Anyone else got a GTD due for delivery in June / July?

Will they confirm it if makes the ship?

I will ty them tomorrow morning - they'll have had a whole 24 hours if it did get on. VW tracking/planning is useless. Surely they have a plan for what ship it will get on, hope the y don't randomly pick it for a ship that comes in.

I'd lower your expectations a little if I were you, cars often sit in Emden for a week or two and then another week on this side, even if the dealer is just down the road.

You've been speaking to Mick today! Yes, the car is confirmed aboard the "City of Rome" and will arrive at port of Tyne tomorrow afternoon. The dealer is also making special arrangement to have the car picked up from the docks to hurry things along. My dad has been told to expect Tuesday. If it is Tuesday rather than Monday then i'll not even get a go in it.

My dad is up from Southampton (he lives down there now) for his brothers 50th party this weekend (should be an epic piss-up) and had been planning on goiing back no later than Tues. If he doen't get it Monday then he'll literally pick it up and drive straight down home to Southampton with it, and i'll have to wait for Facebook pics.  I will try to head down to the dealership for a look on Monday if it's still getting PDI/registration and take a few pics.

spoke to Mick yesterday just to nosey on your dad's car. he's going to give me a ring when it comes in so I can see one in the flesh. maybe see you down at Pulman?

Be interesting to see how quick the tracker changes.....and if you can get the dealer to confirm if the sound actuator is fitted....  (along with some pics, don't think we've seen any of the UK spec as yet) 

[monkeyhanger]

I think i'll be taking a look at it sometime on Sunday (if they transport it this evening or Saturday) - hopefully they'll have all the shipping protection materials off it by then for a few decent pictures.

Tracker won't be changing until at least 4pm (ETA for the ship it's coming in on).

Just had an update from the dealer.

He doesn't think he can get the car to the dealership until Tuesday morning. The ship is due in at 4pm, and the salesman is trying to talk to the right people at dockside (customs and clearance) to get it cleared quickly. VW then make it wait at the clearance side for around 24 hours before they'll allow it to leave the dock (presumably updating their systems to confirm arrival and make sure all the release sign offs from the port authority are complete).

These things pretty much don't happen over a weekend when all the admin support for VW UK are off, so they'll have to happen Monday and the car has been booked by the dealership's preferred car transport company as first pick-up on Tuesday morning.

My dad is sorting the paperwork out over the weekend to smooth out the collection.

My dad is supposed to be back in work down Southampton on Weds, so I suspect he'll shoot straight off down to the dealers once PDI is finished and drive directly to Southampton. I'll not get a chance to see it in the flesh if it happens that way. Hoping it's a late pick-up on Tues and he decides not to drive down until Weds morning.

Err...........chaps, my car has just gone to build week confirmed on the VW tracking website, but it doesn't actually tell me what the week number is ? Should it be there somewhere or do I need to contact the dealer ?

I assume this doesn't mean it's imminently about to be built and could still be many weeks off ?


Edit...just called the dealer - Build Week 33 Confirmed (suppose it's better than it was).

Should be built 4 weeks from now, however with the factory shutdown it might be build week 33. We are currently in bw26. The website doesn't give you the BW date
