Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

Last edited:
Sent off my finance docs with license as recorded delivery today. VWFS will receive these tomorrow;

How long after you have sent the finance docs have people got delivery dates etc?

Also has anyone received the £5k in there bank yet?

Cheers :)

I received and sent my finance docs on Tuesday. Paid deposit yesterday and car being delivered tomorrow morning.
The £5k was dealt with by dealer

In transit

February delivery starting to look possible.

On another note, insurance quotes for the 2.0/150 TFSI seem to be about £200 more per year for me than the previous 1.4/150 TFSI. Hmm...

Also can anyone remember the old emissions figures on the original spec engine? If I’m correct, it’ll cost me a little more to tax this one too.

Yes I have seen this, insurance up around £100 over the old 1.4 but I managed to haggle and saw most of this back
 
Just checked on my old A4 Avant order placed early April, it went into the panel shop today. Glad I jumped ship, probably wouldn't have seen it until March.
 
Paint shop today.
If yours goes the way that mine did then there’s a chance yours is actually already built, but then I’d imagine the tracker is now “live” as they were hiding some of the delays before. Fingers crossed you get yours soon
 
So finally after 9 long months I have taken delivery this morning. Pics to follow

Has anyone requested their cars to be de-badged ? (Ie removal of the A4 and the 35/40TFSI) ?

Also, for those who have received their vehicles, if you did request it, were they actually de-badged ?

I asked for mine to be debadged but haven't got the finance docs yet so still :( Hopefully it will come debadged but not the end of the world.
 
Absolutely stunning. Congrats mate, I've ordered same and after seeing this I'm well excited.

I had lost the excitement because of the wait but it’s beginning to return after seeing it and having a quick drive. You’ll be pleased I’m sure!

Wow. Exact same spec as mine, mine is the 40 TFSI. Looks a beauty! Did you get the audi decal stickers in the boot or glove box?

Yes mate, in the glove box.
 
Yes mate, in the glove box.

Interesting, my dealer advised me these stickers are not standard and i had to pay!

Will go back to them

Out of curiosity, how long after your tracker went to "in transit" did you have to wait?
 
So - after my delivery yesterday where I rejected the car due to a back end knock - it is possible I will get the car back today.

Seems there is a common issue of rear suspension 'bump stops' requiring re-seating after the car is transported. Fingers crossed, this is the reason - anything more fundamental and I will not be happy.

Advice to all - take the car for a quick drive before accepting it. Audi really do need to up their game when it comes to performing thorough PDI's!!!!

Not getting it anyway now - got an A6 Avant just before Christmas.

I can’t remember exactly but was in transit around mid December and arrived at port before Christmas. Was at dealer very early Jan

Fingers crossed, you deserve a break...

Car on its way to me now - believe it was the bump stop issue. But have been assured it has been thoroughly checked from end to end! We shall see.

I have asked for my car to be rebadged.

However my expectations have once again been dashed. No paperwork today after being promised. However I cling to the vain hope that today is not over.
 
Car delivery next week Thursday!

Just got my documents!!!!

Just seen the Intial payment rise significantly.
But that’s going to transferred to my account.

Anyone who got it on lease, who did you send your license to ? To Audi or lease company ?

Who is your dealer ?
They are literally simple stickers and for them to suggest charging for them is ridiculous

Ok so i contact my dealers and advised they 100% come with the car, they kept saying they dont, they went to check for me and would you look at that? There they were in the glovebox!!! They will put them on for me when they deliver my car on Thursday

Do you mean the model and engine details ?
For me the de badge is preferred personally
