Or buy access to erwin for 7euro (or get elsawin) and get some grease £30 and DIY. There is enough grease to last around 3 services, and you are allowed to print off pages in erwin. https://erwin.volkswagen.de/erwin/showOrderFlatrateAssistant.do
Revelation over the weekend is that I've now seen the savings available on a new car on carwow... getting in contact with Stoke Audi who are offering a brand new BE Avant (auto) at just over £31k when bought on PCP, a saving of almost 25%!
My car has been ordered!
Audi A6 Avant TDI Ultra Black Edition S Tronic.
Options I chose were daytona grey paint, technology pack and panoramic sunroof (couldn't resist). Terrific deal through Orangewheels and Crawley Audi.
And now the wait begins! Quoted all through the process as December estimated delivery but we'll see whether they can deliver on that.
You should have had a build date by now, I would contact Audi UK directly my order was the 12th of July, and the car is now in the build process.
Thank you. I received a voicemail today from the dealer to say that still no build date been allocated by Audi..... The lady concerned said she is going to chase Audi UK next week, however I will take your advice and contact them myself. You ordered your car approx. 2 weeks before me so it's good to hear your car us in the build process. When is your delivery date?
I ordered mine after you guys, mid August, and have a build date of 26th Sept. My order tracking app has also moved to stage 3, 'preparation'.
So I'd definitely chase Audi to check nothing is amiss.
My car is in "Paint shop" at the moment, and the build & QC should take another 2-3 days. After that they are allowed 4 weeks to deliver the car to the dealer! I got a build week early last month so you have had yours last month, and from what other people have posted about their build week, it 's getting to the point where you will be lucky to get delivery this year, if you have not been allocated a build week.
You could also go back to the dealer and ask them if they have any A6 "dealer stock" orders that could be changed to your specification.
Have kept on chasing dealer as order placed on 29/7/16 and still no build date...... No real progress so finally lost patience today and rang Audi UK. It transpires that the dealership I've ordered through don't have any further allocation for BE A6 Avants at present, hence my order plus deposit have been taken but it's just in limbo awaiting further allocation.... Audi UK have been superb today, have apologised that the dealer hadn't communicated this to me and have escalated my case to endeavour to get the earliest possible build date confirmed. They've promised they'll give me an update by next Tuesday/Wednesday. Thanks to all for your help so far.
There's been a few posts about cracking deals obtain through OrangeWheels.
I did get a quote but had already place an order with my local dealer who has agreed to do some dealer fit tweak to bridge the saving gap, but I digress.
The point is that OrangeWheels said that it was a London based dealer. Now I know Crawley isn't London but I'm just wondering if there's something fishy going on and Crawley are OWs go-to-dealer who are doing deals to undercut and secure an order and then, like you guys, string you along until they get more allocations. Like you, most will be reluctant to cancel. Have created a new thread asking people who've used OW which dealer they have put them in touch with.

So to update...
I had a few calls today with Serena at Audi UK who was absolutely fantastic. She was very concerned about the status of my order and seemed to really care for getting me a good outcome.
Firstly she called Crawley Audi whilst I held to ask whether they had any allocation at this time - they do not. She then asked me to phone Orangewheels (she couldn't due to data protection) to ask whether they deal with any other Audi dealers so I could get the order through another dealer. I phoned Orangewheels and interestingly no, Crawley Audi is the only dealership they order through, proving the theory I had in the other thread.
I relayed this information to her when she called me back, after which she phoned every other dealer (all in the space of ~1 hour) within the Inchcape group as Crawley agreed that they would allow my order to be transferred to another dealer. Unfortunately, none of the Inchcape dealerships have any allocation for my type of vehicle (I assume A6 Avant BE) so my only option is to wait for the estimated delivery date which she says is now March '17. I later e-mailed my contact at Crawley Audi who has not filled me in on any of this. Her reply to my question asking if there was any update was simply that there is no update and that she would let me know when my order gets allocated a build date.
Serena at Audi UK said she'd try a few other things (I forget what she said) but my choice now seems to be to wait another 5 months to take delivery or to cancel the order. Not sure what I'll do yet but going to keep an eye out again for Used Cars until I hear more.
Cheers
Thanks. At a push the end of December but more realistically think it will be early to mid January.
Can't wait!!
Great pictures of your car, great colour and superb looking car, really glad it worked out for you.
