T6.1 Ocean 204 4 motion
Folks. It seems like there‘s a few 204‘s now with a build date. Some however, don’t. I suspect that most of those that don’t, fall into the category of ‘too heavy’ given the new additional engine weight. Some people have been asked to change their spec so that they fall under the weight limit And speaking with VW chat today they confirmed this but what they couldnt confirm were those configurations which would be affected. I’m going to try and work out what the potential pit falls are. If you could post your spec, order date and proposed production date, I might be able to put together the information which VW are struggling to provide i.e. which vans need spec adjusted.

Here’s mine to start:

Main weight adding options will be a physical item, such as .

Tow Bar
80ltr fuel tank (this was dropped from commercial vans when Adblue tank added, van payload is usually financially critical to buyers.

Wheels shouldn't make any difference - no spare included with18" option would offset any added wheel/tyre weight gain.

Towbar fitment after delivery would get around adding this weight but would reduce what can be loaded before Maximum weight reached.

T32 option would solve the issue. T30 is Cali normal.
Many EU Countries have the the T30, 3 tonnes, as a change of Taxation etc. category point. UK has 3.5 tonnes
Sounds like the culprit could be the 80l fuel tank. Sounds like VW are looking to remove the option from the California.
 
Ordered 17 Aug
No build date

similar spec to Dark Ocean except Sage Green

I don’t mind loosing bigger capacity tank just mans you need to fill up more often but Tow is essential as we will be pulling our caravan with it.
 
I notice the 80lt fuel tank is on the latest price list issued early January
 
Just thought I'd check VW chat again today.
In the space of 7 days, gone from provisional build week 10 to 23....now 24 as of today.....oh well. Week commencing June 14th.
'Order Specialist Team' consulted and dialogue was thus:

I can confirm that the engine for your vehicle is still currently being fully upgraded from the 199ps engine to the 204ps engine. This will account for the change in provisional build weeks, but once this process has been completed we expect the build weeks to be brought forward. Regrettably, we don't have a timescale for when this will happen, so I recommend that you keep coming through to us for regular updates.

Exactly the same here. Ordered 11 September.
 
Take a look at my post today after a lengthy discussion on the phone with supposedly a senior representative

NEW T6.1 ORDER DELAYS​

 
This thread was set up to share details of 204 specs. With a specific request to not start a discussion. There is another thread (several in fact) that discuss timings and delays at length.
Please post on that thread unless you are answering the OP’s request for vehicle specs for 204 T6.1. Thank you.
 
Ohops...I am assuming that is directed at me, sorry Alison...I thought at least part of the info I got from my discussions today with VW Commercial was relevant the to this tread.
I will no longer join the discussion here ....sorry about that....best wishes
