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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      My dealer sent me a screen shot of their computer system showing all the details - so he should be able to do the same

          Same here. If the car has been built it does have a VIN, and I can't think of any good reason why your dealer won't supply it to you.

          • I received my VIN on Oct 3rd but its still not on a boat according to W&W website. The waiting game sucks.

            • Updates on the WWL tracking site can lag a few days behind what's actually happened, and unless you pay for premium tracking services there will be a gap in the tracking between Africa and Oz (well, there was on all the free ship tracking sites I tried).

              And you're right, the waiting game sucks, and it seems worse the closer you get to actual delivery. My R hearse took over a month longer than what I was initially told, and based on delivery dates others are being told it appears I was one of the lucky ones !!

                    I asked the dealer to get them powder coated black so they charged me 200 per wheel, which I thought was reasonable.

                    I was waiting for a December car with sunroof but switched to get rid of a sunroof
