How to track the car you have ordered?

[hooba]

I know that some go through one of the canals (Panamara or Sewers)

That would explain the funny smell my car had on delivery?

One of the very few benefits of living in WA

Haha

There's also at least two routes that the ships take, like completely different oceans and stuff.... lol

I wouldn't doubt that.

I hadn't bothered to check but the Polo is on track. Should be at the docks by end of next week. Hopefully they get it to the dealer quickly so I can stop pestering people for a ride

Polo will most likely take a VERY different route to the Golf, seeing as though the factories are some 12,000 KM's apart.....

Yeah there is that too. Guessing the 12k difference explains why it takes twice as long to get an R than it does a Polo....

Do VW use the same logistics company for the Mexican produced cars i.e. Jetta MkV and MkVI?

[VWjettaboy]

Dermot.

I was merely asking whether VW use a different logistics company for shipping the Jettas from the Puebla plant as opposed to WWL which seem to handle all of the European produced VW's.

Would appreciate any help.

[VWjettaboy]

No problemo Dermot.

Are you aware if VWA use a different logistics company for the Jettas?

The Onyx Arrow doesn't appear as a WWL ship.

I'm sorry if I made you cry!

LOL, I found it amusing!

The Onyx Arrow doesn't appear as a WWL ship.

First google link comes up with this, it isn't a WWL ship by the looks of it.

OK so I've discovered my 118TSI is on a boat somewhere between the UK and Sth Africa, due to hit Port Kembla on 5/10/2010. Crikey it is going to be a long wait.

Any fairytale stories out there of these things arriving ahead of schedule???

Hi all,

I would very much appreciate your feedback here. After waiting 6 months for my wagon it has finally arrived in Brisbane. HOWEVER according to the dealer it takes approximately 3months from landing in Australia due to compliance, plates etc to get to the dealer. Is this correct? This seems excessively long to me and I wanted to check with you all before I go postal.

Thanks in advance!

You've misunderstood your dealer, it takes around 2-3 weeks from landing in Australia until you pick it up depending on the workload of the dealer at the time.

Do a search as this has been answered many many times before.
