A couple hours parking at Union Square!
Had my radio, any music at all stop working this morning! The volume just wouldn't turn up funny though because the sat nav voice worked fine? Rang Audi and they tried to talk me through a possible fix but in typical fashion it worked when I turned it back on!
Sorry, but have to ask... What's up with the march 1st registration in UK? Some taxation issue or what? I'm supposed to collect mine next week and wouldn't even consider waiting that long!
I dont think I could wait 1 1/2 months for a car knowing it was at the dealership.
I couldnt even be bothered to wait for a 2014 registered 63 plate, I didnt want to miss out on the chance of two weeks driving in December.
Mines arrived in Aberdeen apparently, will get it 1st March unless the snow persists here in the alps and we will come back in April....
Just had confirmation from my dealer that Audi UK have confirmed that No S3 Logo on the key or Brushed Metal footrest - They will get it amended in the next brochure
This is despite Audi UK confirming that the footrest will be metal by the time my Build Week of 5 arrives (This was in November)
So what do you guys think is a fair compensation(from Audi UK not my dealer as it's not their fault) - I know it's only a couple of little things but it's been in every brochure so far and it's been brought to their attention for some time now and I was told I would get it (didn't have my hopes up to be honest)

Compensation Culture!!!
There is a note on the back page of the Pricing and Specification Guide which reads "Specification and prices are subject to change without notice". This seems to be exactly what has happened.
That sucks, mate. Your car is ruined now. It's a piece if rubbish and you haven't even received it yet.
Vale.
Maybe write a letter to Audi UK expressing your disappointment in them especially as you took the time and trouble to clarify the detail before ordering. You never know they may come back with some kind of softener to reflect their **** up! Good luck!
No Estoril!!!
Just had a call from the dealer to say the factory is not going to make any more Estoril for any car full stop, Sepang is the same!! I'm gutted as was looking forward to it and no sure replacement means I now need to choose another colour!

Any other colour changes? What are you going to go for?
There was an issue with some colour supplies after the Japanese nucleur incident in 2011, Deep Sea Blue was a casualty then. Not sure what the issues are now but I would suspect it is possibly an issue with matching and repairs. When there are inconsistent supplies of the pearlescent 'bits' in the paint matching is a pain. I am no expert but neighbour is a paint chemist and he advised me, he works for Axa Nobel (in China) currently.
So where does that leave current and prospective owners who require estoril blue for repairs and touch ups Pilot? What would an Audi approved paint repair shop do in this situation?
WTF! Are they winding you up? Why? What's the issue? You've placed your order, they're fault not yours! get them to reimburse the amount for an S3 exclusive colour and go Panther?
No wind up. My dealer just called and said that the factory (or someone from Audi headquarters) had called Audi UK who had now passed this on. I think if you had a Jan build date you are OK, but after that, no chance. I didn't get a specific reason but I get the feeling it was manufacturing challenges, perhaps too difficult to maintain constant colour? I asked about Sepang, thinking I might get that exclusive paint as replacement but apprently thats being discontinued too. I don't know which way to go with colour really, as hadn't thought it would happen. If I had to make a decision immediately it would probably be a black, although haven't looked at which I favour.
Very gutted as you kind of set your heart on these things, and imagine your car rocking up looking a certain way, but hey these things happen. I do worry a bit for current Estoril owners, as if its a manufacturing issue, they might struggle to get decent repairs done and colour matched I guess. I have to call back soon with my new colour so will dig deeper then on the reason....
Oh dear Joe... All I can say is Phantom looks great and is really practical and our 'touch up' is from our first PB in 2006 so huge cash saving there. I do quite like Panther when it looks black and twinkly but other times it looks a lot duller than Phantom and assumes a Browny/purple tinge.. All down to personal taste I suppose but my vote is Phantom!! Hope you wont be telling me that's being discontinued too!!
My build date is week 6, 3rd February. I wonder if my Estoril blue will no longer be built?
