Typically the day of production you've been allocated will be the day you're in quality control or ready to leave the factory

You get calls from your dealer? I haven't spoken to mine since I ordered it I suspect he's going to tell you that your at the UK port (as I just checked) and the good news is that it's arrived at Sheerness which is the closest port for us both!

Naps - exactly as you described - and also should be ready for collection 3rd week of this month .... so when I told him I need it 1st week of June - he said something about this months figures .... told him not my problem, 1st week of June !!

Now need to start looking @ GAP insurance/dash cams/tracker being fitted by my chap in between delivery to dealership and me collecting.
 
Just asked Audi UK on fbook and they have told me the following:

"Hi, We can see that production of your vehicle is due to commence next week. Depending on the spec, a new car can take up to ten days to build"

Not sure what to beleive now! lol

I can only judge from what people have said on here and my own experiences, but it shouldn't take that long. It's probably just a standard 'It can take x days' to cover themselves from people moaning all the time.

Here is how long mine took;

"orderStatus": "40",
"deliveryDealerCode": "00378",
"orderHistory": [{
"orderStatus": "40",
"statusDate": "2017-05-04T10:57:29+0100"

}, {
"orderStatus": "10",
"statusDate": "2017-03-07T01:04:29+0000"

From panel shop to being ready to leave took mine 4 days. 13th till the 17th. I'm not sure if you know what the status' mean but if not, this is what they mean;

Order Status 00 - Welcome
Order Status 10 - Order Received
Order Status 20 - Preparation
Order Status 21 - Panel Shop
Order Status 22 - Paint Shop
Order Status 23 - Assembly
Order Status 24 - Quality Control
Order Status 30 - 'Your Audi has left factory'
Order status 38 - 'Your Audi is at port of exit (Emden)'
Order Status 39 - 'Your Audi is in the UK'
Order Status 40 - Ready for transport to the dealer
Order Status 60 - Left the UK Port on the way to the dealer
Order Status 70 - Arrived at dealer
 
My original build date was the 24th. An here's how mine panned out


Edit: Spoke to Audi CS apparently it's been at the port since the 28th. But can take 14 days to ship.

I am not sure Matt, i think they do work weekends though mate hence why our build is done by Monday.

Just not as many people work weekends probably LOL :tearsofjoy: how long is it in paint shop, 2 days?

Pretty sure they work weekends.

Also going by others tracking it looks like Paint shop is usually 2 days :)

Huh...I did the factory tour back in October and the guise said they do 24 hours a day but no weekends, unless that's changed

I know they do 24H/day, but I'm pretty certain no weekends. Germans laws would require too large worker compensation to work weekends for it to be worth it.

Get em told they can have some cash if they come in this weekend get some S3s finished

Was 13 day wait for me and now it's a wait from Sheerness port to the dealer. Oddly mine has to go on a transporter to Oxford's sister dealer in Newbury and then on another transporter to Oxford. First I've heard of this sort of nonsense

2 days at the port exit for me now but feels like longer :whistle2: don't know what I would've done if I'd had a 3-6 month wait. I'm used to buying nearly new cars which are already at the dealers so put a deposit down and collect a few days after!

Chaps/Chapesses,

So car landed in Sheerness yesterday ... just been notified car has been delivered to Dealership (Maidstone - so not a million miles away from the port)

So it has taken 98 days since order placed (amending an order already placed by the dealership Mid December 2016)


[{"orderNumber":"**********","orderStatus":"70","deliveryDealerCode":"00483","orderHistory":[{"orderStatus":"70","statusDate":"2017-05-05T11:55:23+0100"}

{"orderStatus":"10","statusDate":"2017-01-26T01:13:34+0000"}]


Now the agonizing wait till end of the month/1st week of June (will probably go with end of this month instead ,,,,) when I hand back the current car and can collect this one.

Identical. Asides from I didn't get the Hill Hold... :)

I reckon we'll be moving on the 12th. I hope it's before then, but CS said 14 days. :-(

But if it then just sits in Grimsby for two weeks that will be equally as frustrating!
