Exciting update! The car finished build at the end of last week and is already at the UK port, with collection planned for next Sunday (3rd)!

Even my dealer is surprised with the speed at which it has arrived once it was built! 

Although there doesn't seem to be a great many ships sailing from Emden to the Tyne port in the near future!

Doesnt really happen, if its stuck sometimes it can be that there is an issue, normally though there is just a variance on shipping times, if its first on the ship it might have to wait until the last car is loaded, if its last on the ship it can sail straight away. From build they have 28 days to get the car to dealer. 

Grand, thanks!

I got the official email from Audi today saying that the car is in transit, so hopefully it should be down the road at the dealers within 4 weeks then! Exciting......

Very helpful - thanks!

Excellent news, thanks!

So getting the order status number is much more accurate than Your Audi, I'm guessing?

Hi Guys! So I've just checked the order status by using https://www.audi.co.uk/myaudi-public-api/services/v1/orders/********     and I get the below status:

{"responseInfo":{"code":0,"desc":"Success"},"data":{"orderNumber":"27XXXXX",
"orderStatus":"30","deliveryDealerCode":"007XX","
orderHistory":[{"orderStatus":"24","statusDate":"2017-11-13T00:00:00+0000"},{"orderStatus":"23","statusDate":"2017-11-11T00:00:00+0000"},{"orderStatus":"22","statusDate":"2017-11-10T00:00:00+0000"},{"orderStatus":"21","statusDate":"2017-11-09T00:00:00+0000"},{"orderStatus":"20","statusDate":"2017-10-25T01:06:54+0100"},{"orderStatus":"10","statusDate":"2017-09-20T01:07:43+0100"},{"orderStatus":"00","statusDate":"2017-05-25T01:11:46+0100"}],"vehicleData":{"make":"Audi","model":"A3 Sportback","modelVariant":"Sport 1.0 TFSI","modelVersion":"0","modelYear":"2018"," etc etc

Am I right is saying this is indeed saying that the car is now at status 30 and that 'Order Status 30' means that it has now left the factory? If so, interestingly, Your Audi still shows the car as being in QC!

Many thanks as always!

Also, once it’s on a boat, is it possible to track it as it moves to the UK? Not that I’m inpatient at all..... 

Update! Car is now in quality control! 

I understand that the cars can sometimes get bogged down in QC? Once it moves to ‘in transit’ and the car leaves the factory, how long should I expect until the car arrives at the dealership? 

Very exciting! 

Update: After the build week moved to 4th December, the build week has now moved forward by 3 weeks to mid November!

Thanks Steve! 

I guess we can but wait and see! In terms of spec, it’s fairly standard (Sportback, Sport, Black, with  Technology Pack and slightly upgraded alloy wheels). 

Hi All,

I am very excited to have ordered my new A3 Sportback a couple of weeks ago.

The 'YourAudi' tracker is currently saying that my build is expected to begin on 28th November, which I assume means delivery towards the end of December, which seems an awfully long time away!! (Patience is not my greatest virtue...)

I was just wondering if anyone has ordered an A3 or any other model in recent times, and how accurate they found these dates to be? From a bit of googling it seems these dates can swing about fairly wildly? The dealer predicted delivery by the end of November when ordering..

Any info much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Rob
