It’s great fun tracking the boat …… amazing information on the internet. Hope you car is on it. Out of interest, how long did it take from leaving the factory to being on the boat ?
wow …… 6 weeks. I have a bit of a wait then. Mine left the factory on Monday. Mine will be going to Port on TyneIt is. I’ve been watching boats in the hope it was on one of them since I was told it’s left the factory. It’s 6 weeks today since I was told. Dealer thinks it will be at the UK port tomorrow so may not be on the City of Rotterdam but I live in hope!
There is another coming to the UK today but that’s going to Shearness and I was told mine was going to Grimsby.
You maybe lucky. I think @Jaeger12 s came out of the factory after mine and he’s taken delivery.wow …… 6 weeks. I have a bit of a wait then. Mine left the factory on Monday. Mine will be going to Port on Tyne
Mine went from boat to dealership in 5 daysI’ve been told that I’m at status 39 on the boat. The only sailing from Emden to Grimsby was last night and due in at 9:30 this morning, it’s currently circling the port entrance so had a great run. Hopefully it was on that ship and I’ll collect next week
Just the £500 taken off the price for the 360 camera not being there.When I picked my car up last week the sales manager suggested that I contact Audi UK to ask if there is any compensation for the 18-month wait and missing features on the model. I had a £500 discount because I did not have a 360 camera. I have no rear USB ports. Audi UK has asked for my VIN and they are investigating has anyone else had any compensation?
Cheers Mukka!Glad Tango Red's are being built. Few Carbons before yours should get a nod hopefully.... (@Miuras, @Inspector71, @Terminator x, @Scooby216)
That is one awesome looking machine, proper jelous here...........Cheers Mukka!I'll give the dealers a hassle tomorrow/Monday and update you.
However, the wait has broken my spirit, and I went out shopping in full-End mode, and slipped to the Dark Side! Snagged a nice deal on a BMW M4 Competition! So my RS3 will be going up for sale the moment it arrives. View attachment 265116
Nice, Congratulations.Hi, Can you please remove me from the spreadsheet thanks.
I have waited 9 months and 18 months previously with Porsche, waiting there was not a problem as you had regular updates, but nothing at all from Audi.
I had hoped that as per the January Audi bulletin that Audi would look at all outstanding orders and make a decision on each , no chance at all, everybody is still in the dark, no communication at all.
I placed my order for a Vorspung SB on 26th May 22 and I have a procurement window on the End of March until End of May due to my RSQ3 VW PCH running out and my investment maturing. VWFS offered to extend my 3 year PCH, but at the same £'s as before and as I did not have a build week it could be 6 months or more of a wait, if it comes at all. So I declined the PCH offer and have had a full refund from Audi.
I also had an Option B, a BMW M240i xDrive on order from aug 22 (Stoke) and this has a delivery date now of June so that has also been cancelled and a full refund received.
Now I am on Option C I am picking up a new BMW M240i xDrive on the 27th March from Shrewsbury , not to the same spec as the cancelled one but very close with Tech pac inc HUD , adaptive suspension, and comfort access.
Good luck with your wait all, I hope they all arrive and you enjoy them. Best David

Thanks, Will have to look, why its missing somewhere. Brain & Eyes slightly not at best on a Sunday morning.The colour summary totals 113 ordered rather than 116 overall
Mine sat at the port for 6 weeks so hopefully yours will be on a boat next week. Do you know if it’s going to Tyne or Sheerness?Still no movement on mine, been sat at the port for 5 weeks now. Just seems to be luck of the draw as to how quick it gets on a boat once it’s there
there’s a boat arriving at Tyne on the 15/16th ….. I am hoping mine will be on there.Mine sat at the port for 6 weeks so hopefully yours will be on a boat next week. Do you know if it’s going to Tyne or Sheerness?
I’m not 100% sure but at a guess I would say Sheerness as that port is closer to where I’m located but that might not mean anything lol. I’ll have to find outMine sat at the port for 6 weeks so hopefully yours will be on a boat next week. Do you know if it’s going to Tyne or Sheerness?

not compensation as such, but I have been given 2yrs free servicing due to the long waitWhen I picked my car up last week the sales manager suggested that I contact Audi UK to ask if there is any compensation for the 18-month wait and missing features on the model. I had a £500 discount because I did not have a 360 camera. I have no rear USB ports. Audi UK has asked for my VIN and they are investigating has anyone else had any compensation?
How long it takes from the port to the dealer is a different matter; my original 2018 RS3 spent 10 days at sheerness - this new one I have no idea as Audi don't let us track it! (probably why they did that...).
Yeh this rings true as the dealer called me yesterday to say the car is already in the UK at Grimsby. Car will be at the dealer in 2 weeks so hopefully I’ll collect it early AprilHow long it takes from the port to the dealer is a different matter; my original 2018 RS3 spent 10 days at sheerness - this new one I have no idea as Audi don't let us track it!
