Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Hey Darren
Bess is also ahead of schedule, due in Freo Today, and Pt Kembla on the 12th. 1 day faster than the last update i had.
I recon it'll be nearly 1 month before i see the R, by the time all the processing has been done.
If i'm really lucky, i could see it before the end of October.2010 Golf R - 3dr - Manual - Rising Blue - MDI - SatNav - Milltek TBEComment

FYI there's an iPhone app called 'Ship Finder' (as opposed to the Ship Tracking app mentioned earlier) and Ship Finder has a free 'lite' version (that only updates twice a day - if you're more obsessive than that when tracking your car then you may need to seek professional help).
Edit - it appears you can't search by ship, just view ships by location, so not as useful.Last edited by simonm; 05-10-2010, 06:58 PM.MY11 Rising Blue 5dr DSG Golf RComment

Hey just wondering if anyone can help with the tracking. I went to my dealer today, and he gave me my VIN number and the car is arriving in Australia (destination) the 17/11/10.
How come it cannot be tracked yet if its coming soon? Maybe I have the wrong VIN? Does anyone else have a schedule of the 17/11/10 arrival? WHat boat is it?
Thanks!2010 MY11 GOLF R - 5DR | DSG | RISING BLUE | DYNAUDIO + ACC + BLUETOOTH + 19s + RNS510 |

Hey Rexman. I haven't seen any ships which are meant to arrive in Port Kembla on the 17th Nov yet. The closest is the Morning Camilla on the 18th, which is the boat my R is on. I've pm'd you to see what details we can figure out.Comment

So nice to know I am not the only one tracking a ship called Bess IMO: 9531715... which was in Freo and is now is Melbourne (MELBOURNE

Thanks very much for the info. I rang my dealer, he gave me my vin number and bingo!! My Golf R was on BESS and arrived Melbourne on 10th October 2010. So the dealers delivery date of Nov 2 is quite accurate after all.

You must be happy, the wait is nearly over....When did you order the R?In my garage: Golf R20 Rising Blue, 5dr, 6sp man, Leather, Sunroof, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, DynAudio, MDI & Roof Racks for my board!Comment

Hi Darren,Originally posted by Darren View Post
I ordered my R on July 8th. I was told by my dealer that there is a shortage of DSG transmission and those who ordered DSG were delayed till Dec or early next year. I ordered manual transmission so mine is arriving on time.

I too have also ordered my R with manual transmission and my ship arrives in Melb on 7/11/10. My dealer says a few weeks after that I should be behind the wheel. My friend has an R with DSG and its a ripper, but I reckon manual will be a whole lot more fun.....Keep me posted, I'd love to know what's your take on the tranny?In my garage: Golf R20 Rising Blue, 5dr, 6sp man, Leather, Sunroof, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, DynAudio, MDI & Roof Racks for my board!Comment

Hi all,
My dealer told ma last tuesday that it would be nearly 8 weeks until we even know what build week that my Golf is scheduled for. Is there anything then that I can follow at this point in time? Or do I have to wait until the Build Week allocation?Volkswagen Golf MkVI .:R Fully optioned, bar Recaro's & RVC CANCELLED (Sadly)

That's actually true. You don't receive a confirmed build week for quite some time.
The NADCON ETA Data table populates slowly as time goes on. Hence why some people receive regular "updates" from their dealer. My dealer contacts me once a month to just keep me updated.Comment

Yeah thats fine thats fine. I certainly wasnt implying that I didn't believe the guys, they've been great so far. Just was interested to know if there was anything I could follow at this point in time.Volkswagen Golf MkVI .:R Fully optioned, bar Recaro's & RVC CANCELLED (Sadly)
