RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

This is my first post on the forum, I thought I would vent lol, I can’t believe how many people have been left hanging for delivery info it’s my first Audi performance purchase and got to say how disappointed the whole experience has been so far , I ordered in sept 21 , Tango red sb carbon black with every option available in uk , after a long wait I had a build week of 37 2022 then that went to 00 now got build week 22 in 2023 so will be nearly 2 years of waiting for delivery
To date that's the worst case scenario that I have heard of on here mate hopefully it'll improve as the year/years go on
 
Same time as myself I've had 4 build weeks...so far 47...49...09 now 12
I know it’s a joke , I’ve only been given one previous build week and now nearly another year to wait , they have definitely mucked you about with all those dates originally it would have been due next month

If your build does remain as it is it'll be a MY24 model and with a bit luck it'll come with some interior revisions a plus point for the wait

It would be good if they added design pack lol

As my car is allegedly going to be complete and heading over in the next while (I'll believe it when I see it) I asked about the £500 discount for the loss of the 360 camera option. Rather interestingly, the broker came back to me saying that the dealership have stated they'll have to wait and see what it comes with before any discounts are applied. I doubt it, but part of me wonders if some of the cancelled features will start to randomly filter through like the wireless charging that appeared on another members car recently. Probably wishful thinking / the dealer not knowing what the scoop is.

I think Audi will never deliver and cancel orders placed at launch and ask you to re-order. I have lost count of how many build weeks I have had only to be told I don't have one now so yes it could be over two years for me as well.

You should have been informed or your broker should have been informed about the deletion/price decrease as this took place roughly about mid/end of September i was informed of this a week or so after l ordered start of October
 
Yes, the opening of the books for the rest of the world will have a huge impact on available parts. Like UK they may get the first batch of cars being delivered as a sweetener and then crawl to a stop.
Just checked, the spreadsheet, @Inspector71 currently has BW 2237 for exact same spec car, which was ordered later than yours, so may be this may be pushed back to 2322, not unless another factor in the batching is at play.
If you are willing, can add you to the spreadsheet, which may give a glint of what is happening in the batching.
I saw a post on one of the Facebook RS3 groups from a guy in South Africa this week who ordered a Tango Red RS3 at the end of January. It’s built, shipped and arrived in the country. Audi most definitely not playing with a straight deck.

I've bought my X5 40d new in 2010 and it's a car that we will replace in a few years time. And because I keep my cars I tend to go heavy on the spec. But reading about some of the experiences of you guys/gals here really puts me off dealing with Audi on something like an RSQ8. I can see why brokers do so well with them.

I was in same posistion, I asked for price remaining and they had not removed it. I said to them why it wasn’t removed or if the 360 cam had been specced (knowing it fine wasn’t). Never expected much and they just replied, “that’s it updated and the £500 removed”

yes great the done that but we’re they just hoping I’d not notice or know about this and bag themselfs a free £500??

wonder how many other dealers have done this!

anyway, car is with them and getting videos sent over

Yeah, it's not great that the customer has to know about the price reduction and prompt the dealer.

I was more just hopeful that the 360 cameras might somehow make an appearance given a wireless charger appeared on a members car if I remember rightly.

Possibly, the dealers and Audi UK are hoping no one will query and have forgotten what they ordered.
 
Just had an update, now 5022, thats our third 40 - 45 - now 50, should get a 2023 slot next month :tonguewink:

In a bizarre twist, received an email this morning that not only has my car been built, its at the dealer and is ready for delivery as soon as 1st Sept. Registered already as a 72 plate, which is nice.

Terrible comms is not a surprise, i even emailed Audi a few weeks ago and they told me there was no news on the car which turns out to have been complete ********.

Anyway, car is here and will be delivered on 1st.

That's awesome news! I'm hoping that mine has actually appeared too since we both ordered Vorsprungs around the same time with Lincoln Audi (although I was through a broker), but I'm not holding my breath. Congrats for yours actually appearing though, you must be excited for collection.

Mine was through military broker via Lincoln Audi, so it’s the broker that’s been the blocker when trying to get news on the car.

Good new, your car is now at the dealers. Hope a few more members who placed their order for Vorsprung when the books opened gets flushed out.

Mine was through MSC as well actually. Fingers crossed that it's landed and they haven't told me yet.

I messaged asking for the plastic protection to be left on for transport to me and the plates to be left off, so hopefully that'll spur some sort of communication with the dealer and I'll also get a positive update.
 
@RS03???

Dealer emailed me last week, build moved back 4 weeks to week 40 of 22. I'll chase up this week again I think see if its still there.

Never say Never l spoke with my sales guy a few months ago....and l asked the question could Audi cancel my order......he said not likely but they do reserve the right to cancel if the production run of the car ends....the RS3 8Y and previous RS3's models have all had a certain amount of production time/run....then nowt for about 9/10 months then it receives a facelift normally after the A3's are face lifted

It's a Vertu dealer and I have had nothing but a bad attitude from their VW branch in Hereford, after having three new cars from them I said I would never go back. I wish I had gone with Tetbury Audi they have been honest about build times.

I’ve had three Golf’s from Hereford and all has been good until the last one where they (in my opinion) washed it with a Brillo pad! Dave in parts has always been great at getting parts and keeping me informed as to status etc.
 
Maybeez......was the A3 not released on a 70 plate?

70 plate yes so if it follows the 8V pattern then facelift 2023 as the 8V was 2013 then FL in 2016 for the standard car, the FL RS came in 17.

Could be the same this time too, especially as they are so behind with orders.

so some of members maybe get facelift pack
 
Interested what exclusive paint colours people have gone for on here. I know a few have been mentioned but there are 81 pages of posts haha. Anyone else waiting for Merlin? Just curious.
 
Morning All,
Summary of status:
@Stratts , @billymc92 , @Daggerit should be collecting their Vorsprung Sportsback with the 72 numberplates in September. Congrats.
@K44WMY is in build so may be in luck to collect in September as well.
Few BW shuffling for Vorsprungs and Carbon,
strangely, @boardlord's Standard spec is also drifting to the right, as the Standard spec previously used to squeeze early through the stack.
Few weeks ago, read that order books for RS3 is being closed, possibly for the FL version in 2023, so what are the chances of RS3s scheduled for BW in late 2023 joining the FL A3's if the internals are the same.
Anyhow..
