    The VIN is the cargo ID if I remember correctly. Shipping company details are live, car could be in holding bay at dock but until loaded may not be considered as received by ship co.

    Looking at others in the UK which is the same route, it's only a day or so to the port so I would say the car is either there still waiting or is E route already and just isn't showing in the tracking.

    You can only track once on the boat. Dealer should be able to confirm production. Anything in between is lost

    Yeah I have the VIN and confirmation it was built, so my guess its sitting at a dock waiting. It had a fixed build week that was delayed 2 weeks at the last minute so it's probably literally missed it's boat.

    Finally showed up, it was there since 5th Feb and departing on the 24th, arriving Melb 4/4th so late April at worst. I'd say it missed a boat otherwise it would have been here early March. April was my preferred time so all good.

    Does anyone know why the storage box that was standard in the Mk2s isn't in the Mk3s? Ie is there something physicallly in the way? I was thinking about getitng the Oct mk3 version either under the driver or the passenger. I have the tech pack but not the comfort pack so non electric seats. Both at the moment have the stupid vest thing under them. I wasn't sure if there was an amp under one in the way if you have the Canton system.

    My MY14 with Tech Pack has it on the passenger side, so it definitely fits. The Canton amp is under the passenger floor as well.

    I'm at 5,500km now on a manual RS wagon. I have the typical B-pillar/door rattle ~2000rpm. The frequency makes it very hard to pin down exactly where it is coming from. It is VERY annoying and becoming more and more common. Probably occurs 80-90% of the time when driving. I'm tempted to fix it myself as experience tells me to have zero confidence in workshop staff.

    I also have the jerk that happens mid-throttle after a cold start. I expect it is just poor ECU programming from VW/Skoda, or a sensor was changed after programming and now gives a slightly different voltage signal to software version.
