Title: New 7.5 in transit, any way of tracking the boat or est. delivery?
Post by: Bigbeemer on 02 July 2017, 11:03

Been given the notice that car has left the factory on Friday and VW say it can take up to 5 weeks to deliver to dealership, anybody know how to track it further than just the unreliable VW tracker?

Speak to VW via their online chat facility on their website and they should be able to tell you where the car is or even which boat it is on.

I tracked my Octavia VRS from Emden to Grimsby using the Website marinetraffic.com.  You can filter by port of departure and watch the boats in real time.  A few years ago the VW group car ships where all called "_____ Highway" so keep an eye for ships with those names

Mine was build wk23 and arrived at the fleet dealer about a week ago so 3 weeks max. Still not got it yet as issue with paperwork for lease documents but hoping any day...
