debrennan79 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi folks, I was wondering what waiting times people have experienced for their new A3's. I ordered my S line (V6) at the start of January and have been told it will be delivered at the end of March. I know this is an estimate but do you think I could perhaps get it earlier?

Simonl Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 yes it's possible... they tend to work to the worst case scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debrennan79 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Cheers Leman, I assumed that was the case so may hopefully get it a bit earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arex Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Well - I ordered a TDi S line on the 25th January and I was told production week 9 (which I *think* is w.b. 28th Feb). The dealer suggested a couple of weeks after this before I could actually have the car. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debrennan79 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 My god that is quick! Wish mine would arrive that early. I will have to hope Audi are being extra cautious with their estimations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arex Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Not quick enough!!!! In our team at work, we (will) have two 3.2's, a 1.6 and a TDi. If I recall (and I am sure my esteemed colleagues will correct me if I am talking rubbish) the 3.2's both took two to three months to arrive, the 1.6 and TDi were both quite a bit quicker. I am not sure why this was - perhaps they make the cars in runs of each engine size and I guess the 3.2 is probably the lowest demand so fewest runs?

debrennan79 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Cheers, that is useful info. Has anybody else found that Audi are falling over themselves to help you up to the point you pay the deposit and order the car........and then become extremely crap!!!

harddrive Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi Arex, Mine took nearly 5 months to arrive if i remember correctly so you are on a blinder of a run with yours. P.S. who at work has the TDI??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Bit cheeky i know, but if any of you knows anyone who would like to beat the wait and buy a 54 plate S line TDi, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulredpath Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I ordered my 2.0tdi dsg s-line at the start of december, built in week 4, but apparently there is a backlog with shipping as one of the ships broke down so I am looking at mid march. Just wondering if anyone else had been fed the same information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Mine had a week four build and it arrived at the dealer yesterday! Get your dealer to double check as according to the Audi computer my car is in a compound awaiting shipping yet my dealer assures me 100% that my car has arrived (I'm going to sit it in and press buttons on saturday - how sad!). I think this is happening quite a bit at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren_mercer Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 My A3 Sline TDI DSG was built in wk 4 and arrived at the dealer last Monday. I have asked them to keep it until the 1st March for an '05' plate as its only a couple of wks. They are going to put the chrome exhaust on it, so it already to pick up on the 1st.

paulredpath Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Had the dealer double check, my car is definately not in the UK yet, looks like ive just been unlucky Looks like the rental car will be getting a bit more abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arex Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 This is most frustrating. My 2.0TDi S-Line isn't even made yet (due to be made this week) so I am guessing it won't be with me for .... well .... I am not sure! Certainly well after the 1st. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulredpath Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yea, extremely excited Although with the weather in aberdeen the way it is, doubt it will be a great day :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidicks Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 My wife’s car has been moved up to build week 11, so I’m hoping for an end March delivery. Given the recent snow down here, I wouldn’t mind having it sooner, as the M3 is awful in this type of weather…. sidicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debrennan79 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Just had a call from Audi to tell me that my car will be ready for pick up on the 7th March- it was supposed to be the 14th so well chuffed. Apparently it is waiting for shipment at the minute- to be honest I can't see how it take 13 days to get here and be unwrapped though! Oh well, shouldn't complain!

Arex Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi Davey - do you know what build week you car was built? Just trying to get an idea of how long it takes from build week to collection..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulredpath Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Got my car yesturday, after having to drive to glasgow to collect, transport company were useless. Car is fantastic, couldnt be more pleased really, and the TDi is suprisingly quick. However seems the leasing company didnt order the correct extras so im missing cruise control and the BOSE speakers, but i will take that up with the today Ill post a few pics once its all cleaned up!

debrennan79 Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi Arex It was built in week 7 so looks like it takes roughly about 2 weeks to get shipped and ready for collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkoon Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 My bro's SB is a TDI in build week 7. Apparently arrived at dealers last Fri night. Picking up this Sat (5 Mar) with my build week 6 T FSI DSG SB (acronyms!!). So you should get yours anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
