Is that a 2.0tdi? Not down to tyres, the 190ps engines are a masterpiece.
Did Audi promise a date that hasn't been fulfilled? I want free motoring! I am currently carless.
Wanted my post to be as confusing as the delivery of my A3.... Car is stuck in Emden been there since the start of the month, so Audi just dropped this off this morning. Not bothered about my car now, I'll have a week or two of free motoring, just add fuel as it were.
Have to say I'm not keen on the screen stuck on the dash, bit of a poor cost cutting measure by Audi on that one. Also hill hold should be standard on s-tronic cars rather than penny pinching on a £75 option. Also the hankook tyres on it are rubbish, already had wheel spin and It's bone dry here
I used marinetraffic.com.
You can set up a free account and add 5 vessels which it will track for you. Its not very scientific but if you search for the port emden you can see whats expected in and what departures are due.
The vessels to watch are
City of St Petersburg (mine came over on this) This left for Grimsby a couple of hours ago - you may get lucky !
https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:411554/mmsi:353083000/vessel:CITY OF ST.PETERSBURG
Any of the 'Highway' fleet (thames, EMS, Makassar etc)
You're looking for any vehicle carrier vessels.
I hope you are not too busy at the moment because vessel watching can consume an enormous amount of time if you let it.
That'll be because it's FWD rather than solely the tyres. Mine did it all the time and it drove me up the wall. Couldn't wait to get back in a quattro.Also the hankook tyres on it are rubbish, already had wheel spin and It's bone dry here
https://www.vesselfinder.com/So I've had a look, what a complex website!!
So far I've only found two carriers, one headed to Grimsby now.... City of St Petersburg.
The second is Makassar which is sat in Emden.
I can't seem to find any others? Will keep looking. I'm using an iPad which isn't ideal, may jump on the Mac now. This is bad, I start work at 6am
My main reason for being up still is to refresh the tracker haha.

I used the first one, easy to use and clear enough
Damn that’s guttingComplain about it and get your money back? When it’s washed you should see clear effects of it beading etc and they very rarely do.
Lesson learnt I guess, sorry to be here with bad news.

rang dealers this morning and they said as within 28 days I could cancel but then id have to go in and change all the paperwork and direct debits as this will affect the monthly payments etc, I'm missing a lot of work at the moment as mum in hospital so I just said to them ok not to worry I will know for next time, but thanks for letting me know as I know I wont pay for this again
Yes it's a 2.0TDI but they really are poor tyres, when the A3 comes there is a new set of PS4's is waiting for it.
I still don't have a date for when the car is going on a boat, but I no longer care as it's now costing Audi to keep me in that car. I've already done 160 mile in it so it's keeping the miles of my A6, happy days.
My order has finally been added to youraudi today after I officially placed the order in my dealership on 4th October. I was told that given the build week they had secured, they were hoping I would receive the car prior to Christmas, but youraudi is telling me that my car isn't expected to begin construction until 4th December - looks likely that I won't see the car until 2018
I know that build dates can jump around and can sometimes be pulled forward, but apparently there is a 3 week shut down in November at Ingolstadt ? Does anyone know if this is correct and if so, what dates??
Collected and I love it
I know the question I'm going to ask is in the wrong thread but no has used the thread since feb so may never get answered, my question is
i don't want my twitter linked to the car, how do I stop this, is there a way? I have so many questions re the car but the other threads seem dead
I will have a look at vessel finder tonight. I’ve somewhat found my way around marine traffic now, I’m following 3 ships and two of which are in Emden.
Does anyone know what the “Immingham” port is? Because it’s right next to Grimsby?..
not sure wether mine is set up or not but just don't want it connected, the other question, is, when I turn off the engine the interior lights don't come on, only if I open the door, all other cars ive owned (not audis) when you stop the engine or take keys out the interiors lights work, thanks chris43 for asking for my next question
Immingham Port and Grimsby Port are different areas on the Humber estuary, according to Wikipedia both are used for car import / export
If you add to the older threads they'll reappear and will likely get answered. Don't worry if they're older threads. It get boring when the same old ones keep appearing anyway lolI know the question I'm going to ask is in the wrong thread but no has used the thread since feb so may never get answered, my question is

I'll need to check now. I thought they came on when you took the key out of the ignition but maybe that was my last car.I'm afraid you are stuck with the interior light nonsense. My MK7 Golf was just the same, nothing until you open the door. I too find it annoying. I wish it would kill the music as well. Hopefully someone will read this and prove me wrong....
My Mk6 Golf worked as you'd think: Kill the ignition then all interior lights come on so you can gather up your phone etc before getting out.
Next Question?

My S3 has been waiting at Emden for about a fortnight, and I'm trying (and failing) to be patient. Can anyone help me out with what ports/ferries to look at for cars that are being delivered to Scotland?
that seems so long! sorry to say but then you’ve got to wait for it to get on a transporter and that’ll be another week if not morei think there’s only 3 main ports, none of which are that close to Scotland..

This is what I'm worried about. I'm supposed to be getting delivery in less than 3 weeks and it's creeping up fast! Seems like some people are having some luck getting info via live chat with Audi so I'll maybe have a go at that tomorrow.

.......my sales exec onto it and i had it 2 days later with a bottle of moët as a patience gift.. might get lucky with some champers
My car has been at Emden since the 30th (September) hoping for a crate of the stuff..... Saying that I've got a A5 loan car from Audi.
Cars to Scotland come into the Port of Tyne, vessel City or Rome should have gone to Emden this week, but due to issues at Gdansk it was delayed so is now sailing direct to the Tyne, and looking at arrivals there is nothing form Emden for the next 7 days http://www.portoftyne.co.uk/busines...ervices/shipping-movements/expected-shipping/
Live chat is useless they just give out an automated response. We aim to ship your car in 14 days blah, blah, blah....

Wow yeah just get onto your sales exec about it, should give you a “little” something.....
Well looking at the updated arrivals for the Tyne the next boat from Emden is the "CITY OF PARIS" however there is no guarantee your car will be on that ship, you will have to wait until the next day and see if the tracker updates, to 39.
Been on to the Sales exec that is why I have an A5 sat on my drive at the moment. I'm now looking to set a record the longest time a customers car has been sat at the docks, as the next boat does not leave until the 6th that will be 5 weeks.
Port of Tyne mate. Check their website for arrivals due from Emden then use a shipping tracker to track it.My S3 has been waiting at Emden for about a fortnight, and I'm trying (and failing) to be patient. Can anyone help me out with what ports/ferries to look at for cars that are being delivered to Scotland?
2 weeks ain't uncommon tbh. I've heard of 3 - 4 weeks but that would be the high end of wait times.that seems so long! sorry to say but then you’ve got to wait for it to get on a transporter and that’ll be another week if not morei think there’s only 3 main ports, none of which are that close to Scotland..
