Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[GTI JOE]

I would say one that is somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean?

My 5 door Polo GTI got built in early march and was meant to be shipped on 12/4 however saw the dealer today and they said it got shipped on 18/4 They are saying roughly 8 weeks to get it here to newcastle, does that sound right or is it likely to be a little shorter? This wait is much worse than i thought it would be!!!

Get the VIN and check what ship it's on and ETA (Search on this forum for tracking your new car).

Tarago is coming into Bremerhaven, hoping I make it onboard this one

Anyone had a recent build in South Africa? Just wondering roughly how long it took to get from there to here?

I ordered November 13.. Arrived by ship in Fremantle 6th April and in my possession 15th April. So 5 months.. But then my story continues.. 16th April engine keeps cutting out, RAC looks at it 17th April, Towed on 18th April and at VW Servicing since then

Less than 2 weeks from port to possession Love it.

yeah I was pleasantly surprised by this. Was expecting another two week wait. Although I may end up waiting that long anyway for a fix.

Does the same vessel that transports the cars from Spain to Bremerhaven, then go on to Australia? Or do they get dropped off at Bremerhaven, then go through more checks in Germany before being shipped to Australia?

I've got a VIN from the dealer but it's not showing up in the tracking system.

The GTI is built in Spain, then takes a train ride down to Bremerhaven to be loaded onto a ship. Don't worry if it hasn't appeared on the tracking site. It took a whole month from the date my car left the factory to the date it was loaded onto a boat. You just gotta play the painful waiting game .
