Not sure how true this is but the impression I get is that if your car lands at Tyne or Grimbsby, there’s also a better chance of it arriving at the dealership quicker than if it landed at Sheerness.monkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jan 17, 2019 3:51 pmI think Barry got his less than a week after it landed at port. Mine took 9 days from port landing to in my hand, and if it hadn't required me booking a delivery slot for having it delivered by trailer from Nuneaton to Tyneside, i'd have had it 4 days quicker.roywolfey wrote: Thu Jan 17, 2019 2:20 pmMine was:Troyj369 wrote: Thu Jan 17, 2019 10:32 am My Polo GTI arrived in the uk today, does anyone know how long it takes till handover now, I was told should be ready next week but they have lied so many times already don’t know what to believe

Arrived Dealership 10/07/2018
Delivery 13/07/2018
Sometimes cars sit at port for up to a few weeks. In the current climate where dealerships have seen a WLTP famine in car sales, i'd expect VW to not make them wait any longer than is necessary to get them to the customer and get paid.
Happy Anniversary. We should have a separate who’s waited the longest thread.johnpolo2 wrote: Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:18 am Happy anniversary. It's one year today that I ordered the GTI+. I realise the plus stands for delay.

Tyneside, for sure. Most of my 9 VWs bought from new have been for Benfield Newcastle or Pulman Sunderland, and they've all been delivered from dock to dealership in less than 4 days.roywolfey wrote: Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:50 amNot sure how true this is but the impression I get is that if your car lands at Tyne or Grimbsby, there’s also a better chance of it arriving at the dealership quicker than if it landed at Sheerness.monkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jan 17, 2019 3:51 pmI think Barry got his less than a week after it landed at port.

I win I think. 12th January.
It goes on to saythe new test regime called “Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Proceedure (WLPT) is being phased in to replace the current “New European Driving Cycle (NEDC)”, this May result in an increase in the fuel consumption and/or CO2 emissions figures that where provide to you when you ordered your vehicle, and therefore may effect the level of excise duty that you pay.
Yesterday I emailed the dealer to ask them for a update on the above and all they could say was they ran the spec through the vw configuration and there’s been no changes. However this reply doesn’t answer my question about the letter, so I may need to pay them a visit to push them for clarificationAs the fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures from the WLPT may not be available for the vehicle you have ordered, we are not able to provide you with them. Therefore at the present time, and in line with the regulations, we can only provide the current official figures for the model you have ordered, as determined in accordance with the NEDC
That's not too bad considering that I ordered mine in the start of June 2018 and I'll be getting mine in two weeksgnome wrote: Tue Jan 22, 2019 9:20 am Just got a text and the app has updated with my build week.
Ordered Sept 4th 2018... Got a build week commencing 25/03/2019
Last week I was given an unconfirmed build week same as yours but I've had no stage 3 update on the tracker yet.Jefferz wrote: Tue Jan 22, 2019 5:09 pm Hi I’ve been monitoring this thread as a non member for a while but thought I would contribute now I have my build date. I was very concerned that, like a lot of you, I’d be waiting for ages but it seems it will be built on the week commencing 18th March 19 and was ordered at the end of August/beginning of September last year.
Mine is the Polo GTI+ in Grey with 18” alloys, panoramic sunroof and reversing camera.
