Welcome @DrMalMy first post on the forum, so please be gentle with me!
I have a 3-door S3 on order through Kings Lynn Audi, build week was week 46 and it's progressed remarkably smoothly up to now, until it arrived in Grimsby. I can't collect until 23 December (!) when I head down to East Anglia to see my folks for Christmas, so I wonder if it'll sit there for a few weeks, presumably because the dealer has to pay for it as soon as they take delivery? Manufacturing build phases below:

I've just scrapped our 15 year old car, so I'm car-less for a month which isn't too big a problem in Edinburgh, but I can't wait to get my hands on it. In the meantime, I'm having to make do with YouTube videos and reading the manuals (when I can find them online). Does anyone have a link to the Virtual Cockpit user manual? Looking forward to running it in on the drive back North at New Year.
Check out Pages 5 & 94 where there's some good helpful posts.Where do you get the status code from? Mine says its on the way to the U.K. on myAudi but thats all. Apologies as i'm sure its somewhere in this thread but up to 435 pages now.

If yourAudi is to be believed (some of the dates are a bit weird on mine), mine's less than 12 days, so there's more hope for you guys Maybe there's a pre-end-of-quarter ramp up in production? Mine was scheduled for build week 48, but according to the below got produced at the end of week 47, put on the African Highway ship on the Saturday, which arrived on the Sunday morning.
Yours is exactly the same as mine. I spoke to my dealer today and they can't give me a date yet. Any news on your delivery date? Cheera
Thanks Audi Bairn. Yes, it's a good 400-ish miles back from where my folks live in Suffolk back to Edinburgh, but it'll be a good opportunity to run it in and get used to driving it. I used online brokers to find a couple of dealerships who were clearly looking to hit their sales targets in September, then played one off against the other. It was a fluke that the best price was from Kings Lynn, but with delivery in December it actually works out pretty well.Welcome @DrMal
Plenty of fellow Scots on here.
Friendly forum with a good bit banter thrown in.
More info about your car would be good.
That's some first drive, must be one of the furthest for owners in the U.K.
Just a pity you've got a long wait, but it'll definitely be worth it.

You asked about specs. Well, when I worked in automotive I was head of system and software safety for one of Bosch's competitors, so I have a healthy suspicion for driver aids! In fact, Volvo did some research that showed that some of the assistance systems make a driver less attentive. Anyway, as a result, the options are a bit limited. On 23rd we'll be collecting:
3-door S-Tronic in Navarre blue
Without model designation
Auto-dim RVM+Light/Rain Sensor
Technology pack advanced (mainly for the virtual cockpit)
High-beam assist
Audi Parking System Plus
Auto-dimming rear-view mirror
Door mirrors- Heated/Dimming/Folding
Planning on getting it detailed at Mint Car Care when I get back. Had hoped to get it done before the journey back, but it's too close to Christmas to get it sorted.
That ties-in with what my dealer told me today. They're expecting delivery next week, at which point the two weeks I'm going to have to wait until we collect the car is going to be painful. At least the complimentary five day Audi insurance is arranged which will get me past Boxing Day.Just as an FYI, any of you guys waiting for your car to be delivered, my guy just told me that Audi UK sent out a memo to say that any cars that make their way to U.K. Port from now until Christmas will be delivered to dealer in no more than 7 days. So get onto your dealers guys and hassle!!
The only thing I can see holding mine up then is the shipping from Germany to UK, I really do hope I will get my car before the new year, that would be just fantastic for me
Yeh if that happens to mine then no chance of me getting it this year, so just major fingers crossed if it goes to panel tomorrow!!
Anyone recommend a provider of GAP insurance? Do you arrange it before delivery, or just afterwards?
Signed for the car today and retained my plate! Dealership has said the retention must go on the new one within 3days but considering the car is still at port it isnt great news from that side! Soon as the car hits newport prep itl be here within 24 hours so im hopeful for a monday pickup, if not monday looking at end of next week!!
Uk Ports! Why its sat there since 22nd! That could be the only hold up for you guys looking forward to a xmas delivery ! Good luck all!
FYI
I'm sure the salesman gets notified every time the video is watched! A citnow video was posted over on BabyBMW sure the OP said the salesman got hundreds of notifications lol.
Also ordered 19th september, they haven't even started building it yet! LolPhone call this morning, paperwork at lunchtime, collection tomorrow.
Order on the 19th September so about 10 weeks in all. Longest bit (or perhaps more the bit I was the most impatient during!) transport from Germany to the dealer.
Nice one mate.
Why must h plate go on within 3 days? I don't understand this. If you've registered the new car with its "normal" plate and your private plate is on retention then you have up to a year before applying it to a car or renewing the retention.
Also ordered 19th september, they haven't even started building it yet! Lol
How come?
I ordered mine 10th Sept and have had my car almost 2 weeks
Same as me mate hopefully Billy is too for the Hatrick!!
