VW Customer Services have said that it won't be on a transporter until Friday. Shame as I was hoping to pick it up next weekend.
How long does it take for the dealer to PDI it?

Ah Breeza, that seriously sucks. Must have been a backlog at Sheerness. Mine is due for handover tomorrow (pretty excited) but in terms of PDI, was told it's about 24-48hrs after arriving at the dealership. Speak to your dealer straight away to get timings. Have you had your reg docs through? Mine sorted as soon as the car landed on uk shores

I did ask when it would be registered and they said on the day of the handover which I thought was a bit strange.

[Rh83]

Is a bit strange. My guy registered as soon as it hit the port. Then sorted out finance docs a week before pickup, gave me phone number for VW insurance to sort out ahead. Give them a nudge as seems they're being a bit lax about it!

So I'll be collecting mine on Thursday! Can't wait, it's been sitting at the dealers for a week now and although they said I could go and "visit" it if I want, I just want to drive the bloody thing! Really looking forward to seeing it in the metal!

lol, I'm excited for you Ross.

I found mine strange when I first set off from the dealers, everything was so new and tight (well, still is!) Loved that journey home, although it is a bit of a blur as I couldn't enjoy the drive that much due to all the new gizmos etc. and getting used to the surroundings.

Don't forget pics...

I had a demo for 3 days so I know exactly what to expect, although it was a 3 door DSG so not exactly the same. Just a shame I can't show it some boot for a good 1000 miles or so.

I'm sure I read a statistic somewhere about how the first few hours in a new car can be lethal for accidents as the driver is too busy exploring rather than fully concentrating on the road 

I know I was like that with my A1 as it had all sorts of stuff like internet access. So be careful 

And good luck

Dealer registered my car today and kindly emailed me a choice of about 10 registrations.

Still no sign of it arriving until Friday but strangely got a second stage 6 (arrived in UK) text at about 1:30pm, all my other updates have come just before 9am. Strange..

[p3asa]

The tracker was down for hours. I posted in case it was just me.
I got an email and text at 1.23 but both with the wrong info.
It stated I'd gone back a stage.
