Got my VIN - now what?

[Mainne]

Hi all

Am very excited and have my VIN for my Tig. Still no idea as to the exact ETA.

Anyone know how I can decode it?

Cheers,

Mainne.

You should be able to use the vin number to locate your vehicle on the tracking website.
There is a sticky in the mk6 section that tells you how to do this.
The decoder won't work for my10 cars as the year 2010 has changed the layout of the vin.


When did you order your car???
I ordered January and still don't have the Vin.

Thanks Team V.

I think we also spoke in another thread. Ordered in the first week of December.

I have confirmed it is a 2010 build, so perhaps the decoder won't work for the Tig.

Anyone know how long it takes roughly to receive the car after getting the VIN?

Ahh that's right, i remember now.

If it is built in 2010 the decoder won't work as the mk6 VIN's are stating 1985 build dates due to the new VIN useage.

If you have the VIN they have probably started buiding your car so i would hazard a guess at 6 weeks shipping and compliance, then another week or so to pick it up from the dealer.

Maybe ask your dealer if they have a propowsed delivery date for you.

Dealer fitted options will also add on extra time to the delivery date.

I may well be wrong but I was told that you only get the VIN after the vehicle has been produced. Could be that's changed over the years though.

I was told the VIN was allocated before building begins, however your vehicle won't show up on the tracking site until it is finished production and is ready to load onto the ship.

Could have been a furphy from the dealer though.
