sorry to resurrect. I had my S3 saloon delivered yesterday - 230 mile at delivery (Brighton to Sheffield - hmmm....). Drove it 40 miles into Nottingham. Today on driving back to Sheffield through Nottingham I came to a set of lights. Stop/Start turned the engine off as it had been doing. Then it...

Boooo! 2 sleeps here

any saloon owners fitted one of these? i can find OEM for c£550 or aftermarket for c£180 (x-uk ?). thoughts? pics?

Mine's confirmed delivery for next Wednesday. Here's the thing; it's a lease. The supplying dealer is Brighton. I'm in Sheffield. I have little/no issue with them driving it up - I'll ask them not to take it to the car wash when they get here (which is what they usually do. The problem is...

Dunno what happened with my SB order. What I do know is that it's 42degrees in Turkey, the pool is refreshing, the beer is chilled and my S3 saloon will be delivered to me (at home, it's a lease) on 2nd September. And I have the reg number. Can't wait!

registered but can't find anywhere to enter the VIN?

S3 Saloon. Glacier White. Coming to me 2nd September.

I've never been able to check the spec of my car, probably due to it being a lease? However, I now have the VIN. Is it possible to check from this?

This is what happened with my SB order. Granted it was a lease via a broker but Audi UK told me directly that there are 'lengthy delays'. Ultimately I couldn't wait until 'late jan/early feb' (they gave me build week 50) for a car I ordered in March 2015. Dropped on with a well spec'd saloon...

Having accepted a different vehicle due to the order **** up/backlog on my sepang SB, my Glacier white saloon is confirmed. I've got most of what I'd spec'd on the SB plus plenty more such as privacy glass and B&O. The bits i hadn't spec'd and am unsure on are: * Mag ride - what does it give...

Well, it doesn't show up on my audi but i figure that's because it's a lease? A call to Audi customer service has confirmed that: 1. It's from Brighton Audi 2. It's 'at Emden' ???? 3. It has B&O which I was unaware of - all the other options were as described to me. Nice Brucey bonus!

the saloon will cost me £50 pcm more than my ordered SB. In the end I was seduced by the saloon - i've yet to see one on the road near me. I've also opted for full maintenance for £36 per month. Over 35 months that's £1260. It (appears!) to cover all servicing AND TYRES. I reckon that the...

So, decision made. Swapped to the saloon. Delivery between 25-28 August - going on a private plate so no issue with the date. Only slight concern is as I didn't order it, the spec might end up different from what's listed.

So when does your order appear on my audi? I now have an order number and have been given a build week verbally be Audi Customer 'Services' but still nothing on myaudi?!

Err, we have a 2012 VW Beetle - a VWAG hatchback WITHOUT a factory rear wiper.
