Hi guys I've been lurking around this site for some months now, and thought it was about time I said hello I am also waiting delivery of my very first Audi.
I have ordered an A3 SB BE TDI 140 in Glacier White couldn't afore too many extras so just got folding mirrors,TPM,iPod dock,Bluetooth low, Front and rear parking sensors,cruise control,front rear mats think that's about it, I was given a build week of week 20.
My first question is how long does it normaly take the car to go through the production line and how long on average from build to actually being shipped.
The wait is killing me its like being a kid again so close to Christmas but the weeks are just dragging by lol just want to get some nice pics up ASAP.
Hi Odinn. Welcome.
I was confimed build w/c 21st May, expected at dealer w/c 11/06. Possibly delayed slightly by the bank holiday and jubilee. So I'd say 2-3 weeks from build week.

I had the same build week and had email from dealer saying my car was at Emden last Tuesday so hopefully it is on a boat this weekend if not already in the UK. I'm hoping to get a call next week and pick up the following week. Fingers crossed.
Hi Marc
Sounds positive. Didnt realise they came via Emden. Im told mine comes into Grimsby. Might even get a call this week then. The dealer said that because of the 8 month wait, they would turn it round as priority 24-48 hours.
Thanks for that.
Ordered mine late march 2012. Dealers told me build week 24, 11th June.
1.8 petrol BE. phantom black.
Technology Pack
Comfort Pack
Mobile bluetooth preparation low
Storage Package
Non-smoking package
Hopefully not too much longer after the build week. I cant wait.

Stop it the pair of you. As in the words of TOWIE ( shoot my Mrs watches ) I am well JEL !
Hi Igooch
Was that for the build date or for delivery?
No problem. Boats from Emden to Grimsby. You can check the ships leaving/arriving Emden/Grimsby here (the Highway vessels) - EMDEN: Port's Details
Just a pity we dont know which one they will be or were on.

Dont mind at all Igooch. Hopefully have it next week. Wont have all your extras on though. Just have to use your imagination for them!!
Might even get a cup of tea out of me!
Are you picking it up this week Schoey ?
Did you change you light bulbs ?
Na they are standard - they just look it when the picture is white balanced.
My white one and my dads new one he ordered the day I picked mines up. His took 5 months - mines took 10.
Hope so, spoke to dealer on friday. Awaiting transportation. Turnaround is quick at Bolton, so crossed fingers for the end of the week. Heard anymore on yours? Do you know what dealer it's going through?
Dealer was expecting the car this afternoon, should pick her up on Friday pm. Happy days.
wooo hooo
just had an email from my company saying that my car will be delivered next Thursday. A whole 5 weeks before they said it would be.
So thats a total of 4 months from date of order. Not bad eh. Well done Audi !
Adam. When did your old man order his ?

Great news. Picking mine up on Saturday which was ordered middle of Feb so pretty much the same.
Great news fella, really pleased for you. Pick mine up tomorrow after 2pm!! Was told it would be Tuesday this morning as they has to order the 'Lex' pack. Told them to stuff that, I'll pick that up in a couple of weeks. Couple of phone calls and job done.
