UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Seems there is a few of us with cars at Emden that arrived on the Glovis Century earlier this week. Interesting to see how long before at least one of us gets an idea of time to the UK. I waited a week in 2018 and that seemed long as I hit May bank holiday in Germany with them apparently closed for ...

That’s pretty poor service from your sales rep.....got the sale and then not that bothered by the sounds of it. Personally I’d email my rep and copy in the sales manager. Keep it polite. I’d be amazed if you didn’t get a response then! I think after waiting months for your order the sales reps shoul...

Ima. Did not panic yet. When I ordered mine in 2018 I got conflicting info from the live chat. One day told on a boat then a short while later it was still South Africa. Turned out it was on the boat and ok all along. For some reason the main source of transit info is now the dealer. They have full ...

All eyes on the Rotterdam then. That’s a quick turnaround from the Glovis but the Rotterdam has been sitting there for a few days. Perhaps waiting for the SA boat to arrive....

Fingers crossed all. I know they’ll come eventually but it’s still fun to track them

My 2018 polo was in Emden a week. I know someone else’s whose arrive from SA on the same boat moved to the UK in 2 days.

So really difficult to guess. But I’d hope 3/4 days sounds about right.

Please post if you find out which boat you get. Mines likely to be boat buddies

I’m in Birmingham so Grimsby for me as well. I’ll be checking all the car ships there and arriving to see when they update with destination details. Hopefully on whatever one is Grimsby bound.

Once on it’s way, yes should be about two weeks to collect overall

In fact in 2018 I’m pretty sure it was the Mallaca Highway. Same ship

Getting close. Glovis Century about to arrive in Emden and I see the Mallaca Highway is there due back into Grimsby on the 18th. I live in Birmingham. My polo is 2018 came via Grimsby so fingers crossed for me on that one. I notice the ship called port of Rotterdam is either there or on route so I t...

VW Bham confirmed my car is on the Glovis Century and was in Zeebrugge this morning. So great news.

Next stop Eldon then a short hop over the the UK. Sounds like perfect timing for early 70 plates.

My car was at status 30 in transit on 15th July and Glovis Century left SA on 21st so that will give you an idea depend on when your car went to status 30. I bought the car last Friday. It was already status 30 in transit. So hoping it’s on the Glovis Century. Looked at departures from Port Elizabe...

I’ve not been able to yet get confirmed where my car is. VW Chat put me back to the dealer and apparently the person who can check is on holiday! But last Friday it was status 30 in Transit. I thought 30 was on its way to Emden? Does anyone know? If so I’m working on the basis it’s on the Glovis Cen...

I contacted the dealer today. They said the manager has access to the ‘boat portal’ Unfortunately this manager is off til Saturday but they will then get the details for me. The sales girl I’m dealing with thinks it’s hilarious I want to track it. Guessing she’s not had to factory order herself a po...

Ordered my new R Line last week. I’m a little lucky as it was from pre ordered stock. Got the 8 digit tracking code this morning. App states in transit stage 5. I am assuming on a boat. How’s best to find the boat details? I just tried the Help Chat through the VW website and they said they wouldn’t...

Posted recently. I have a 2018 R Line. Standard apart from Climate control. Went in today to the event. They called me as they said my car was not more than the finance, which it was by a couple of hundred pounds. Not bad for literally 25 months I thought. Gone for R Line 115 same. But in pure white...

I’m sure this has been posted elsewhere.

Got a limestone grey r line. Seeing VW tomorrow to order a new one. Probably stay R Line.

What’s people’s favourite colours? I love limestone but fancy a change. Thinking white silver or black.

Either way with led lights so will look good I think.
