Build Week 21 is finally here

[Diehammer]

Well City of Rome has just left Emden 20 mins ago, was only in port for 8 hours. Hopefully i will get my 5c tomorrow or even a 6. I am just living in hope now probably still sitting gathering dust.

I'll keep an eye out for it - my house overlooks the mouth of the Tyne.

Stage 5c just in. Does this mean that it is on the ship or does it mean that its been allocated a ship?

As 5b is at Emden awaiting ship.

Pretty sure 5c is on ship

As next stage is 6 'arrived at port'

Yep.   Nicked from some ancient thread:

5a: in transit:left the factory - on it's way to Emden.

5b: in transit:shipping - at Emden waiting a boat. Normally received 48 hours after 5a.

5c: in transit:nearly here - on boat to either Grimsby, Tyne or Sheerness depending on dealer location.  At this stage VW can give you the name of the boat, but it sometimes skips this stage.  Now states 10 days to dealer.

6. Arrived in the UK - as stated, takes up to 10 days apparently, although they try and do it within 7.

7. At dealer - just needs PDI and valet and is ready for you.

Thanks guys, hopefully Stage 6 wont be as long a wait as Monkeyhanger had. I am still hoping to collect next weekend as long as my dealer has my private reg ready to go. Going to give him a call at lunchtime.

You will probably get your Stage 7 tomorrow after having the car for a day.

You'll probably get an email in a few weeks with a tracker number, saying "thank you for your recent order"

When I got my GTI, the tracker took 2 weeks after I'd picked it up to tell me my car had arrived at the dealers
