isn't the VIN number used to identify the car and the specs required for it? So that the required parts off the production line are assigned to a particular car?

Not the specs, just that it is a Golf - does not even differentiate between models as far as I am aware.

hcvo1 - that's right. The VIN will be allocated to the car prior to production, generally at the start of the production week. As you've said, it allows then to identify the car and what specs / parts they need to assign to it..

Thanks mate,

I knew my logistics mates at work would come in handy! LOL

Having said that the dealership has told me a week 14 build hence I should have the VIN by the end of next week?

A VIN would be allocated to your car probably next week. You just need to see if your dealer can seethat VIN. With me, my car was built around week 8 (mid feb) but I wasn't told of th VIN until the end of feb. So there might be a bit of a delay in its communication. But you will def have it in approx 2-3 wks.

Ok going by that logic then week 10 would be end of Feb, Week 14 should be the end of March?
