After nagging and nagging Yasmin at Coventry, she's finally decided to let me know I have a build week of 45 for my lease car, which I ordered start of July, apparently due 28th Nov. Hopefully I will be working in Oxford the days prior so I can have a dealer hand over (never experienced) then drive the 8V back to Yorkshire. @Vertigo1 is your car through Inchcape?
Week 45 can't come quick enough.
How many weeks before build week is 'lock down'?
45 is slowly creeping in guys
I'm bw45, due 18/11, collection 1/12 or thereabouts. So, assuming you get bw48, you should get for Xmas.Week 48 for me (provisional) taken 5 weeks to get an email from the dealer confirming this, and time is dragging.......
With shipping etc. it's looking like January before it'll be delivered, is it normal for provisional build dates to be moved? I'm not expecting it to move forward, more hoping it won't be moved back.
Just confirmed by the dealer - One week until my A3 starts to get built!
Exciting
Time for us shy retiring types in BW45 onward to come forward and put this thread back near the top me thinks.
Do most people get a call from the dealer to confirm that the provisional build week they were given has been confirmed? Or that the spec is now 'locked in'?
Well said DickiePhitt! Heard nothing from my dealer for months!! Frustrating to say the least,then got a call on Monday to say collection is tomorrow (Sunday)!Not in my case. Only time I've ever had an update is when I've emailed the dealer, despite asking to be informed of 'milestones'. A premium car is a major purchase for most people and I find Audi's lack of interest in their customers between deposit and final payments to be lamentable. This 5 month wait has given me plenty of time to reflect on my brand loyalty.
Fingers crossed - perhaps if there are fewer cars going through Emden this time of year it will be a week or so quicker to get them to dealers.
Not sure that's the case bud. My BW41 car has been sat there since 15 October...
When was your car confirmed built mate?
so it's been 4 weeks but no sign of it being at the dealer anytime soon? I've got S3 saloon on order so maybe going to be longer wait then I thought?It was built w/c 6 October and booked in at Emden on 15th. Mine's a saloon which takes a little longer to get to Emden (built in Hungary) but the wait is killing me!

That is strange! Seems to be taking an awful long time if it was built over 4 weeks ago! I'm sure you will get a reply soon and hopefully your car is fine. Keep us updated.That's correct. All of the detail is in the thread BW 41, 42, 43, 44 but basically Audi quote 10-15 days between the car arriving at Emden and leaving. I have no idea why mine is taking so long, particularly as some BW 43 cars are apparently already in the UK.
I emailed Audi CS Friday and Saturday asking for an update and they haven't replied. My fear is that something has happened to it, possibly damaged in transit? I can't think of any other explanation.
