Comm Number

Post by geebee » Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:38 am

Ordered my RS4 in Feb.

Told build week was week 22/23 (first week June) and delivery to Australia in week 33 (early August).

Rang dealer today and all he cld tell me was my comm number (318815) and no info about where car is in production schedule.

Surely the dealer shd know more than this ?
Is this typical for other Aussies on the forum ?

Can anyone at a Dealership help me with any more info ??

Thanks in advance.

Is your car a saloon or Avant, some saloons were scheduled for week 22 in right hand drive but were delayed for a few weeks, the way the system works, nothing shows up until the car actually starts to be built. It can then be tracked through the various build stations until showing as shipped........ at which point it will get lost for a while!

Funny you should say that. Same thing is happening to mine. Got updates all through the build. Then got an update that it was on its way to port. Then the last to updates were awaiting shipment. Now my dealer cant find any updates on it :(

Mine is now showing the Waiting to be shipped status......... I expect the next thing I will hear is that the car is on the forecourt, dealer says no more than two weeks away..........

Stage 3 means its a car....... as in a shell, 4 is fitted body panels, 5 is paint, 6 is interior fitting, 7 is Gmbh engine and trans and suspension etc........ then back to Ingolstat for final inspection, I would say the car will be finished by the end of next week.............

Seems the time delay from waiting to be shipped to arriving at dealers varies from a week to a month, but the system should be updated when the car is loaded onto a boat. Not going to wait for 65 reg this time, just going to get it asap... am looking forward to getting it, just hope the first owners are not going to be doing R & D for Audi as we did with the B5.....

I think they were all well documented, gearbox failures, chronic wind noise at rear doors, bent wheels, centre arm rest ratchet failures just to name a few.... oh and leaky oil coolers..........

At least they have problems documented would have been worst for you guys if you received and then had to go back. Dealers ! I am sure all will be ok - I suppose the dealers are not giving freebies to ease the pain!
