Whats the difference between production week and build week (if any)?

[djchuckles]

So I ordered my car back in March and last month it moved from Dealer Spec to Order status

And now the dealer tells me 'Unfortunately no information on the Vin Number and build week provided as at this stage. However the production week shown below is week 27.'

What's the diff between build week and production week?

The screenshot she sent me shows :

Planned production week 27.2012

Production ID Week 27 Day 1 Number 5176 Year 2012

Entry Dealer System 15/03/12 Entry FAVAS System 11/05/012

Can I gleam any further info from this?

Thanks
A

So from that information I would have thought that the car is scheduled to be built on Monday July 2nd. I guess whether that turns out to be the case might be another thing.

In my case I couldn't get a confirmation from the sales guy but I could get the NADCON info from the stock controller.

Looks like your car will be here in September.

Also take a look on sciroccocentral RW who is one of the mods is brilliant at posting the shipping info. That link will take you to build date and shipping date threads on that site.

Production week is only a 'desired' production week.

Doesn't mean it will actually be produced that week. Zee Germans are usually pretty punctual but Roccs are built in Portugal.

So I now have a VIN number So guess we're getting close!

Does that mean build has commenced?

Is there anything else I can find out with the VIN?

"13ZDV004656" finished build at the end of yesterday (5th).

[djchuckles]

Ok - mine's 13ZDV004332.... Any ideas?

[Mac135]

Presumably it has been built a couple of days ago. RW1 should be able to tell you.

Have you tried searching using the VIN on the shippers website as per the tracking link above?

[djchuckles]

Yeah I tried but no track - guess it hasn't made the ship yet

[Mac135]

I don't know how often they are shipped to germany i guess when there is a full load comprising of roc, eos and sharan. Don't even know how RocS are made each year. VW celebrated building no 100,000 back in august 2010 ( 2 and a half years after launch) but obviosly haven't got to 200,000 yet.

At least it is real now......
