I will say, the ordering part has been a very frustrating process. I expected more from a premium auto manufacturer. My completion date was April 26. Port delivery date June 6. Couldn't get an answer why it takes 6 weeks to get to Toronto. Good news is I received an email from my dealer advising me that the car arrived in Toronto on May 20. They still don't know when they will receive it.
Looking forward to the end of the saga and into the new Q5.

I find it hard to believe that a "quality check" could not be done before the vehicles left the factory or at a local dealership with trained techs. Is Audi sending techs to the port and do they have a garage with the diagnostic computers available. Its BS.

Could be gov't safety/regulatory related checks, i.e. daytime running lights, emissions and safety, certification, etc. Still sucks!

Hi guys, so the hold is in place by Audi Canada and not the dealers, hence the lack of information. Apparently they need to change some parts and all of the Q5 lot is grounded. That doesn't sound good at all.

Frustrating indeed.
The person (my source) has been fairly reliable in terms of timeline estimates and updates. I think we need to escalate to Audi Canada. I will drop them an email to express my frustration.
