Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[GTI mk6]

Ordered 12/4/2011 , pickup 31/5/2012 so that's over 13.5 months.

Yours was an insanely long wait Karl!
Good luck for Thursdays pick up, look forward to your first post as a new Polo GTI owner (once you eventually tear yourself away from the drivers seat that is) LOL

Dropped into my local dealer as my mother in law decided in the end the best car she has driven (we drove Rio, Fiesta, Swift, Jazz, Fabia and Accent - plus sat in i20, i30, Mazda 2 and 3, Nissan Micra, and a bunch of others i forget now!) was the Polo Tsi comfortline so we picked one up for her, brand new and in stock, she gets it next week... LOL, shes chosen since we did and still gets her polo quicker than us LOL.

Anyway, whilst there it seems our car was built two weeks back and is listed as a MY12, so it would seem we wont have the MY13 wheels... no bother... main thing is that its built and will be on its way soon.

Of course VW's dedicated Polo info system for us who are waiting fails again... it was by chance i was in the showroom and saw the salesman Im now dealing with (the useless guy i actually bought from has left now), else we wouldnt know at all... anyway, all signs are the car will be here in August and we will pick up in early Sept...

FINALLY!! Congrats, hopefully within approx 10 - 14 days...you should be thoroughly enjoying your ride.
The heated seats are perfect for these cold mornings, heat up fast too
IMO the extra wait to get these and the bixenons was worth it..........(now).

Lucky bugger, did you get a cancelled or unassigned order? As GTI mk6 said, hopefully delivery within the next fortnight. Not sure how to track that part of it.

Nearly every cold morning, when my wife and I hop into our car, I say "Wouldn't it be good if we had heated seats" The GTI is turning up just in time for the colder Canberra weather.

AFAIK, there is no way to track the car once its been offloaded and left the wharf.

Already cold in Melbourne, so heated seats getting a good work out.....Polo has two heat settings...if you choose the warmest, after some time, it will revert to the next setting down...(assuming its a safety feature to protect the heat element).....also great for sore lower backs...seems to hit the spot nicely....you'll love em
These seats heat up quicker than my Golfs...possibly because that's all leather (no suede) so feels colder?

Im told my car is built and I have a VIN, so how do I track it from the factory to delivery... I read thru many many pages on this stuff but im confused as there are too many pages and I never have time to read stuff properly these days. anyone able to offer a simple set of one liners on this?

Sorry to be a pain...

Go to https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/ and enter your VIN at Cargo ID

After your car has been loaded onto a boat, you can track that boat using Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions

Easy

edit: I have read that your VIN will not be found until after it's been loaded onto the ship for a day or two.
