Ship Tracking

Mine's changed to 'its on its next stage to the UK & takes 3 weeks to get to your retailer' - happy days, it's either on a boat or about to go on one! 

3 weeks means it has officially been received at Emden and is patiently waiting for its lift on a boat, as soon as it hits 10 days it is on a boat – hopefully less than a week’s wait for that to happen.

Good stuff MH - ill keep my eyes on 'Autorunner' that seems to visit Sheerness then Grimsby along its route from Emden (it's due into Grimsby today so I'm hoping once it returns to the Fatherland it'll get put on that!)

This is all great news guys. Looks like quite a few cars are going to be arriving within the next 4 weeks which means more happy owners and loads more reviews 

Looking forward to many more of you joining the owners club

Mine has changed from 3 weeks to 10 days now so looks like its on a boat. Any ideas which it could be?

MH is yours on a boat now too?

What is your supplying dealership Chris (city/town)?

“10 days” status does mean it is on a ship from Emden to either Sheerness, Grimsby or Tyne is about a day’s voyage. It’ll be here sometime today, the ship will probably spend the best part of a day unloading and then it’ll wait anywhere from 2 days to a week for VW to pick it up at the port and deliver it to your dealership (unless you are getting priority delivery, like I am – viable due to my dealer’s proximity to the port so they can collect it).

Mine is on city of Rotterdam and will be at the Tyne this afternoon.

Mine is Stoke so we're reasonably well placed for both tyne and grimsby. Not sure which boat its on or where its comming in to thoigh. Hopefully my dealer will grab it pretty sharpish

I'd say Grimsby is more likely, Tyne is generally for Teesside and up (including Scotland). Yours is possibly on the "Isar Highway", on it's way to Grimsby now, expected in this afternoon, or "Schelde Highway", at Emden and loading up now to get to Grimsby tomorrow

Yeah I thought Grimsby would be the more logical port for me but when I checked last night there was no boats listed for Grimsby (or at least what I could see).

Glad we've seen movement though, I had a horrible feeling we would be sat at Emden for a long time!

My Mark 6 - ordered from Stafford - went to Grimsby.

Shelde Highway is due to arrive at Grimsby from Emden today at 6pm; Autorunner has docked this morning, also from Emden.  Hopefully some of you boys will have cars on those boats.

So it says 4 weeks on the tracker but sales man said its at Emden awaiting shipping most probably tomorrow/Saturday. Anyone know of any ships leaving Emden over the next couple of days.
