Did you check with VW live chat/dealership? They said build date should be confirmed within 2-3 weeks of factory order being accepted
Build week isn't confirmed until about 4 weeks before it is actually built. It is at that point that modification to the order cannot be made and VW has secured/allocated all parts required to your order.

You're right. Sorry, what I mean to say was an estimated build date should be given within 2-3 weeks after factory accepts order. It's then only confirmed 4 weeks before.

Currently there is one ship in Emden with no destination as yet but usually does the Grimsby trip and sometimes goes on to Tyne afterwards.

Nice. Do you know if this was a full on factory order (mine was) or whether your dealer already had one on back order that was allocated to you ? Our order went in a couple weeks after yours, and it’s going to be at least week 40 before it goes into assembly, if not later.

Indeed, lucky so and so. News reports from the last few days say that semi-conductor shortages were exacerbated by Covid causing factories in Malaysia to close down, and although other areas, like Taiwan, are trying to ramp production there will be shortages for some time to come. VW think things may improve in the next quarter (Oct-Dec?) and "hope" to get back to normal "some time" in 2022. We ordered 8th Aug and expecting a call from the dealer soon with an update, but I suspect they won't want to proactively ring with bad news! Still, they said Jan 22, hopefully Dec 21 when we ordered so there's still some time to go yet.

How are you checking this?

How long does it normally en-route to UK?

The Marine Traffic website. This should show Emden port and The City of Rotterdam is the ship that frequently ships to Grimsby and Tyne, https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/ho ... 39/zoom:15
The running of ships has slowed down a lot over the last few weeks. Many of the ships that make the journey from Emden to the UK are eithered moored up at the last port and at anchor. I have never seen it so quiet.
The Ems Highway is due to dock at Grimsby at 20.30 tonight.
The time to cross is around 24 hours but sometimes depending on tide it takes a little longer to dock.
When my Tiguan was shipped over 3 years ago it sat in the Humber Estuary for 2 days as it was too windy to dock.

But how do you know the names of the ships that VW uses?

I tracked my Ioniq a while back and there was a website which showed shipping schedules for the shipping company Hyundai used. It took nearly 2 months to get to the UK!

Over time you get to know them. They use "Highway" such as Ems, Weser, Isar, Neckar Highway mainly for Grimsby. The larger "Highway" ships like Thames and Malacca Highway are used to go into Sheerness and the City of Oslo, Rotterdam and St Petersburg run to Grimsby and Tyne.
There are the odd few other ships used also.

Don't.forget City of Rome and City of Paris for Tyne. They're very regular - Leave Emden with VAG cars, head to Tyne (often directly), drop them off, pick up Sunderland built Nissans, take them up to Helsinki, Back to Tyne, pick up more Nissans, take them to Amsterdam/Ijmuiden, back to Emden for more VAGs.

Turnaround at Tyne Dock is very quick to get cars Customs released and to the local Lookers/Pulman dealerships.

I see the City of Rotterdam has actually just left Emden for Grimsby.

It was a factory order, got the order number about a week after ordering. Seems likely it was an unallocated car dealer already had on order given the speed with which it seems to be coming through compared to others who ordered at the same time.

Hi all

Placed an order for Tour Pro S in Moonstone on 9th September and currently being told will be early March 2022 for delivery, no confirmed dates just what dealership is advising. Question, are others being told minimum of 6 months and if so is this accurate or are they coming earlier/later?

Many thanks Zobware

Spoke to the live chat yesterday and still no build week confirmation. Little bit concerned because my dealer had said build week 40 was the preliminary date, but obviously it would be confirmed now for week 40..

Same convo with dealer he advised factory confirmation is 4 weeks ahead of actual build, usually updated on a Monday. This week is week 35. So confirmation should be on Monday for a wk40.... fingers crossed!

Current calendar week is 36 and people who had confirmation last Friday were for build week 39. Unless the factory doesn’t count the first calendar week?

Fingers crossed indeed! Getting a little impatient now, want rid of my current car ASAP. :D

Do you have an estimated build week? How long after did people get their estimated build weeks?

Order confirmed week 34 and given an estimated delivery date of week 4 2022.
