My order went to factory in week 36. Currently aboard the Demeter Leader scheduled to dock in Jacksonville 9/28/15. I'll take final delivery in Orlando. SpeedKeen...have your dealer send you the 3 (sometimes 4) page "Vehicle Details" report. Those are available at the dealer any time.

Hope to have pics to post in a couple of weeks.

My dealer was able to change a stock order to my preference allowing me to get the car sooner is what I have been told. Just happy it was built after everyone came back from vacation shutdown. Wish I could tell where the Adriatic Highway is right now, but a paid subscription is needed for GPS updates. I guess I will know when it is range of Davisville. Kinda fun as it is getting near the finish line.

Car landed at port in Jacksonville today (9/28). Immigration, inspections and then over land transfer to Orlando. Hoping to take delivery by end of next week...is that reasonable (for those of you with more experience with factory orders)?

My car landed in Davisville yesterday 9/28 and I'm hoping I have sometime next week. This week would be great, but probably unrealistic.

I talked to Audi International and they told me they will have a system in place in the next couple of days that checks to ensure our car (2016 A6) meets emissions standards. As you all probably already know, the VW/Audi fiasco is mainly involving the 1.6 or 2.0 liter diesel engines. No need for all of us to check since I'm already getting mine checked, so I'll let you know what I find out in the next few days. Again, he said with 95% confidence that our 3.0 engine is fine, but Audi is making sure on all of their engines.

And of course, anything coming from the lips of VAG people right now has to be completely accurate. Forget the past, this is today. Things are different now. They can be trusted.
He is 99% confident the 3.0TDI is fine. That does leave a 1% hole that he left open. Let's hope that's the truth this time.

Interested to hear what you find out. If the 3.0 will be part of it I may look to cancel my order.

Audi International got back in touch today. They said they just set up a site for German owners to check their engine and see if it is part of the emissions problem. They said it is not known when they will have a similar site for the U.S. Spec cars, BUT our engine in the U.S. is the same as one of the engines in Germany and...drum roll...it is NOT one if the engines that has an emission problem! So, though we have a wait time till our site is set up (you simply put in your VIN # and it tells you if it has a recall for emissions), we know in advance that our 3.0 diesel does not exceed emission standards for the U.S. and Europe. Now I'm back to good ole square one, which is a good place to be - waiting for delivery!

What do you know...they have updated the U.S. Audi recall page as of 2 October. You can enter your VIN # at the following link and check your status for recalls. Audi Recall Services by Vehicle Identification Number

Again, you will see your 3.0 is good to go!

Update...

Car left Emden 10/6, almost a month after production date (9/8). Should be in Halifax 10/16.
