Audi produces 1,400 of the cars per day at the plant, its largest, so will lose 5,600 vehicles this week. A fire at a supplier making firewall insulation had disrupted parts deliveries, a spokeswoman told Reuters on Monday.

Production of additional A4 and A5 cars at Neckarsulm had not been affected.
