Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[Corey_R]

Corey_R the dot is next to Current SGW Determination (which apparently no-one knows the meaning of). The next step is Allocation of Production Plant which is scheduled for 20/8/2011 followed by Handover to Production also on 20/8/2011.

Fair enough. mr_bzr's could really be in the same state. Until you get to "Checkpoint 8 Handover to Production", your production date could be anything... Whilst ETA's are populated, they are only that, estimates. Some dealers, quite rightly, won't tell people what the production date is until it has actually been set (Checkpoint 8 ).

OMG... speaking of the devil and the devil talks back... made that post in mild annoyance last night. And today afternoon get a call from my dealer saying he has happy news, I have been allocated a build slot this year... week 37... so that would be ... September? and he says mayb 2 months 2 and a half months after production it would arrive in aus sometime for delivery, so I should be getting it late Nov or early Dec. He also said that its one of the first GTI at his dealership that actually has MY12 changes on it. So I don't actually know if that'll affect me much, might go through that post with all the changes. But Oh man... getting excited now... can finally have something to look forward to.

Big step up from "sometime in 2012" anyway.

Hey guys,
Newbie to the boards here but just called my dealer today and he tells me that my new Polo GTI (3dr, Flash Red, panoramic sunroof) has just been built on 7 May! Wohoooo!!!
Dealer is saying that it would be ready for pickup mid July.... haven't trawled through all of these pages yet but does that sound about right?

The frikken wait is killing me!

What date did you put your deposit down mate! and from which dealer? My dealer said late September when I put a desposit down on Jan 29th. Hoping it'll arrive sooner than that. Fingers cross!

Hey Gladiator. Put down the deposit early December 2010 with South Yarra VW.

So yeah, unfortunately, September for you sounds about right. Hopefully early sept though.

I'm with ya on the sooner rather than later!!

Chaps,

Will my car dock in at Port Kembla or Sydney most likely? The Morning carol is due into Melbourne on 26/5 then up north. How long is it likely to take from there? A fews days i guess?

Excited!
