Coal Burner FTW!
Well from the latest posts it looks like the Audi tracker system is hmm..... amazing at being inaccurate!!
Just waiting for the call myself!Despite the tracker still showing "left Ingolstadt", the dealer has just sent me a video of the car in their compound. Still in its "wrapper", but seems to be in one piece. Even got the new 17 plate number. A bit excited now....you'd think I'd be over that sort of thing at my age!
So this morning my S4 Avant is now in the paint shop.. any ideas how long from paint shop to at the dealers.. my sales man is going on holiday on the 7th April for two weeks and I'm praying it's here before he goes away!!
Cheers Shaun,I am picking both cars up today a new A1 and S4, when the S4 was being built the status was in prep one day then straight into QA control, this is not down to them being super quick at building but more like lag in the system.
I was tracking the A1 at the same time and its progression was steady, basically every day in moved to the next part of the process. So it took 1 day for paint on our tracker.
From the time they stated in left the factory to it arriving in the UK was just under 2 weeks, then from the port to the dealer was about 3 days.
The same applied to both cars regarding timescales.
Regards
Shaun
I haven't posted here for years. Used to have an A4 sline 2.0TDI 170 back in 2007. Vowed never again as the ride was so poor. Anyway, 10 years on and I have ordered an A4 Allroad Sport 3.0TDI 218. Original order placed 12.1.2017 and still at status 00 on the tracker. I am hoping for May/June delivery. I would expect to see some progress fairly soon on the tracker.

I ordered on 07.01.17, it took a week to show my order on the tracker, initially the build week jumped around a bit
but then nothing until last week when it moved to preparation ( 2 weeks before the build date 03.04.16 BW14)
I though the tracker would be a great idea, but found it best not to look as I found it even more frustrating, excepting it to move...like watching paint dry.
Nice order, do you have a provisional build week a yet?
I've also ordered the same car! I originally placed my order on 18/11/16 and was quoted a 14-16 week delivery date. Fast forward a few months and my unconfirmed build date is 08/05/2017. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. My Golf R was also a 6 month wait, which I slightly understood due to demand & the slightly rarer nature of the car. I'm currently in talks to make sure Audi cover the cost of the increased VED - as their delivery estimate is so far off the original quote - I should have had my car in February.
Good choice! Assuming your BW doesn't change then that will be 7 months. Current car GTD was 4 months. Nothing will top the 9 months I waited for a Tiguan. Good luck with the negotiations.
It arrived at Emden on 19th and was released for shipping 21st March. Was on a boat as of this morningHow long did it spend at the ports??
I ordered 16/3 and just got a build date confirmed on 7/4. Build week 22, tracker says 29th May to start construction. Got my order number on 28/3 and it was on the tracker then.
order number appearing in yourAudi?
Try filling in all your personal details under where it says Hi <your name> top right corner. Also when you add the order number and postcode, check the "My company placed the order" button and enter the name of your dealer, Synter/Lookers/Motorline etc. This worked for me.
Thanks Jim - so looks like I'm about 2 weeks after you then if all goes to plan. Very aware that it doesn't work in a linear way like that though, so who knows when it will turn up. What have you got coming?
Thanks Phil - hasn't worked unfortunately; will wait and see this week and give the dealer a bell next week if nothing changes.
Well done, sounds like you've gotten a sweet deal there, that'll be 10 weeks from order to delivery if the slot is kept, right?After the comments in this thread about the tracker not working, slow to upload the order etc, I can happily say that my order placed on 7 April has this morning appeared on the tracker and I am surprised and elated at the information it shows. I walked out of the dealers with a BW 24 estimate (12 June), the tracker is showing that my S4 Avant is expected to begin construction on 8th May, BW 19!! Now the anxious wait hoping it does not slip.
