I ordered a new S3 today, black edition, got a build week of 23 but got told will be a minimum of 6 months, is this realistic ?
Thank youWelcome to audi-sport.net Lisa. Car sounds nice. Hope you enjoy the forum
Congrats on your new car order.
Build / delivery all depends on if the dealer has orders on the system already, that they can change the spec of. Large group dealer usually have a few in the system anyway.
Daytona Grey is still one of Audi's best colours. Nearly ordered that myself on my S3.
You live on Jersey. Isn't the speed limit there 40 mph?
Thanks, yes they do go via UK first.
Congrats on the order Lisa.
Do cars heading to Jersey go direct or via a UK mainland port first? Wondering if that adds time?

The cars destined for the channel islands are loaded onto car carriers heading to Dublin.
Don’t the factory shut down at some point for like a month for maintenance to the robots and to set them for the next years model? Delay could have something to do with that.
It would kill me having to stick to 40mph in an S3
There’s not many places that you can go very fast. The long straight road along the west coast is a possibility but I think they have had some nasty accidents along there.The speed limit is 40mph............ but who says @Lisa. sticks to it

I find that once you get to Jersey you don’t want to speed - just soak up the calm.
What’s the emissions palava ?
'apparently' due to the VAG emissions scandal. Every conceivable variation of every car has to be tested. I don't know how true this is mind.What’s the emissions palava ?
Scroll down this thread a bit, something to do with the new standards test that the S3 & RS3’s haven’t passed yet

My S3 has left factory and by now ,is hopefully on a ship to Sheerness.
Its going to Sheerness, then I believe , from Portsmouth to Jersey, May take a while, but considering construction start date was supposed to be 21 May , it’s way ahead of scheduleYour car goes by train to the port of Emden where it joins the queue of cars waiting for a boat ride to England. Hopefully you'll get lucky and get on a boat quickly. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to get shipped over.
Status 39 comes when your car has been loaded on a boat and is on the way to England.
