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;
