New T6.1 order delays

[VanHelsing]

News from dealer today, after I emailed - scheduled build date now showing as 9th May (so week 19?). Jun ‘21 order, Ocean 150, no tow bar. Quiet optimism is the general feeling now, touch wood etc etc.

Fingers crossed!
I think i’ll do the same, 150 Ocean ordered 04/2021, last I heard from the dealer was “early May” but I doubt that now - I asked for a few weeks warning before it arrives to allow me to get the current van on sale - and have heard nothing

Received this afternoon:

Hi David,

Just wanted to let you know that your new California has now been shipped. I will either see the vehicle end of next week or the beginning of the week after.

California Coast - Forest Green, reversing camera, panoramic canvass roof, tinted glass.

Forest Green?!

Forest Green?!

Bay leaf Lol

My build week 9 ocean is now at a UK port so I should have possesion in the next few weeks. Which would bring it in at a 12 month lead time.

Quick question on pick-up - do VW provide any short term insurance or do I need to arrange this prior to collection?

204 Ocean here. Ordered October 2021 and just had a build week of 27. No idea whether that will move but I imagine it will.

Same - ordered a 204 Ocean in October and have a provisional build week of 25.

Yes 5 days....Your dealer will give you the number prior to collecting to arrange insurance.

Is that up to date information based on a factory update this week?
Interested as I ordered a 204 4motion early September

Thought you had a private line to VW...

Do any of you read the “T6.1 new order delays” thread on the T6 forum? Their orders are also received / delayed in random orders e.g. One van was ordered in August 2021 and delivered in Feb 2022, whereas another has been waiting over 400 days and just been told it’s going to cost an extra £3.5k I guess part of that will also be down to different specs, but still, that’s never right.

We are waiting to hear back from our dealer, as recent updates in this thread suggest our August order (Ocean 204) now has a provisional build date that is later than October orders for similar vans.

Yes, I also read the T6 forum updates, it seems they are waiting longer than California orders in most cases.

Latest update from Liverpool is that they are seeing movement in vans however nothing concrete from VW themselves.....

I had a call from the dealer to tell me this last week.

My order(204ps 4Motion Ocean) was placed on June 2021, now nothing updates

if its anything like the short term insurance you get for other makes or for new pets or whatever, you will be bombarded relentlessly with them trying to get you to continue their over expensive insurance. I will never take short term insurance 'free' offers again. It's free for a reason, they basically get your details. Just make a phone call to get covered for one day on your existing cover, then deal with it when you get home, that's what I did. Good luck.

I'd give your existing broker a call. You'll probably find that you are already covered for a short period.

your 4motion is a 3 months ahead of mine - I'll be watching you with interest.. SMG Tonbridge?

 

[cableboy]

Just had an update on my Coast ordered Sep 2021 ... Confirmed week 14, expected to start production shortly.

Its possible the cover will mainly cover 3rd Party. Better read the small print before making an expensive mistake.

Yes

 

[markheathcote]

Yes

ah, that will be Matt then. He promised me a youtube interview when I get 500 subscribers - haha, I am going to hold him to that.

Yes, it's matt, I've asked many times before, I don't want to ask anymore, just hope one day he will suddenly tell me a good news

I think he watches these threads. Matt, please give Steven some good news.

 

[M88GAV]

Yes

Hmmm I ordered from SMG early Sept 21. So judging by your post, I’ve still got quite a wait ahead of me
