There’s also a button in the car to call them, above the rear view mirror (not the SOS button)

I forgot about that, I pressed it once in the wife’s car once to see if it worked, had a chat with some woman in a call centre.

Hi, was quoted around 16 weeks on a late January ordered A5 Coupe (Black, beige two-tone leather, no options). Any idea what lead times are please?

I was quoted 16 week delivery on my order in late July and it still isn't with me, it's now been built (just) but waiting for it to be shipped to the UK.

I think they had a massive backlog of orders last year however and changed something on the production line which i think caused the delays but not sure whether they have caught up with demand yet or not.

Did everyone get a reduction in costs - someone mentioned something about excise reduction. I’m getting mine in a few weeks - hopefully

Anyone ever figure out how to lock and unlock car from the Audi app?

I’m still getting the “unable to perform this function” error...

I did. My initial payment reduced by £400


Does anyone’s car ever actually change into 7th gear? Mine never seems to.

I ordered directly through Audi and even though it's the same model they said it wasn't relevant to me so don't really understand it.

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but I have a build code ("SLI" code) but cannot get the audi app set up or go online to check it. The things I've found ask for stuff I obviously havent got yet as it hasnt been built like VIN number so I cant get on the systems. Can anyone give me a steer please?

The tool to track your order online and on the app has been down for "maintenance" since August so now way to do it at the moment annoyingly!

It does but you have to be doing 65+

And the slightest tap of the throttle will put it back into D6

Terribly annoying

Had an update on Wednesday to say it was still in Belgium "awaiting ship". Not expecting it for at least 2/3 weeks i would've thought just seems to be taking an eternity.

I did all of mine when i placed the order back in July i think but not sure whether I'll need to do it again now it's been so long? I've not heard anything this week yet so no idea what's going on! My current car has already gone as well so I'm car less at the moment!
