Received email today confirming my CS is now locked in for build week 33 - commencing 15th Aug
Was the update from Arval or Inchcape?. I spoke to Inchcape and they were surprised that anyone had got a build week from the batch. Hope there is good news for everyone to come.
Inchape themselves.

"The good news is your vehicle is now confirmed for build or as we say status 20 for build week 33 which is the week commencing 15th August 2022. I would allow 6-8 weeks from this build week. Please see Below"

Well in theory, my GTI CS should be entering production now. Fingers crossed.

All gone very quiet on here - I imagine you guys are having as much luck as me trying to get a build date. I'm not even getting responses to my emails now.

Yup same boat as you. It’s an absolute nightmare, when you consider these cars have been on order for 18 months!!!!!!!

Always had regular updates then radio silence. Turns out my contact Adam Bennett had left the Cheltenham dealership. I had an email bounce back.

I've been told after calling that my car has just left the factory and to expect 4 weeks until delivery.

That explains why Adam has been ignoring me 😂. You got another contact there?

No worries Simon, you are one of the lucky ones as we have an awful lot of these cars still awaiting build dates.

I spoke to Nicky, mine has a preliminary build date of week 17 2023. At this rate I'll be too old to drive by the time it gets here.

LOL is all I have to say. So that will be more than 2 years since the cars were ordered! For a GOLF

It has crossed my mind that the dates are being deliberately put back hoping I'll cancel... Considering what the deal was. Would be a bit devious but you never know.

Interesting 2 pages read about comments from dealers on performance Golf's.....

https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=287...

No idea how mine has got through and for my Touareg order also to go through and be released from the factory at almost the same time is a bit bonkers. Last few weeks in the 840 though now!

Just checked in on my car progression from the factory - it still hasn't moved to the port after 2 weeks of being built. Hopefully here before early Nov as the 8 series goes back then.

Anyone else any news?
