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,

  • New Tiguan homeward bound on the Oberon...

    Hey all,

    My new Tig is half way home (just passed through the panama canal) on the Oberon.

    Anyone else have a new car coming in via this same ship?

    ETA: 22/3/11

    Anyone know where the docks are in Brissy? Any good vantage points to get a view?

      I doubt you will be able to see anything.
      Hopefully you pick it up early enough to go on the Tiguan cruise on Saturday.

        Yeah, its also moving slower than expected and is now very dark (and I'm stuck in the city) Would have been cool to watch it sail in though...

        Would be great if I could make it for the cruise! I doubt it will clear customs and be ready for delivery by Friday though?

        Whats the usual time for customs clearance for the people who have tracked it?

        I have spoken with the dealership and they confirmed that there is nothing to dealer fit apart from the mats, just detailing (i assume that just means pealing off stickers etc).

        Never know I guess...

          Hmm, i forgot about customs and all that.
          Mine took 2-3 weeks from the day the ship landed until i had the car if i remember correctly.
