Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

Received letter with vin and advising bremerhaven is departing port. Rang VW 1800 number re status and advised vehicle built left factory and awaiting departure at doc. Logic tells me that the December arrival time promised by dealership is unlikely. Even if it leaves this wk surely an arrival prior to Christmas is pushing it???
Thoughts?

Anybody have any idea what this means? I can't actually ask my dealer because I guessed their login details after they sent me a screenshot... ... ...

Sounds like they're recharging to battery to me

mmm thats what I would've thought too. 3 working days to recharge a battery? zzz the last leg of the wait is the worst... everything seems to take longer.

Finally good news, ship left southhampton heading to us. Coming to Aus via Panama canal. 7 December ETA as promised. In time for Christmas. Very relieved.

Hopefully! It should take about 4 weeks to get here, then at least 2 weeks on the docks / customs and then the dealer to do their thing which should take a 1 (hopefully less) week.

Which takes you up to nearly Xmas days! Fingers crossed!!!!

So I cracked the ****s at my dealer today, and they finally came back to me with a promise of monthly updates and an updated ETA of late January / early Feb 2012.

This has made me a bit happier

Prior to this, I had no responses to over 5 emails i sent to the dealer!
