My car has been on a train to the port, since last Friday.

Does Southern Rail run a franchise in Germany?

Could just as easily be sat in Emden, rusting in the salty air, like mine probably is.

Well, since I have now taken delivery of my car, I shall take my leave of this thread full of anxiety, impatience, and wonderment. I leave all you newcomers with this advice;

- When looking for status indicators, go to page 5.

- The wait for the build and delivery only gets worse as you get closer, especially when you opt to delay delivery for a week or more (I waited an extra 10 days) to have your new paint machine polished and sealed under a ceramic coating. Worth it though.

Things starting to gain momentum with mine.
In Assembly now.
Still a long way to go but hopeful that mine will catch up with my wifes TT which is sitting at Emden trying to hitch a lift to the UK.

My s3 Just went into prep and its build isn't for 2 weeks yet!

Looks like Audi are WAY ahead of schedule!

My friend has an S3 and his build was a week late?


Although saying that he made some last minute changes

Just saying, typically they go to prep about 2 weeks before the build week, and it'll probably go to the first actual build stage, panel shop I think, 3 or 4 days before the build week Monday.

Picked my car up today. First impressions are great. 1.4 COD is more than capable and refined. Interior is spot on. VC is a brilliant bit of kit. Done 80 miles today and it was a pleasure.

So read your post and thought may as well have a check...also hit Status 39 (however tracker Status updated 1:07 16/10) so only 90mins or so ago.

If that's really the case then only 3days at Status 38 but build completion and in to transit from factory started 6/10.

Mines is still jumping between standard and Black Edition every other day but it's now moved back a week to build 48, 28th Nov. Did anyone else's build date move back while waiting?

Mine was 8 days from starting prep to in transit. That's pretty quick isn't it?

Pretty standard I'd say, it's the next bit that takes the time.

Well 4 days later and it's on a ship.

Is it possible to find out which one?
 
Car in QC now. Still possible that it could catch up with my wife's TT which has been on a train / at the port since last Tuesday.

There's a few links on this thread to vessel trackers provided by some of the guys and you can narrow down the ships travelling back and forward from Emden to the three UK ports used, but there's still a lot of guesswork involved. Many of the ships are called "[fill in the blank] Highway".
 
New poster here.

Very informative thread, although it's probably going to be another tool aiding my progression to insanity whilst waiting for the car to arrive.

I've ordered the facelift S3 saloon in Daytona Grey with red calipers, pano roof, privacy glass, tech pack with virtual cockpit and super sport seats as extras.

I've hit the "Your Audi has left Inglostadt" stage (as of Wednesday 12th) which I assume means it's waiting in Emden to be picked up. I can only see the 9 stages of production in my Audi account, how do you guys see the numbered statuses?

Ok thanks for the info. Too much effort for too little reward though. I'm sure it'll get to me eventually.

Status 40, so close I can taste it!

Likewise...have to say this shipping market really is pot luck - some have been stuck at the port for a couple of weeks whereas ours has moved along nicely from build to U.K.

Now just hope dealers get transport order sorted nice and quickly

This is happening so fast! I'm not due delivery until 21 Nov.
