Hi Randolph, I am so far down the track with a really unusual combination of specs, I wouldn't dare lose my place in the queue. It's a bit like joining queues at the Payage on French motorways, there are loads of queues, you select one, the others all move, you swap then the one you move to has a car and caravan overheat and break down in front of you. I have actually turned my case into a written complaint on the basis that I have had so many provisional build weeks and not a word of communication from anyone unless chased by myself. I am informed that VW do have people that monitor social media and probably this site. It would be nice if they took heed of the feedback their customers are providing.
When I first ordered in Sept last year, I soon got an e mail telling me that my order had been placed and that I would get updates on its progress. I think that was the only update I have had. How difficult would it be for a multi billion euro company to provide customers information. The factories are robot / computer controlled run like clockwork yet they can't write a bit of code that sends the customer an update when the order is amended in the production schedule! Amazon tells me what the person picking my order from the shelves had for bloody breakfast almost! Could be something for a few quid not best part of 47 grand!
