This is my first post and I'm not technically a Polo owner yet, but I've been lurking around here for a while and was wondering if any of you are in the same situation.
I ordered a 6C (3 door, 2014 SEL 1.2 TSI DSG, in deep black) with a couple of options added (17" alloys, carpet mats, electric mirrors) back at the beginning of September and was given a projected delivery of the beginning of December (from the paperwork). Watching the VW order tracker, it went to "With the Factory" a short while after ordering, and I also received a postcard from the dealer stating the same thing.
At the end of September, I contacted my dealer wanting to swap the carpet mats for the light & sight pack, being told I had a projected build week of week 45, but changing an option might delay things. I went ahead with it and then casually tracked the online tracker, which was still saying "With the factory".
Getting quite excited that it was nearing the projected build week, I got a bit of a depressing postcard just over a week ago stating I was at "Order Placed", although the online tracker still said "With the Factory". As I'm now getting quite excited (and admittedly impatient as it's my first new car), I contacted my dealer again and he informed me that my status was "Without Production Week" (he sent a print screen of their system of all the details he had) and that VW may be moving around production dates. Out of interest I gave VW a call to see if they could confirm anything further, and was told that I was indeed without a build week and that a lot of production was going towards the Golf R, but that calling back in a week (as in 27/10/2014) may be more fruitful.
My main question here is if anyone else is in the same situation, or whether they have heard anything similar? Also, could have changing that one option caused all of this? I'm not overly concerned of a slight delay but I am going away before Christmas and was hoping to have the car by then (as my dealer is quite far away).
Apologies for the short story but thanks in advance for any replies
