yourAudi - Track New Car Order

Suggest everybody check their orders - mine has jumped about 5 steps (not bad as original build start date was next Monday the 17th ..... ;) )

data":[{"orderNumber":"26685817","orderStatus":"30","deliveryDealerCode":"00483","orderHistory":[{"orderStatus":"24","statusDate":"2017-04-17T00:00:00+0100"},{"orderStatus":"23","statusDate":"2017-04-15T00:00:00+0100"},{"orderStatus":"22","statusDate":"2017-04-14T00:00:00+0100"},{"orderStatus":"21","statusDate":"2017-04-13T00:00:00+0100"},{"orderStatus":"20","statusDate":"2017-03-28T01:06:08+0100"},{"orderStatus":"10","statusDate":"2017-01-26T01:13:34+0000"}]

I would have expected it to progress this weekend... but forward dates is a new one on me!

It's actually suggesting you're already status 30???

In truth I think you will be exactly as I was... leave factory Tuesday and at port by Thursday next week.

Here's hoping - only fly in the ointment - the current car is not due to be handed back late May ... so May have to sit @ the dealership for a wee while ... 21st century problems eh !!

My build week has jumped from 29 to 27 this morning. It seems to change every Sunday. Lol. Anyone with similar experience? My status is still 10 btw.

Mine is also 17th build date and I've got the same as you! I thought maybe that status 24 date was maybe when they think all the quality control stuff would be finished and it would leave the factory.

Cheers Richard, that's the one I'd guessed at as well. So yeah it should be in Grimsby by now. :)

Now I've just got to convince the dealers to let me take it at the end of May beginning of June and myself to not want it now. :tearsofjoy:

I would anticipate that they would want you to take delivery of the car within a certain timeframe.

When dealerships order stock cars, they have a month to shift them on generally before Audi UK will start charging interest. They sometimes refer to this as the garage "adopting" the car.

I would expect the same to apply after say 30 days(ish) so they may not be able to let you leave it for too long.
 
Collected this morning.

Until next time folks...

Hi Naps - maybe want to check again - mine now showing as in Transit from Ingolstadt to the docks .......

I'm in no rush as it's at the earliest 8 weeks before I'd realistically want to take the car so as not to overlap with the current car !! Of course I'd prefer to have it right now - but for once I'm trying to be sensible .......

Richard Tallis - looks like you were spot on !!

Yep mine has also left! :grinning: I also have the odd date order like yours where status 24 has a later date than status 30! I guess it's just round the wrong way or something.

The online system still shows as Status 39, but I've had a text message from the dealer this morning telling me their system shows it's landed in the UK. I'm guessing it will be with them soon enough...! :)

They'll probably want you to collect next week ha ha!
 
Does the new S3 have a 12v port in the boot?

If yes, would someone mind showing me the position?

Just doing some research on electric cool boxes for the boot.
 
Pretty sure it does, will check later! and think its left side (saloon)
