Just adding a bit here for any future readers as I too had to enquire about this for my 2021 A3 Sportback which I didn't spec the space saver wheel on and needed it recently (long story). Got a quote from my local Audi dealership for £200 for the boot foam x2, screw clamp, steel rim, and...

I recently did my dashcam install (via hardwire so I could have parking mode), so was in the fusebox with a voltmeter. Fairly sure I remember the cigarette lighter fuse being switched live, meaning switches on when you press start, as opposed to permanent live. Have you looked through the...

Aware these are all mentioned elsewhere, just showing they still persist. Yeah, although I wasn't switching users, the car was trying to load the previously used profile so some data must need to be requested with the data connection. Still though, this should be handled a bit better in the UI...

Have had the car for just under two months now and noticed a couple of quirks, mostly all related to the technology. MMI getting stuck on the individual user loading screen when getting in the car - We have two accounts but usually mine is in place as I drive it more often, so it attempts to...

Just adding in here for anyone interested that I was just on erWin Audi and in there it says the build date and delivery date of the vehicle (you need your VIN to access this, so typically would mean you already have the car). Anyhow, mine was built 6th October and delivery was 12th November, so...

Picked up the car from its ceramic coating yesterday, chap did a great job. He also mentioned that the paint was actually in pretty poor condition, despite me asking the dealership not to touch it, with some pretty deep scratches in the clear coat already.

Yes it did. Glad yours is making progress! This is good to hear, was also planning to use Cazoo. Their offer was about £250 less than what I got through Carwow (which actually is Wizzle who handles the selling side of things, who then connect you to a dealership), but they have a drop off site...

Took delivery earlier today. It's pretty dirty as I asked them not to wash it because it's getting a ceramic coating this weekend. First impressions is that it drives quite differently to my 8V (35 TSFI S-tronic BE), but that is from all of 3 minutes driving so far.

Since mid-April, so it would have been just under 7 months overall

Heard from my leasing company this morning, delivery scheduled for the end of next week. Now just to sell the current one!

To be honest, I have no idea and the general communications around build status from my leasing company were just always "In production" (still says this tbh). Order was placed in April and I just left it until around mid-September as the original delivery date was end of September. Managed to...

Got an update from my leasing company saying the vehicle should be with the dealer within the next week, so looks like another shipment is coming to the UK. Have asked them not to do any washing as part of the PDI as it's going straight for a ceramic coat, which thankfully they have agreed to.

Spoke to Audi CS the other day to try and get an update, which like many of you, ended up with being told they can't give me one. What I found interesting was the reason I was told was not because of some system being down, but rather they have been specifically told not to give updates as of...

Placed the order in mid-April for a Sportback Vorsprung 35 TFSI S-tronic in Mythos Black, no add-ons. Assuming November does happen, that's ~7 months for an 8Y compared to the ~5 months I waited for my 8V Sportback 35 TFSI S-tronic Black Edition.

The first bit (date) is from my leasing company, who in turn hear it from the dealer. The stage information I got by speaking to Audi CS on the phone (0800 699 888). Chap mentioned it was at "stage 7" so I just questioned what that meant, how many there are overall (he didn't say) and what...
