Which port?

Post by **LeapingDeere** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 4:35 pm

I've been informed by my Dealer that my car has arrived into the UK port. Does anyone know which port it is?

Southampton? Grimsby?

Ive been able to keep my excitements levels very low for these past months but upon hearing that Im starting to fail!!!

I hope it's not Grimsby. The staff shortages up there are causing all sorts of issues with vehicle distribution...

As far as I know all VAG cars come into either Sheerness, Grimsby or Newcastle. Sadly there's no way of tracking which port your car will arrive unless you know the exact boat it was on when leaving Emden.

Really none wiser then! They said 'hopefully...stock within the next couple of weeks' so it's very non committal

Don't think I've ever had a car take that long from port to dealer before.

From what I understand, the delays at Grimsby are adding 3-4 weeks at the mo. My mates RS6 was supposed to be ready for Sunday collection, yet it still isn't with the dealer afaik. Don't want to freak you too much, more of a warning. What it's all about I don't know.

Edit - just checked & the delays are dealer related, not Port. His car was shipped to Stirling instead of Guildford.

ooops.

I actually only live 25mins away from Grimsby, so might have to hop the fence and look for a Misano RS4, shouldn't be too many in there!

If his car had been stuck in grimsby for 4 weeks, it'd stink of fish

I remember being told mine could take 2/3 weeks
then got a call to say they had the car and it was ready within 5 days ,
so hopefully for you its 3 weeks tops,
either way not long now for spanking new RS4

10 days Emden to UK port, 4 days UK port to dealership.

Any news on the car yet?

Post by **LeapingDeere** » Sun Mar 08, 2015 1:44 pm

No word yet. I'm going to give them a couple of days next week before pestering them.

There are issues at port. Too many cars.....it's a(mother) farce.

Must be the new reg rush. Hopefully they would have cleared it before mine arrives

My brothers Golf GTi was due last week, but there's still no sign of it. He's been told that there are delays at the UK ports and promised it'll be the end of March at the latest...
