I hate to think what happens to these cars at the docks.cuttsy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:06 amJust so others have some sort of timescale to relate to here is my build week 6 (5th feb) car update.
The tracker started before the 5th, paint Shop, panel Shop etc, I think this is automated and not real time. The car was into QC at the beginning of the build week and spent two weeks there. It then left the factory almost four weeks ago and that it where the tracker has been since.
I have been told it is at the dock and after chasing earlier this week I was told it will be on the next availaible boat. Two boats have left Emden for Sheerness since and still nothing (not sure what has happened to me to be tracking boats is this normal behaviour?). It still needs to get across the water through customs to the dealer and PDI'd before I can get to it, frustration starting to set in considering I have previous Audi's that have taken just over two weeks from build week to dealer.
When I used to work for Honda Manufacturing, we'd sometimes get roped into going to the Docks in either Bristol or Ghent for meetings, and you could see the tyre marks all around the loading areas where the 'drivers' treat the cars like toys on and off the boat. I'd imagine after countless A4 diesels, when there's an RS4 on the boat, there's a queue of keen eastern europeans ready to drift it around every corner possible
My dealer told me that based on an early March build, it should arrive mid to late April, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see judging by your situation
