How to track the car you have ordered?

**Bam** · 11-03-2010, 07:28 PM

I still cannot find it on the tracking website, if it is on a boat according to the dealer and built in week 8 2010 should it be showing by now? I am told it will arrive in Sydney 13th April. Should my VIN look like WVWZZZ1KZAW......
The six dots represent six numbers at the end of the VIN or is this not correct.

Any help would be appreciated as i am starting to think i may be getting fed a line by the dealer.

This doesn't sound right...........if the dealer is giving you a dock date of the 13th of April, this means the ship is sailing right now! So as long as you are checking on this website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...countryList.do then the vehicle should be there as it would have been scanned when it arrived at the port for shipping. The website should also tell you the expected arrival date at your port.

I would suggest that you check the VIN with the dealer or it could be possible that you are entering the VIN in the wrong spot on the site. Oh and another thing, make sure you use the 'Track & Trace' section of the website.

My vin starts the same as yours to. My car is a week 10 build and should have been loaded onto the boat yesterday and should arrive on the 25 of April in Brissy. It seems you have to wait a few weeks before it shows up on the tracking. Mine shows nothing too.

BAM - Vin is correct except my dots appear to have different values.

TDiJetta - did your dealer tell you it was shipping 10/3 and arriving 25/4 or is that your assumption? I hope you are right as that puts week 10 cars on the Torino which is on its way. Only issue is mine is a GTI and yours is a 118TSI so different production run and hence maybe different shipping times.

Followed up with the dealer again today and told it will not be arriving in the country until 24th April now. Then it has to go through customs etc so another 2 weeks after that until it gets to the dealer. The wait just gets longer and longer........

Probably explains why my VIN is not showing on the shipping website yet. The boat scheduled for this journey has not left Germany yet as such the car has not been scanned on. Hopefully the dates do not keep slipping.

GTI Crow was your GTI week 10 build? and how did you know the ship your car was on? just based on the build date? if so mine should be on the way too.. yay

Yes my car is week 10, but I am unsure of what ship - working off the dates you gave they correspond to the Torino on the tracking website by checking the port to port schedules. I hope it is correct, but it could be any of the ships leaving over the next few weeks if they are not on the Torino.

My 118TSI Golf is a week 10 build and is on the vessel Torino which left Bremerhaven on Wednesday the 10th.

Can you see your VIN on the tracking site. As the ones loaded at Bremerhaven on the 10th are on the site, but mine is not among them. Last 6 #s on the Vin seem to only be 32.... whereas mine is 34.....

Hopefully mine has just not been updated yet.
