The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[niulf]

Received email from my dealer. It says the car is still with Patricks and they've already requested for release. Hopefully I can pick it up on this Thursday or Friday. BTW, my GTI was discharged on 25/02.

Dealer told me today that my CS is on the mid-march ship.
Fingers crossed.

What does "discharged" mean ?

Released from quarantine?

I think it just means the car is unloaded from the ship because Patricks tracking shows "Received at Autocare Ingleburn on 27 Feb 2010".

Hi, Steve_tdi, what are those tyres?

[STV4SYT]

Dunlop Sportmaxx.


so far seem pretty grippy in the wet, not had a chance to drive it much in the dry yet.

definitely not as much Traction Control light flickering at me as in the GT diesel.

Nice. Can not wait for mine.

Same here, was told that the car is in Ingleburn came of the docks on 25/02. However, build date is in December the dealer reckons. He has given me an expecetd date of 25/03 for delivery.

Thats great, just out of curiosity is it 2009 or 2010 built.

Mine is built 15/12/2009
Complianced last week.

Bit annoying, but with the timeframe i sell my cars there wont be too many 2nd hand ones around yet so will hopefully make little difference.

Didnt affect the resale of the GT..

Received email from my dealer:

"I have been informed by Volkswagen that the ship carrying your GTI was quarrantined by Customs.

That explains why we are still waiting for it."

Mate whats the 10th letter on your Vin Number, mine is A which makes it 2010 bulit based on my search. Can be wrong though.

Also if the car is in Ingleburn than will it be ok to go.

I ordered my MK6 Golf TSI the last week of January and it was built day 1 of week 10 and is expected to land at the docks in Brissy 24 April and delivered to me early May. When I first ordered it they told me end of May early June for delivery. It just keeps getting bought forward. Can't wait!! Time to start thinking about selling the Corolla.
