Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[Frostee]

Hey Payno, thrilled to hear you've got your new car and that you're ahppy with it.

Mine will be available some time next week but with work commitments I really just can't gte there before the weekend. I'm booked in to collect it at 0900Hrs Saurday morning. I'm actually taking my wife with me and am going to let her drive it home from the dealership. This might surprise everyone, but i am very keen for her to feel comfortable driving the car as that was a major factor in me deciding on the Polo versus other options. I think by letting her have the 10 minute drive home she'll be happy, and then once home I can take it out and give it a good workout.

Out of interest, what colour is the display on your climate control aircon? is there any privacy glass or are all windows side and rear just normal glass?

looking fwd to seeing your photos over the weekend , and again congratulations!!!!!

Drive it hard when warm, just dont abuse it. Cars that are babied are generally the problem cars.

This has been my general approach. Don't worry, she sure as he'll ain't being babied.

Thanks for the comments everyone... Looking forward to you all getting your cars too. I guarantee you will be as excited as I am when you do.

Frostee.. Pretty sure there's no privacy glass.. All windows are the same, and the climate control has a blue display. I bet Sat can't come quick enough for you now! so the wife gets the 10 min drive home and then she's all yours?

Now... I just need to make it through the day at work without thinking too much about my car...

Ps. Didn't get a free keyring! I feel ripped off.

I'll just have to buy one of those fancy silver vw logo ones.

Just got a note from my dealer. car is still in patrick's hoing area and not yet released. Will need to be released and with my dealer if I am to get it by Saturday week. Fingers crossed.

Also, re wheel alignment he checked and told me that in pre-delivery they check it and if it's needed they do it.

I've just spoken to my dealer - they've advised that my car is also still in the holding area and will need 2-3 days after receiving it to have it ready for delivery. However, they've said they don't do Saturday deliveries, which is quite frustrating. I really wanted to pick her up on a Saturday so I could have all weekend to play! Looks like it will be an early morning delivery, drive to work and try not to think about the fun I could be having with my new toy!!

I didn't get a free keyring either, but I ordered two beautiful chrome ones off ebay for about $7 shipped

Received an email from my dealer today and the car is at Patricks at the moment, he also said that there could be a 5 day turnaround. Still hoping to pick it up on the Saturday of the Queens birthday long weekend

Aaah... yeah - I was starting to say... the "discharged thing", not that I have any idea what it means, isn't an indication that it's completed compliance. Pretty much, once it hits Patricks, the "ETA Data" is from then on useless.
