The only others I’ve seen like you is my dads Ford Ranger and their neighbours 4 series.
A3/S3 delivery lead time?
- Thread starter Ludus
- Start date
I’ve got the same confirmed build week as you but mine hasnt started production yet either. Still stage/status 20.
I don't see the point of a confirmed build week for it not to be built
The last message they answered was within an hour with the exact same message as before. I think they are just sending me generic emails without actually checking
Mine is still showing the same confirmed build week despite it being in the past.
I can only assume it’s “locked in” and so will be built next in the queue. Any others with confirmed builds will follow on afterwards but presumably delayed by the same timeframes (unless they can squeeze more in than they had originally anticipated).
Who knows…
Whilst that is the information they give out via the customer service channels, they do have more. It just seems they actively are these days preventing this extra information being disclosed.
Back when I ordered my Polo and current A3, they allowed you to track via VW and Audi branded order trackers online (assume it was the same for the rest of the Volkswagen Group too). The UI wasn't that informative but the trick was to inspect the network requests in your browsers network tab, which revealed payload data that went more in depth about sub-states of statuses and there were threads on other forums about what code meant what status. I even remember going beyond that where we were learning the transport ship names so we could track them from Emden to the UK (was young and had way too much time on my hands). Don't know why they got rid of these online trackers as typically companies want you to not contact them so they can save on support staff.

Well, my order I put in just over a week ago that was estimated for "Early May 2022", has now slipped to "Late July 2022" . so slipped well over two months in a week, never known anything like it. At this rate, we'll all get our new cars in time for Petrol cars being banned lol 
Great, good to hear positive news. Still hopeful mine will start to get built this week but still cannot get any answers and asked to wait until next week for an update.
Is that around 2 weeks from leaving Emden to arriving at the dealer ?
Mine was ‘apparently’ Port of exit released on Monday so I presume that means it’s was being put on a ship then.
Just trying to work out how long it takes from being released to arriving in the Uk then to the dealer.
They don’t rush do they !
Yes, mine only took a couple of days to actually arrive in the UK after getting to Emden, it's the dealership collecting the car that's taking so long.
Confirmed build week 37 for me however still showing no chassis number so I doubt it’s even started. Now saying ETA of November but happy to accept its going to be in the new year I see it (April order date)
There’s no catch. I went and saw U2 in the Audi Box with hospitality at Manchester Arena a couple of years ago using Audi Presents. I suppose the only catch is being able to get the event you want due to demand.
On the subject of car lead times, I ordered an S3 Vorsprung April this year and after many changes of manufacturing date, it’s now week 8 next year.

Sounds good! At first I thought it was similar to the Audi VIP event I was invited to a few years ago, when I had my 8V.
It was at a country manor just outside of Bristol and you got to drive a load of high performance Audi's out on the road, food was put on, goodie bags, simulators etc. I was lucky enough to drive the TTRS, RS6, RS4 & RSQ3. Was a great day - would love to do it again.
Same confirmed week as mine - really hope it’s not going to drag until the new year…
Ordered A3 Vorsprung saloon in Daytona Grey 16th April and eventually given build week 37 confirmed. Spoke to my dealer this morning who said build is taking place and they should have confirmation of completion by Monday so fingers crossed. He also said things appear to be moving better now so hope for all who are waiting
It's here!!!
Glad you've finally picked yours up (shame about the weather), love those alloys, I've spec'd those on mine too. Happy driving!!
They are making them!!
out of curiosity, do you have the Audi phone box? Been told last week they won’t be building mine with it as they are no longer offering it.

Mines not coming with phone box. Been told I get a £150 good will payment when I receive the car

Yeah I've managed to get it when there's no fuel and there's nothing but rain for weeks!Glad you've finally picked yours up (shame about the weather), love those alloys, I've spec'd those on mine too. Happy driving!!
They're definitely the nicest wheels on the mainstream market imo!Definitely, it just takes 10 months!So there’s proof it can be done!!!!
As far as I know i've got it, I haven't been told otherwise. The car doesn't get delivered till tomorrow so i'll confirm then.
When and how were you told this? It's quite a key feature for me and was essential when ordering the vehicle, if it turns out I don't have it upon delivery I would be very tempted to reject the entire car, yes I know it sounds petty, but it's more than just a wireless charger. £150 compensation won't cut it i'm afraid.
I was told by lease company two weeks ago, sent the attached

Thanks!
Luckily my dealer just got back to me and my build wasn't affected and does have the phone box fitted. Panic over
Same colour as mine, same wheels as well. I got the flat bottom steering wheel.
Hopefully mine will be here in the next week.
Let us know how it is, pictures !
I ordered my A2 July 27th was told there would be a 21 week wait as there wasn't one available .My order stated 31/12/21 as expected delivery date. I emailed for an update and was told it should be going into build mud Jan and I should receive it march at this rate they will have updated the car before I get it
Where do you all monitor progress ?

Don't hold your breath. Mine was ordered in March, with a delivery of Sept. Latest estimated build is week 6- Feb next year...
Good luck.
Send Audi UK a direct message on Twitter asking for updates. You will need your order number.
All the best
Received this this morning. Don’t know why they sent this now when it’s clearly dated in July.

Exactly a month after my order. Mines currently an unconfirmed build of 8th November.
I use Facebook messenger for my updates. What's your spec?
I had this yesterday from Facebook:
Hi Nick. Thanks for waiting, and we hope you're well. We've checked you order and it currently has an unconfirmed build week of 15th November 2021. As it's unconfirmed it could change and will be confirmed by the Factory approximately 2 weeks beforehand. Please be assured that we're are working hard to deliver your chosen vehicle as quickly as possible, and your Selling Centre can also keep you up to date on what's happening. Please do feel free to check in with us again over the coming weeks for further updates, we'll be happy to assist.
I ordered 16th June, Edition 1, s-tronic with Daytona Grey paint as the only option.

That's interesting, you've ordered a week before me, yet have a later build date. I've got an SLine with a few options.... It must be the larger virtual cockpit holding yours up?
I checked with them today on the status of my order
Confirmed build week 37 (13th September) - not started production yet

I know it’s strange. I didn’t think the larger display was an issue but at the moment anything could be holding it up. I don’t think I’ll see it this side of the year which is a shame. I sold my car back in April too.

I'm car less at the moment as well, sold it at the end of August, cashed in on the used car market. In all honesty I'd hoped to see my new car mid November, but that didn't happen. Starting to wish I'd kept my old car a little longer.
