I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[JamesTiguan162]

I took one for a test drive, and there were no DSG farts, but I did get a crackle from the exhaust when I gave it a bit.

A crackle is good enough just want to know if the 162 has some special flare to it . Thanks for your comment

Ahem, MEDIUM SUV

Haha my apologies, certainly nothing wrong with a plus size!

we had ours for 10 days. We're still being gentle with the right foot but the exhaust note is nothing to speak of. No farts, no crackle not really much character at all. These's more visual flash (fake outlets) than aural excitement.

Yeah. As soon as your car is built you will get a VIN. About 1-2 weeks after this happens your car will be loaded onto a boat. You can track your car a couple of days after the boat has left the port.

My car exited the production plant on the 27/1 arrived at the ports on the 1/2 and from the documentation will leave the port tomorrow (8/2) from there it is a 42 day trip across the ocean and will be in Melbourne on the 22/3. Add 2-3 weeks before you can pick it up from the dealer.

This is obviously dealer dependent as I never received any notification prior to the date to pick it up. Mind you I never chased it either as it was never going to make things move faster than what they were already.

Hahaha yeah I deal with clients at my job every now and then and I don't wanna be like some of them and give the dealers a hard time . I went to the email that told me my car shipped, then clicked on the link a few days ago and it no longer displayed a ship and it displayed things as if I already had the car and what to do now. From that I assumed the car was in the country and couple days later the dealer called me with a solid pick up date. Now I'm just patiently waiting to pick my new baby up

I have never had any communication from the time I left the dealer to the time they rang me to pick it up. I read of emails from VW etc but I got nothing at all which I found surprising from reading posts here. It is only a car though so the world was not going to end because I did not know.

Looks like a whole train load of Tiguans just arrived at the port ready for shipment.

I hope mine is there! I got my VIN on 23rd Jan (after asking for it, so presumably it may have been in the system earlier), but I still can't see it on the track and trace.

Same - also can't see on the track and trace, but I was told that mine will be shipped this week. Expected to arrive in Sydney on the 21/03.

Same, I got my VIN back on the 27th Jan and according to the NADCON dates the ship that leaves tonight (BESS) should be the one that mine is on. Hopefully both ours will be on this ship.

Fingers, toes and everything else crossed!
