just got a build date for my S3 SB, week 19, w/c 4th May. after placing the order on 23rd March.. so Just wondering how that ties in with other that ordered around the same time? and what are the guesses for delivery? early June

Ordered my 2.0TDI S Line Sportback last week of Jan, build time was pretty quick but shipping has been over two weeks already! Have contacted Audi and been told another 10 days at least. Would be easier to collect in person!

The cars get transported to belgium from germany then put on a ship to grimsby where they are unloaded and kept on the dock side waiting to be shipped off round the uk...
I ordered mine from grimsby audi so when it arrives in port they send a driver to collect it... If you live elsewhere in the uk then you could have an extra week to wait before being sent on a transporter.
My build week is this week so should be with me within 2 or 3 weeks
I've just noticed Liam that we have basically got the exact same car on order, ha ha.
:thumbsup:Haha, you must be a man of impeccable qualities.
I think it depends on the ultimate destination. It could well be Margate for the South and South West, but it's Immingham for the Midlands and North.I was told they where shipped from Holland to Margate.

If you look at Bremerhaven on Google Earth you will find a huge depot full of Audi's waiting to go somewhere, but of course that could be almost anywhere in the world including the US.
When I last had a tour of the Ingolstadt plant the guide told me that at that time Audi were shipping to the UK from Bremerhaven but that was in 2003 so things may well have changed.
Got my delivery date today after speaking to three different people. A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI arrives in the country tomorrow and due for collection end of next week (nearly 13 weeks in total). I have not been contacted by dealers once during that time!!!, no order confirmation, build date, delivery progress, absolutely nothing!! When I rang today I was told good news the car is arriving tomorrrow! I felt like saying keep it. Sorry for the rant guys but the lack of customer service has really taken the gloss off the purchase. I just hope its worth it when i start her up.
google earth is quite old though i dont think that means much i could still see my ford mondeo on my dads front so i wonder how long is it before there updated.......
I just got confirmation that my S3 will be built in week 19 also. :thumbsup:
Takes a bit longer to ship a car down under though.
I've put my car back a couple of weeks to allow for MY10 build. I've done this get the updated Nav, which my local dealer says will include AMI as well.
They're saying MY10 will start from build week 22, so hopefully I've only cost myself a few weeks. Just have to wait for confirmation of build week again.
Thanks for that Mark. I emailed my dealer yesterday & all i got back from him today was that he would update me on Monday!!!!

Here is the link Mark for the paint protection film company. I got it applied to my current S3 & its works a treat with no stone chips or anything. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes to keep their car in top condition. I'm not sure of the exact cost as i got a deal for doing the paint protection film & tinting the windows. The company i delt with is called Tinthaus & they have been fantastic from day one.
I hope this helps.
Thanks, Brucer
