Can i ask what date did you order yours?

First week of August 2010 - added ACC a week or two later.

Anyone else singing Deep Purple's classic hit "Golf on the water"?

First week of August 2010 - added ACC a week or two later.

Can I ask which dealer you have ordered through ... I placed an order for a Golf R in June and am still waiting ... recently told my car won't arrive until some time in early 2011.

Kiles, have you got your NADCON ETA Data or even the VIN number yet?

[Kiles]

No .. the dealer has no information for me .. can't say when the car will go into production.

[Corey_R]

If the dealer can't give you any information, then they haven't ordred your car! As soon as the car is ordered, it starts populating ETA Data in NADCON. It won't immediately have all information, but if you ordered your car in June, it should be either close to production, in, or finished by now!

Give them a call and ask them to email you a screenshot (copy) of the NADCON ETA Data for your car.
Once you've received that, if the date is past the "Checkpoint 8 Handover to Sales" date, then you could also ask for the screenshot of the "Extended Information" table from the NADCON Order screen. That'll have your Chassis Number (VIN) and Engine Numbers.

Around 2 to 3 weeks after Check Point 8 has been reached, the car will appear on the shipping tracking site.

If the sales person cannot give you this information, then escalate to the dealer principle.

Thanks Corey ... I have just sent an e-mail to the dealer and sales manager requesting the information you have suggested. It has been almost 4 months since the order was placed ... and I would expect that they should be able to give more information than they have.
