Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

Guys guys guys...
your cars are built... chillax. They'll get here in time!

Bremerhaven is Europe's largest car shipping port. Maybe Pamplona doesn't have the facilities, can't fit the draft of the ship, doesn't have car handling staff, it's not cost effective, doesn't have storage, there could be a million reasons! No need to be calling VW Germany and harrassing anyone. Your cars are built, and they'll be on their way soon enough...

Can't relax, have no more fingernails to chew!

My main reason for asking is I find out that I'm going on holidays around the alleged arrival time and I notice a nice clause within my contract saying if I don't pick up the vehicle with 7 days of being notified it's ready for collection, I forfeit the car to the dealership!

Give your dealer notice and there won't (shouldn't) be a problem...

You bring up some good points Corey, but I can't see the harm in just asking for information nicely

But it is still interesting why the Tombarra is docking in Vigo, Spain, just curious that's all.

Hey Gav,
No response from Wolfsburg as yet today, but did get a call from "The Incompetents" After specifically asking them yesterday to see if they could find out what ship or at which port my car was on, got a reply saying "Yes, we can confirm that your car was built in Spain"....WTF? That was not the question I asked. They kept saying, why do you want to know the port (because I am tracking it duschebag), yeah I guess it should be Spain, they went on. I just gave up in the end

They probably think you're a pirate planning a sneak attack on their car shipment since you're so intent on tracking the cars right down to the ports

Just as well there are no routes that go by Somalia

I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at that!!

just shows how useless they really are! You know why they're asking why you want to know, dont you? It's because they have already allocated our cars to dealerships who want our specs and they will send them there while we miss out on our cars!
