Am I right in thinking that's an email update. Which could be set up when the online tracker was working. They kept the email updates if you signed up for them but dropped the SMS alerts.

Ah right that could be it. I signed up for all that just before the tracker was taken offline. No emails or SMS’s though 😟

Yeah it's an email update.

No idea whether it means it's leaving the factory or leaving Germany/port.

Assume it could still mean 2022 as I have no idea otherwise on when it'll be at the dealers

How do I go about getting my order number?
The slip we got with order number on doesn't match to any of your order numbers you guys have?

Just ask your dealer. A VW order number is always 8 digits long (numbers only) and in the UK always begins with a 3.

It's not an order number as such; it's a factory commission number. It's provided when the order is accepted, not made.

I wouldn't bother ringing them, as it'll likely be next year before it is assigned, and it is meaningless to you until the tracker is back up (which isn't in the foreseeable anyway).


Best thing to do, if you are making a new order and not taking over a cancelled one, is to forget about if for now - you'll drive yourself insane otherwise, as you're looking at a significant wait

Not so sure about this as when I ordered mine I sat and watch my dealer input my order into the system and as soon as he hit the final enter input it immediately showed the order with an order number which was printed off as my copy.

That will have been back when they were accepting orders 'as per normal'.

I'm assuming you did do PCP etc. either, as quite often the order isn't confirmed until the usual checks are done with that either.

Current state of play that has been reported is that order can be 'made', but aren't currently getting 'accepted' until they can confirm provisions (due to the backlog etc)

Might it be simpler to describe this situation as @Col21 has ordered the car with the dealership, but the dealership has *not* yet been able to place that order with the factory ?

Practical upshot, if this is the case, is that @Col21 hasn't even joined the queue for building the ordered vehicle at the factory yet.

Having the factory order number at least means that you know you're in the factory queue, even if you can't track anything yourself with it.

I'm in the same position. I had to chase for an Order No which is 31497xxx ordered Oct 7th. Like @Col21 I've not got an estimated build date. The dealer said March and now says March/April maybe later maybe earlier! However cars ordered after mine are shown with Code 10 dates in June so that's what I'm assuming is nearer the mark. I've specifically asked the dealer for a Code 10 date and he's not replied yet.

Strange, your number is so much higher than mine and I ordered 4 weeks after you? Do these order numbers actually go on order?

That's almost certainly a cancelled/stock order. 313 orders are June/early-July from the data so far

Thats what I thought looking at the spread sheet created. Strange they haven't offered us a build date though if it was cancelled/stock order?

I've been suspecting for a while that some dealers are handing out any old 3xxxxxx number they make up on the spot, given there's no way for you as a customer to validate it any longer. @Cherry is in a similar spot, with a very low order number compared to time of order, yet a long lead time.

Or it might be that the dealer did place the order, then the original orderer cancelled and the dealer placed the order on hold until a new customer came along for that order, then released the hold so an estimated build week can be generated.

My understanding is that once you have a factory order number, it's at code 10, and code 10 always has an estimated build week. That then firms up over time into code 20, which is a confirmed build week. In other words, if you have an order number available to you then you should have an estimated build week, whatever it is. If your dealer isn't telling it to you, that's something you'll likely need to take up with the dealer.

Difficult times.

Some dealers order stock cars and allocate them to buyers. They often make changes to the original order for the buyer's spec.
May be this way their order numbers are lower.
