The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

When does the car get registered? After its sent to the dealer? I want to finalize my insurance but with out a VIN or rego number it can't be done.

I asked my dealer for the rego number they would put on my car but they told me that I would only find out the rego the day before delivery/handover.

They should be able to give you the VIN once they have received the car which is also what I'm waiting on for insurance purposes.

Give them a call and ask them to email you the VIN. They should comply.

Thanks, will enquire about the VIN to get the insurance ball rolling.

I organized all that in 30 minutes while sitting with the business manager. I was on the phone to AAMI, they emailed VW and all was done. Even though you only buy a car once in a blue moon, they go through the process a lot so don't stress about it.

I'm buying through novated lease and they require proof of insurance 24 hrs before car pickup so the earlier i get the info, the better.

My Golf is on a ship that's due to dock on 9th March. Is anyone else in the same boat? Does anyone know the name of the ship so we can track its course on the Internet (perhaps even when it's due to leave Germany), please?

Obtain your cars VIN from the dealer and go to w&w track & trace, cargo ID is your VIN

Finally decided to let the trusty 2006 2.0 TDi 6 speed manual go last week and upgrade to a new Golf. Could not fault the old Mk 5 really, close to 100K km with no issues. In its later years it was largely used as a shopping trolley/kids taxi, with the very occasional longer trip to blow the soot out. But on several fronts it was time to move it on, you try to convince yourself the old one was good for the job, but modern motoring advances are good at creating an itch that only a new car can scratch!!!
Decided that the way we drive it these days a diesel was not worth it, and we were keen to stick to a manual transmission, so it was the 90 TSI Comfortline 6 speed manual we went for. Picked it up yesterday and since then have been looking for all sort of outings/errands to run to get behind the wheel!!
Even after 2 days of city driving it really is a nice car indeed, clearly a marked improvement in smoothness and reduced NVH compared to the old model (no doubt due in part to the petrol engine compared to the previous oiler). The other obvious improvement is in the area of "infotainment", but I must be honest and say this does come at the cost of simplicity of function - there are now a myriad of messages on display, both in the MFD and the touch screen in the console. And the whole Stop-Start function, particularly in a manual car with no handbrake for hill starts, is going to take a bit of getting used to.
But all in all happy motoring!!!
