Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[gavs]

Fingers crossed my car gets out of the Patrick's holding area next week. If it's in the hands of my dealer by Wednesday I'll get it on Wednesday as planned. If not then it will hopefully be the following weekend.

Has anyone hear anything re the strike action at Patrick's and impact on cars that are off the wharf but in the holding area? I have a copy of the Patrick's press release re the strike and althoughnit doesn't mention their holding area it doesn't sat it's unaffected. The release suggests all of Patrick's is impacted, so am not getting my hopes up too much to get my car next weekend.

The proposed strike action only affects container vessles and the loading/unloading of containers. Patrick Stevedores is the company that are having the strike against them with this. Patricks Logistics are a different division of the company all together which is the part that look after the automotive deliveries, freight forwarding etc. This part of the company isn't striking, hence why our cars still got off the boats on shedule....Well, the ones on the Morning Carol did anyway, only because as we now know, blues ships are faster

Probably also because the strikes were called off: AFP: Australian dock workers call off strike

True the strikes were called off, but even with the strikes going ahead the unloading and pre-delivery aspects of the auto side wouldn't have been affected

All of those in Melbourne who were on the Tombarra - Check your status on the W&W SITE - SHOULD SAY DELIVERED!!!!

The status updated about 10 mins ago.

Yep, mine says delivered!! As of 730 this morning apparently.. Does this mean it's been received at the dealer?

Yay, she's been built and has a commission number and VIN. The dealership is thinking that I may get her in mid July - smack bang in the middle of winter. It'll be months before I get to have a nice drive with the sunroof open.

Congratulations Apples! One step closer.

You never know your luck, we do get the occasional sunny Winter's day!

Thanks Frostee.

Not long for you to go now.....I'll keep an eye out for a white GTI with sunroof in the mean streets of the inner eastern 'burbs. I'll make sure I give a friendly toot!

Guys, I can't seem to bet the W&W tracking site to work, am I doing it wrong? It had a build date of week 20 this year so should be at least trackable.

I entered in the VIN that the dealer gave me in the cargo ID field, the VIN is
WVWZZZ6RZBY5007** (last two digits withheld)

does this sound like the correct VIN?

Which browser? Chrome doesn't work. Firefox does. VIN looks similar to mine.
