Shipping times from Emden

[jsav]

Anyone else waiting on new car shipping from Emden. Mine was build week 8 and it's been sat at port awaiting a ship since 20th Feb.
Just wondered what delivery timescales were like, appreciate its busy time of year and dealer can only say it's out of their hands until car reaches them

I'm in the same boat (in a manner of speaking!!) with an A1 for the missus which "left Brussels" over a week ago according to yourAudi. Must have taken the friggin scenic route to Emden via Africa. Where do you see yours is actually in Emden?

Don't know if its relevant but up to a week ago, my own order (RS6) was gradually coming forward on yourAudi from May ending up at "Order received, build due to commence 4th April". Since then message has disappeared with order status simply stating "order received"

It's possible to access the coding behind the info on 'your audi' website to get a bit more detail.

To access the coding behind the GUI you need to log on to Your Audi. The web address that looks like:
'https://www.audi.co.uk/youraudi/youraudi.html#/yourAudi/dashboard/order/2xxxxxxx'


Then paste this into the address bar of the same window;
Salmon - Error report
With your 8 digit order number at the end so it should look like 'https://www.audi.co.uk/myaudi-public-api/services/v1/orders/2xxxxxxx'

If you open another window or tab it won't work.
If succesful you will see a page full of text. look at the first line. There should be an Order Status in there folllowed by a 2 digit number. This is the current status of your car. See below for what the different codes mean.

Order codes:

00 - Welcome
10 - Order Received
20 - Preperation
21 - Panel Shop
22 - Paint Shop
23 - Assembly
24 - Quality Control
30 - Your Audi has left Ingolstadt
38 - At Emden
39 - On the boat
40 - Ready for Transport to the dealer
60 - Left UK Port on the way to the dealer
70 - Arrived at dealer - Call to make your collection plans

Mines been at code 38 since 20th Feb.

Frustrating wait time probably not made any easier knowing it's just sat at port waiting for a ship.

Many thanks for that - much appreciated. I'm at Emden too after apparently leaving the A1 plant (Brussels) on 27.02.16

If you know which ro-ro carriers are normally used by Audi from Emden to Sheerness / Tyne / Grimsby you can monitor Emden port traffic (In port / Scheduled arrivals etc) using AIS on the following link

EMDEN (DEEME) - Port Calls, Departures and Expected Arrivals | AIS Marine Traffic

This might help

Shipping times have been discussed many times on here before. Under their agreement with Audi the shipping company has 10 working days (i.e. 2 weeks) to ship the car from Emden to the UK and there is also a 10 working day window for the car to move from the port of entry to the dealer. There seems to be no logic as to when cars get put on the boat with some cars seemingly sitting there for the full 2 weeks and others only being there for a matter of ours. Certainly not a FIFO system!

My A6 is in Assembly.. I hope yours gets on a boat before mine arrives in the port !

Mine got on a boat today, so that's 2weeks at port. Another week maybe to get to dealer and weeks prep. Should get in next 2-3 weeks.

Mine was ordered on 8th January and I'm picking it up on Wednesday this week. Earlier than I thought, but I'm grateful because I've been paying for a hire car since my brand new Avant was stolen the week before Christmas.
