You said you ordered it 'a few weeks ago' but you're expecting it in about 4 weeks?
If ordered through a dealer that had allocation then that is feasible? Could be a cancelled order tooMust be one of the very first customer cars, too.

Yes you're right. I'd forgotten but he said it was a cancelled order, come to think of it.
Must be one of the very first customer cars, too.
I seem to recall you have a Sportback on order with build date of the 20th of Feb (Same as me)Must be one of the very first customer cars, too.
Has yours moved on according to the tracker yet mate?
What about yours? Still showing 20th Feb?

All those with build dates showing as 20th feb on the tracker - has your tracker moved yet?
Mine still showing 20th feb order received...
Mine still shows 20th Feb expected build.Mine still showing 20th feb order received...
I've had an update this morning that the dealer is expecting to receive my car 2nd/3rd week of March.

I do Nick, but no movement yet. Must be the nightshift starting on mine?
What about yours? Still showing 20th Feb?
Yeah mine's still showing as the 20th too. At least ours aren't Monday morning builds!!! lolWhat about yours? Still showing 20th Feb?
As I posted above, I've been told mine should be 2nd or 3rd week of March to arrive at the dealer.

We have movement!
My car is in QC according to the 'Your Audi' order tracker.
So it's gone from yesterday where it was showing as due to start production on 20th Feb to being finished, overnight.
I have a feeling the tracker might not be all that 'live'.
Anyone else seeing progress?
Nice, you must be buzzing with that! Mine still stuck on 6th March, but your news gives me a small hope I might get it before April...My car is in QC according to the 'Your Audi' order tracker.

Be interesting to see how long it takes to be delivered to you now...
The lease co' told me 2nd/3rd week of March for the car to reach the dealer, so perhaps a couple of weeks from now?

Mine has moved to QC after just checking now too..
However I spoke to the fleet department at Audi Sheffield yesterday and they said QC was completed on the 23rd, and the car is now waiting to be shipped.
She said to give a call next week, to see if it has been shipped.
I am expecting this car around 2nd week of March now! SO EXCITED!
Great news!However I spoke to the fleet department at Audi Sheffield yesterday and they said QC was completed on the 23rd, and the car is now waiting to be shipped.

I'm expecting yours and mine may arrive together, then. Mine is also coming from Sheffield.
Is yours a Sportback as well?
NickA555 said:
Well my 20th of Feb build has jumped all the way to quality control now. It was still showing order received status on Sunday. Let's hope they don't have the same fiasco that they had in Emden with the Golf R's leaving the compound for the boat (My car was pushed to the back by cars built later than mine and sat there for weeks and weeks...)
Great news. Hope this bloody boat doesn't sink now; it must be full to the gunnels with S5s.

Has mine missed the boat? Still in QC!
More filler needed probably.
I think they drove mine into the back of yours on the way out the factory mate!!! More filler needed probably.
On a more serious note, if your car is coming from Sheffield Audi (Which is actually in Chesterfield lol) it might be worth giving them a call like I did today as mine is still showing as in QC on the online tracker. The girl in the fleet dept confirmed that mine has left the factory and heading to the port for shipping so I expect the same for yours...
NickA555 said:
That's interesting cos the tracker showed your car built before mine yet mine is now in transit to Emden according to the tracker...unless of course the tracker just hasn't updated for you...
Might be worth giving the dealer a call in Sheffield for an update?
I called them today, Nick.Might be worth giving the dealer a call in Sheffield for an update?
Didn't get much in the way news, though. I'll put it down to the fact they'll be very busy with getting cars out in the '17 plate rush.
Will try again on Monday if it's still not moved.

Sounds about right as mine was build 20th Feb and had left the factory 4 days ago.
So projecting that forward all us 20th Feb lot are expecting cars next week?They're probably using it for the sandwich runs, or one of the apprentices has wrapped it round a tree round the back of the factory while attempting handbrake turns with an electric parking brake.
