Car just arrived at the dealer, ordered June 13th. Will pick it up next Tuesday.

 

Got Bridgestone tires, hope they are good.

 

 

 

Are there different parts of the dock for different manufacturers?

Sort of. I'm based at the port of Immingham and the Container Terminal here that handles the car ferry's is mainly importing BMW's at the moment. There used to be Mazdas and Mercedes coming in but they have moved elsewhere. It changes every so often due to who wins the contracts etc. There are also separate parts of Immingham Dock operated by DFDS Seaways that bring in Kias.

 

All the Volkswagen group cars up here come via Grimsby River Terminal. Then there are Toyotas that come via the main part of Grimsby dock.

Hi,

 

ordered O3 1.8 TSI DSG 4x4 Liftback version on 5th August, today I got confirmation it will be produced on week 38 (mid September), plus around 2 weeks for transport to Poland. If dates won't move, it will be 6 weeks for production since ordering :-)

Hi All

 

We ordered our first Octavia on 16th July and have just had a call to say it will hopefully be built on week 36 but this is unconfirmed. Working in a car plant myself I know things can go upside rather quickly but hoping it all runs smoothly and we have the keys for the start of October. (Fingers Crossed)

We ordered our Octavia in early June, just heard from Skoda that it's on the production line. Should get it mid September.

So just had a email from my dealer and my car will be on the Emden ferry docking in Dublin on August 31st. They reckon 7-10 days after that I should be in it. I ordered on June 5th and it was built week 29, so all in all it looks like 3 months which is not so bad. 

The end of the waiting is in sight!     

Well ...... I don't know how its happened but our car was due to be built week 35 (this week).

Today (day 4 of Wk35) I get a call from my dealer telling me the car is going to be with them a week today and could I collect it on the Saturday after that.

 

WOO HOO....

Originally it was going to be delivered after we had set off on an 8 week tour of Canada and the States, but now we will get to drive it up to London before we leave, meaning we would not get it until the 2nd of November.

Crossing my fingers - my car is scheduled to be built tomorrow - then about 4 weeks getting it to Sweden..... can't wait  

 

Almost time to book some time on a track to learn the 4x4 in slippery conditions 

asked the dealer today if the dates for my car was as stated earlyer. the week for the build was as planned(Next week)
the date for the delivery at the dealer was suddently two more weeks than before. now i have to wait until second week of october.
5 weeks to transport the car and make it ready for delivery is .... 5 weeks :no:

ordered 13 of july. so that would make it around 3 months.

Mine was built 29th July, at Emden on 10th August, then at my dealer 23rd. Getting it on the 1st.

I ordered 26th June, not heard anything yet but hopefully will soon then. 5 weeks to get it to Belfast then? Oh well, at least the end is in sight!

The Emden ferry docked in Dublin today so it should have a fair few cars on it. Mine is on it according to my dealer

Good to hear

Still waiting to get my collection date, if it's not next week the it will have to be after the 12th of September.

But I'm not in a rush to get mine as much as I've changed my holiday plans now.

Just got really good news today - the systems wasn't updated last week, so the builddate I got was wrong. My new ride left the factory 25/8 .... now I just have to wait 3-4 weeks for delivery.

 

Anybody know which route/car-carriers the cars travel for Malmö/Scania ? 

Ordered mine 28th June, just had confirmation from Skoda it's being built Thursday/Friday this week.

Ordered my vRS Estate on 21st August, been quoted 10th November.......

Approx 12 weeks.

Spoke with my dealer today, I should have mine on Monday 7th. I ordered on June 6th, so 3 months pretty much.     

Ordered vRS estate July 17th, build week 37 (next week?). Fingers crossed ready for trip to Germany mid October.

*crossing fingers* - can see Schelde Highway is scheduled to arrive in Malmö port 8/9 after a detour via Grimsby .... hope it brings some good stuff for me (and a quick delivery to my dealer at the other side of town) :-)

just got an email from the dealer that my car was build this week  (as planned) and is on it's Journey from the factory to Norway :clap:
