Re: Delivery/Tracking

@brainbow I have the 6 now to say at Grimsby but nothing further yet, lady at Hayselden Barnsley has promised a quick turnaround when it arrives but as yet mine is still stuck in Grimsby. Do the local dealerships have any knowledge of when transporters are scheduled or is it just a lottery for them...

Re: Running car in

I picked my GTI up last Wednesday. The first few days (200 miles) I tried to keep it below 2500rpm but took it up to 3000rpm on occasions, always varying the revs and allowing it to change gear, even on motorway I was constantly accelerating gently to 70mph then letting off and slowing to 50mph and ...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

For those hoping that their cars might get off one boat and on to another in a matter of days, I’d say you’d be very lucky for this to happen. Mine arrived in Emden during the last week of July. From what my dealer tells me, it should either have now just arrived in UK or be on it’s way very shortly...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

I’m getting my car from a dealer just down the road from Grimsby and have been told my car is heading for Sheerness so it would it seem that might be where most cars are going at the moment regardless of location... Apparently from this point it can then take up to 2 weeks at the port waiting to be ...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

Not a clue! I am quite surprised tbh. I was expecting it at Grimsby as well as my dealer is just down the road from Grimsby. Apparently cars in the middle of the UK however can go to either Sheerness or Grimsby. Either way, not gonna complain :) Just spoke with my dealer and the car is on the Isar ...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

For those who had cars on the Glovis Star that arrived in Emden on Tuesday, I’ve just received my 5B notification this morning to say it has arrived in Emden. For reference I ordered January 27th and received the 5A notification on July 3rd. Further update on mine, I’ve just had a call from my deal...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

I never received an email or checked on the app (the app doesn’t work for me). The dealership were going to contact me today on the whereabouts of the car however, I checked on the VW website through Live Chat and they happily updated me on the location of the car right this minute. I’m not sure ab...
