Looking like the dealer wasn't fibbing!!

!

Let's hope mine is on the same boat too... I forgot to ask for the VIN. Whoops!

[Vene]

Great news!!!! Expected delivery for my car is also July.....hope its in the same shipment.

[RWK]

Good News. Unfortunately mine hasn't been built yet.

[Cro]

Frustratingly (for me anyway) it seems that the Wagons were built before Sedans and order dates having nothing to do with build priorities which explains why yours is on the boat so early.

Congratulations though

You can track the location of Vessel from this website

http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Home.html

Just simply type in the name of the Vessel and it will show you the "delayed" position of the vessel. The vessel (Tortugas) which carries my TDI Passat is approaching S.Africa now. Your car is still in Bremerhaven according to this website

Strange.....I got my VIN aswell but can't seem to call up anything on the tracker. First 13 digits are the same i.e. WVWZZZ3CZ8E22XXXX Is it safe to assume its on the same boat?

[RWK]

No, if your VIN doesnt come up on the system. That means you car hasnt been loaded onto any vessel. If its loaded, it should show on the that WW website.

[Vene]

No, if your VIN doesnt come up on the system. That means you car hasnt been loaded onto any vessel. If its loaded, it should show on the that WW website.

Correction.....if the VIN doesn't come up it meant my car has not been loaded on a Wallenius Wilhelmsen ship. Oh well its prob not far behind. Another couple of weeks won't hurt.

[Steve]

I got the call from the dealer today saying the car was on a ship, so I got her to send me the VIN. Turns out the car was loaded on to the Trinidad on the 19th, and is now very close to Southampton. It's expected to arrive in Melbourne on May 24

She completely understands if I get angry at Volkswagen for holding back the car until "launch" though!

[Northy]

Northy, not sure if you care, but from the Booking number and Bill number your VIN is pretty easy to get off the net... I personally don't mind others knowing my VIN, but if you do you should ammend you post. I have XXX'd it out above in case you do the same/

[Northy]

Thankyour Sir

on a side note my dealer is now saying June delivery, so far I have been very impressed with VW, Started off Q3, was then July and now June

[Steve]

Yeah I'm hearing June too... oh yeah!

[Vene]

Guys...need some help with the tracking website. Which option should I use to search with my VIN? I've tried a few but nothing comes up. Dealer's system shows its on the ship tho....any ideas?
