Hi
Status 40 on 12th
Spoke to dealer and they advised approx 10 working days for delivery to them.
Transport order raised on 13th.
Not sure why the dealer can not give more accurate date..
Anyone else faced that??
Thanks
Called CS today and mine has been "randomly" selected for more QC checks! Can take up to 3 weeks and then another 2 from when they pass to be put on a ship. Very annoying! Car has been sitting since 21/6 at Emden Port.
Yes because they are all lazy ******* is my personal opinion.
The correct reason is because they are not responsible for the delivery. There is some debate whether Audi or the dealer raise the transport order however once raised the timeline is 7 days at most typically from port to dealer.
The transport company arranges the logistics of it depending on where the dealer is and other cars needing to be delivered to them or other dealers.
In my case my car went status 40 on a Monday and was delivered to the dealer on Thursday. My dealer was an hour away from sheerness so the car went from 40 to 70 overnight - it was collected and delivered that Thursday. So it depends on where the dealer is. The dealer will typically hear from the transport company when they are due a delivery but my experience of this is they can’t be bothered to chase it up or they will come up with some excuse. And then the car will just be delivered and they will tell you and be all surprised.
Do you no if any ships are on the way to grimbsy by any chance mate?Having the car this close to me is ridiculous!
I never thought I'd be tracking a ship lol
I'm the blue dot btw.

You'll be looking for the Weser Highway. It's currently en route back to Emden. Then back to Grimsby. It's due in Germany at 4 tomorrow morning.Do you no if any ships are on the way to grimbsy by any chance mate?

HiThanks mark. I'm not collecting until 1st sept ! But nice to no it's where abouts !!!
Yeah I had a rule, any date after Aug 15, I'd wait. Anything before it would be painful, so as I've just got status 40 I'm hoping (long shot) to pick up this weekend. I'll chase dealer today to get paperwork done and raise a transportation order for it.Hi
I initially thought to wait till September for 67 plate as well, but the build date moved forward, so hopefully will be collecting in this week...
Can't wait now...
Dealer called today to say they have the car, that's 4 weeks from the official star of BW 25. I'm now 380 miles from the dealer, but quite impressed that they will be transporting it to me at no cost on Thursday - excited!
Thought you'd changed to Floret for a minute there but it's a generic pic for exclusive paintordered on the 26/05/17 View attachment 131070

Ah the torture of being back in the tracker............. lol
Something I spotted about build times, order codes & build weeks - lots of people have posted their codes & the build schedule here -
Say you've been given build week X by the system. Starting on a Monday.
Everyone's build history that I've seen on here has started on the Thurs before the given Monday of week X.
I mean, the pattern appears to be :
Some time e.g. 10 days before week X : code 20 : "Preparation"
Thurs before week X : code 21 : "Panel shop"
Fri : code 22 : "Paint shop"
Sat : code 23 : "Assembly"
Sun : factory closed
The Monday of the given build week X : code 24 : "QA"
I read this to mean that the codes 21, 22, 23, 24 are just auto-generated chaff - the "QA" stage appears to be the date when they actually start making the car (which is why it can take up to a week to get past that stage... the actual QA stage is probably just a few hours).
I'm in Sheerness too... where is your dealer based?Ha, well that rather takes the sheen off it! Should've known!
Spoke to my dealer today who is going to raise a transport order to get my car from Sheerness. Finance docs are coming through the post..

yes I've got the VIN alright - can't yet get anything out of myaudi.com about it, I guess they haven't flushed through all the databases yet, probably that only happens overnight or something.
>> ps. spoke to Audi, apparently that VIN info will only go into the myAudi.com site once the thing's registered (in a DVLA sense).
SameThat is wrong. I registered on myaudi as the car was on the way to port. I guess they just need to add the VIN to the system so just keep trying.

wait a sec, no, it does tell me the actual as-built spec; in a roundabout way, under the "Product Rating" section.
In here, is a 5-star rating quiz per-built-component; from which I can tell what the per-built-components actually are ...
Thanks Chris!That is just lovely ! Daytona?
Nice mark you must be chuffed ! I won't be long behind you now lad..So I went and had a perv today...

Daytona, of course. Grey will never go out of fashion and all that! The Bang and Olufsen is unbelieveable! I cranked it right up (I had permission)

The "Vehicle Details" section doesn't have (yet) what I actually spec'd. Only the generic configuration of that model, e.g. engine performance. Maybe it'll update a bit later on, since it does already know the VIN, but that itself only happened one day after the VIN itself appeared after the code 30 status.
