Last night it was still at 'build week confirmed' this morning it has moved to 'build in progress' but haven't received a text or email. Bit strange as it's now technically build week 19.

Now just received the 5a (in transit: left factory) text. That's more like it

Just updated to stage 5B

One step ahead of mine
It's due to come in to Sheerness and I see a boat has just left so may be a bit of a wait at Emden for me.

Got the tracker update text this morning! Volkswagen order update: Your Golf order has progressed to stage 5a of 7 (in transit: left factory).

5b this morning so it's sat at Emden waiting for a ship.
Didn't have much luck with my last car as it sat for 3 weeks before making it across to Sheerness.
Anyone know which ships do the Sheerness run?

Chaps, I emailed the dealer who is supplying my company car. As mentioned in a previous post my company will only allow release of the car between certain dates. So may is 19th-23rd and June is 16th-21st.

Got an interesting reply...

Good Morning Martin,

I have tracked your vehicle also on our systems and we are awaiting for the
vehicle to arrive into the UK, I am hoping that your vehicle will be
available for collection for the dates you have provided. I will keep you
updated once I know a definite of arrival.

At the current checkpoint your vehicle is at , I would normally suggest a
10-14 days to arrive on site here at Inchcape Telford Volkswagen in which
the vehicle will undergo a Pre Delivery Inspection before collection.

Many Thanks

Mike Hughes
Fleet Supervisor

Looking promising for May collection then...

[breezasib]

From that estimate sounds like yours may be on a ship already!

[TheCarMadDad]

I've sent another email to the dealer asking if he is able to tell me if it is a ship and if so which one. Awaiting a reply from them....

[Ross Detours]

Email from my dealer this morning to say my car should be here in the next 10 days!
