My GTI was build on Monday this week according to VW live chat, then arrived at Emden on Wednesday and has been released for shipping, now just the long wait for it to be assigned to a boat :whistle:

Does anyone know which port cars that are going to Scotland come into? I’m thinking it’ll probably be Tyne as it’s further north.

Thanks Mcmaddy! I’ve become a total saddo looking at the shipping schedules, spoke VWCS today my car is still waiting to be allocated to a boat. From the schedules I’ve looked at nothing due in to port of Tyne until at least the 20th of December  :sad:


Anyone got experience of how long it might be until my car is allocated to a boat going to port of Tyne?

Moved to ‘10 days’ this morning, and confirmed with VWCS as being aboard City of Rottterdam. Went to see my dealer last night, he wants to get the car handed over by the end of the month to meet his targets, so will chase transport,  I think it might be right given the Christmas bank holidays, but you never know.

Any experience of how long it might be to get transport after it clears Customs?

I was with my salesman yesterday to see if I could get mine earlier as I was originally planning for a March delivery. Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago and has been sitting at Grimsby ever since. He said that yesterday was the last day they could call a car from the UK port of entry to arrive before the end of December. Hopefully your dealer is aware of this if they wanted to complete the deal before the end of the month  :wink:

According to Live Chat, mine has now arrived at VW UK, MK.

Not sure if they can PDI it ready for collection before Christmas though :(

So most likely first week of January now.
