    Talking diesel - even fiat kicks arse!

    Punto is brilliant - small, sharp, agile, corners like a gokart, and goes like the clappers with 280nM torque under 1100kgs - nearly as much oomph as the VW 2.0TDi (have golf 2.0TDi DSG Sportline) - and all for under $30k on the road.... - but will pale in comparison to the Eos

    Hey all an update on my Eos and thanks to Peter for the heads up


    Build date - 22/03/07

    Booked for Shipping - 12/04/07

    Received for Shipping - 25/04/07

    Shipping Date from Bremerhaven - 26/04/07

    Arrival Date Sydney - 06/06/07

    Delivery Date - 18/06/07 Fingers Crossed


    Would love to know why it took 1 month from build to shipping?

    If this is standard I gues we can say the time from build to delivery in Australia is about 3 months then

    For those of you interested in tracking a car for Australian Delivery the website of the Shipping Line is here and all you need is a VIN number -

    Hello all

    Good to see your EOS will be arriving soon sydeos.

    I have been told the one I want will take around 7 months Dont know why. It might be longer cause when I bought the passat I was told 3 months and it took 5.5 months to arrive.

    Slitko - yours may come earlier than 7 months. When l ordered mine in mid march the dealer said delivery would be around late sept / early oct. Two weeks ago he rang to say production date has been brought forward and car now built and will take delivery around end of june /early july - 3 months earlier than planned.

    Interesting to hear waiting period is 12 months. Dont think VW Aust will let that happen as they got bad publicity with the long waiting list for the golf gti.

    Hi Sydeos, any updates on the delivery of your car. ?

    Finally got the Vin # for my car. I'm trying to track the car based on the weblink you gave. When l click onto the site l'm ask to enter the cargo id. Do l enter the VIN #?

    thanks

    That is correct melbeos.

    In the Cargo Tracking Section you select the Auto Cargo option and then enter the Vin Number.

    Then once you have the Vessel name you can keep track of the voyage by going to the Vessel Page in the Schedules Section and entering the Vessel Name.

    Mine is on the Tombarra which left Melbourne today and is due in Sydney tomorrow. It is running 2 days behind it's original schedule.

    The link to their Customer Centre is here -
