UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

So after whining on here that my dealership doesn't know when it'll arrive, just had a call to say it'll be about 7 days before I can pick it up (are you reading my posts Mr.Sales Guy?). So hopefully this time next week, I should have it

Yeah MonkeyHanger that’s bloody quick, my dealer is saying the car is in the country, arrived Saturday - they have no idea when it’ll get to dealership It’s 40 miles from the Tyne where the car is being kept, I’d have expected it to be fairly quick delivery.

The keyless on the Polo can be disabled temporarily, basically each time you get out of the car you can disable keyless entry i don’t remember the exact procedure but I read it in the manual, it’s something like holding the drivers door handle for a few seconds. This should be enough to prevent the ...

Just had a call from dealer to say car is on a ship from Germany. Getting closer!

I've seen a video of someone using ODBeleven to change the digital cockpit colours/design, with the app on the phone they just select the style and the display changes almost instantly, shouldn't be an issue for the garage - likely a 2 minute job with the VW software.

Shipping update! If anyone is waiting for their car in the North, two ships are currently headed to the Tyne and one additional one due Tuesday: City of St. Petersburg - Sailing from Grimsby, originally from Emden, arrives tomorrow (4th April) @ 7:30pm City of Barcelona - Sailing from Emden, arrives...

A ship from Emden headed for Sheerness for the first time in days.
This final wait is a killer.

Did you get a 5b notification when to say it arrived in Emden? Still waiting on mine, supposed to have arrived in Emden last Friday

I’ve just been and looked at the car and gotta say I’m impressed even though it still has the wrapper on and is waiting for PDI, I’ve questioned some previously mentioned items such as the change of spec to the winter pack and sports suspension, so I and the dealer await a response from VW UK, once...

That black roof looks great on the car, glad I picked that option too

Cool, cheers for that How long did it take for the 5b notification?

Heard nothing about car since being told it was on the Glovis Sunlight last week. Ship has been and left Emden, the waiting game continues

Keeping an eye on ships entering the Tyne using https://www.portoftyne.co.uk/marine-inf ... -movements if anyone is interested.

The Sunlight is in Emden!

That is shocking

I was convinced my car was sat in the South African port for a month as my dealer continually told me it was ‘at status 30’. I only found out via VW customer service when I called up that it had been on a ship to Emden! I’m not sure about yours but my dealer is so unhelpful and uninterested that he...

Looks like the Glovis Sunlight hasn't reached Emden yet, its sat out at sea, guess the port is busy. Noticed that the City of Sunderland is heading back to Emden, it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. Hopefully that'll pick up some cars for the Tyne
