I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

That's good news then too (obviously mine isn't showing up yet either).

Agree mate. I'm waiting on my white 162 R line (April), noticed the poor backing plates so decided to get custom plate brackets and covers (front and back) via Lakin Plates... highly recommend contacting Phil the owner.

Already worded up the dealer etc.

The VINs are now trackable - looks like there are 673 Tiguans on board!

YES!!!! Mine is on there too :)

Thanks for keeping me up to date. I had been checking the tracking site every day but was starting to fear that mine would be delayed again for some reason. The ETA for mine to Port Kembla is 17-03-2017. Hopefully they can clear it from the terminal pretty quickly and the dealer can get it to me by the end of March.

No problems - I was fearing the same. I too am hoping for a quick delivery as my birthday is on the 28th March. Fingers crossed.

Nice. I just tracked the vessel and it's currently just off the coast of Spain.

I used this site: https://www.marinetraffic.com, just search for undine and then select Undine (vehicles carrier [SE])

Guys I just picked up my Tiguan yesterday. Top of the range, absolutely everything on it. This car cost me $64k right. My mums car, a 2014 BMW X5 that costs $137,000 and that's only a mid-range engine with a few options on it. Optional Dynamic LED Headlights with high beam assist. Optional Adaptive cruise control. Automatic parking which can be found on Tiguans, not standard on this huge X5. Optional Harman Kardon sound system. Optional Sunroof. Optional M Sport package with air suspension.

Basically......most of this stuff is available on the Tiguan also for only $64k. And you got everything you need.

The Tiguan drives amazing. It's gonna take me a bit to get used to the DSG cause my driveway is very steep and it still falls back regardless of the improvements they made. I used to have a DSG VW caddy for work. Now this is a Petrol DSG so it's different to what I was used to anyway.

The suspension in comfort beats my mums X5!!! My mums X5 in comfort fills like a boat on the sea [emoji23] The Tiguan sits really well on the road in comfort. Sports mode....haven't tried yet. Owners manual says to go easy on the car first 1,500kms.

Will post some more thoughts as I drive it more. Yesterday was so overwhelming I can't even think straight. I'm at work now with the Amarok and my thoughts are in my garage with my Tiguan [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] ahhhh I love that car.

Thanks for sharing the link Gladbach!

You may be able to see your ETA improve by a few days if Undine is alike the Talisman ...

Talisman looked like it was behind schedule when leaving Bremerhaven.
By the time left Southampton,UK it was scheduled to arrive melbourne 21feb,
now according to your site it is crossing the Great Australian Bight and it will arrive 18feb 3pm! :banana::banana::banana:
