Mine has just disappeared too, though it was at three weeks. Might be a system glitch...

Mine has disappeared too. Hopefully that does mean they are updating the tracker.

There seem to be a number of vehicle carriers due into and then out of Emden over the next few days, including one already there due to arrive in Grimsby on Saturday. Dare I hope that it's a sign that mine might be on that ? :undecided:
Arrived: GTI, DSG, 5 Door, Carbon Steel Grey, Service Plan, Winter Pack, Side Airbag, DCC (or ACC - the Adaptive Chassis thing, ok?), Park Assist, Rear View Camera

Indeed, Schelde Highway, Weser Highway and Autoprestige are all due in Emden within the next 10 hours. Doesn't mean they'll be heading to the UK though. Neckar Highway has just left for Grimsby.

Every time the tracker has went down in the past it did not change anything for me. Overnight the changes happen though.

So glad to see I am not the only one spending my time tracking and predicting ships in almost real time  :grin: :grin: Really should do some work though  :evil:

The tracker seems to be back online again, but still showing 3 weeks. As Valenni says, changes to it seem to happen overnight so I'll be checking again in the morning in the (most likely) vain hope that it will have changed to 10 days and that it might land in Grimsby on Saturday morning.

Well car is in the country. Spoke to VWUK who quite cheerily said it will be with your dealer on Monday ring them sort out a quick PDI and away you go!!

Dealer said hmmm we'll see about Monday as for you having it your company won't let it out the garage until it's taxed and that can take 14 days from when the car arrived ....... Joy to agony in one phone call!!!

That is the biggest load of sh!te I've ever heard in my life (and I've heard some whoppers from VW over the last 5 months) - it gets taxed instantly online when they receive the car and you've picked your reg number via the DVLA website (which they have to do obviously) - the DVLA then post you your tax disc - but the car is taxed straight away.  Yet again a dealer telling porkies so that they don't have to do some actual work on a deadline - if they receive your car on Sat/Monday morning there is literally no reason why you shouldn't pick it up Monday evening!  Don't accept the bullsh!t - its your car and you're paying good money for it - don't accept w7nky excuses because they're lazy!

totally agree with matchboy. sounds like a lazy dealer to me. my tax disc came in the post this morning exactly 1 week after I picked my plate.
