Just looked at the app on my phone, strange!!! I've been driving around in it for a month! Doesn't update for some reason.
Best just to get update from your dealer.
Collected and being driven....... Gti PP 5dr DSG Tornado red, tints and Brescia's.

I think it was on Thursday looking at the maritime info, but the official SMS for stage 6 came through yesterday - the app was updated last week though.

It unlocks more app features such as servincing etc., so it’s worth getting it to stage 7

Wow cool thats not long at all especially when you factor in a weekend in the middle.  The guy at my dealership reckons its usually between 7-10 days on average.

The app has been pretty accurate for me, but email notification seems to be the only reliable option.  SMS seems to just come in randomly or not at all.

My dealer is 35 miles from the port - that might account for the time...

So assuming no damage - how long does a PDI take?

Just had an email from VW with a link to a handover checklist.
“You'll be driving your new car home soon”...
Let’s see how long it takes...

My local dealer is around 160 miles away from the port, but I think the waiting time will be down to how long it takes to get assigned a transporter.  Once its on there its still only a couple of hours away.

I'm at least pretty confident I will have it for easter  :smiley:
