It should be on the vehicle data sticker which should be stuck on the inside cover of the service manual. If not there should be one stuck in the boot under the carpet/floor, from memory that is where it was in my Golf and should be the same for the Tig but not looked for mine yet.

Should something look like this:

It's pretty hard waiting for my new car to come! I'm still about 5 weeks away from grabbing those keys and starting it up for the first time!

In the meantime, I get excited every time I see a Tiguan when I'm out and about. Today, for the first time, I saw the EXACT car that I'm waiting on. A white 162TSI with R-Line pack, DAP and sunroof, parked in Leichhardt (Rofe St - let me know if this belongs to anyone on this forum!). It looked absolutely amazing, better than I remembered (have seen one similar, but not with the sunroof). I'm so happy with the purchase, seeing it today made me have absolutely no regrets with my choice. My wife even commented about how nice it looked and that she can't wait to get ours.

Mine (along with hcvo1's) is on the UNDINE, which will dock at Port Elizabeth in Wednesday, before continuing it's journey to Australia, arriving in Sydney (Port Kemlba) on 17th March, a few days after it's departure from Melbourne.

A white 162TSI with R-Line pack, DAP and sunroof... It looked absolutely amazing.

I'm jealous. I stupidly ordered one without R-Line because I wasn't interested in 20-inch alloys, adjustable dampers or progressive steering. What I didn't realise was that without R-Line, the Tig has that cheap looking black 'skirting' rather than it being colour-matched. I've only just noticed that pretty much every pic I've ever seen was of the R-Line. D'oh!

hcvo1, even your earlier post indicates that it takes about a month from handover to production to exiting the production plant. I'm not sure how long it takes to actually build the car, but the whole production plant process takes a lot longer than a few days. It then has to be railed from Wolfsburg to Bremerhaven and wait to get loaded on the vessel.

This reminded me of my trip to Germany last June. Tiguans as far as the eye could see!



My partner has a 140TDI Highline on order. Caribbean Blue with all option minus R-Line pack - not keen on the 20 inch alloys on an SUV. Our X5 has staggered 20 inch wheels and although they look great they ruin any rough road ability and its constantly twitchy at highway speeds.

Delivery should be early April. I think I am more excited as I want my Passat back! I have had the V8 Beemer since we moved closer to my workplace... I'll just say 15.5L/100km and leave it there

Here you go. Sorry to rub it in. But I have to say I'm very impressed with the way it rides and handles even on 20s. I was also quite sceptical at first when I ordered it due to the tire size. Very comfortable and soaks up the bumps very well.

Can't wait mate. The ship has been out of range for a while and let's hope that the pirates off the coast of Africa haven't got to it!

My wife saw a fully loaded white 162TSI r-line the other day and like yours commented on how nice it looks. She still thinks I am more obsessed about this car than out second baby due a week after the car docks in Melbourne.

Looks like I'll have 2 deliveries quite soon!

I hope for your sake they don't come on the same day. Otherwise it will be hard to explain to your wife why picking up the new car is more important

I've been trying everyday to track the ship. I had read elsewhere that they often go for days on end without being tracked so I was prepared for that. But it still makes me a bit nervous! Hehe.

[Delewin]

Yes free tracking is always delayed. They want to push you into subscribing to their service. But when the ship reaches its next stop it is always spot on.
