Dec17/Jan18 Production 'Emissions Issue' Register of Those Affected

What if no acceptable fix? Do you cancel, etc? It's a list of who is affected, orders count the same as if it's sat at the dealer as the person ordering is relying on the vehicle being delivered in a reasonable timescale. Consumer law is based on a product being fit for purpose & delivered.
 
My dealer says the car is on hold at D’Ieteren import in Brussels. How can I know this for sure? Another dealer told me ‘your car is probably still in Germany’... How do you all know the building time? I ordered in may ‘17 and delivery was planned for 30/11/2017!! Monday is planned time +25% (spare time in order contract); so now I ‘ll ask the dealer for a new date to count on. Compared to you all I am waiting the longest time???
 
How can a car thats not even build cause emmissions ?
Where do they fill up , Tesco or premium brands?
If it's a list of Cali's orderd and not yet deliverd the title needs change , it's about making a list with Cali's on hold due the emmission problems ...

It's obvious that if they don't change the software or modify the car in any other way all cars built after the date they discovered the emission problem will suffer the same problem.. If it can be solved with software update there is no reason to delay the building of cars on order maybe but if they have to change parts it is another story.
The building and delivery date they give is not very reliable. On the website https://www.myvolkswagen.be (I am in Belgium) even today there is a page with the status of my order as follows
ordered :28/10/2015, in production :3/3/2016, estimated delivery:2/3/2016. Even VW cannot deliver a car before it is built .. The car is actually delivered 17/2/2016 ..2 weeks before it went in to production.o_O
 
I would love to see a screenshot of this. It will confirm my suspicions of why VW are so unresponsive. Their resources have obviously been channeled into the development of time travel. Road travel is so yesterday!!
 
Went on live chat today to see if there was any news on our 150ps manual California Ocean (build week 49 - 4th December - built and held at factory). Imagine how shocked I was to be told by Ismahil that my confirmed build week is week 7 - 12th February!!! No record on the system of my original vehicle. No communication received from VW or dealer. Seems to have vanished into thin air!!! What IS going on???

Free "upgrade" to 150 DSG?

That’s what I was thinking after following this thread but I’ve had no communication regarding any change. Perhaps they are hoping I won’t notice . . .

If it is the case that your manual is to be replaced with a DSG, and you are happy with that, you might just have a tactical advantage in negotiating freebees from VW.

Make out that DSG is the last thing you wanted, but that you would settle for [a five year service package, an extended warranty, a bike rack, £500 in California Club Shop discount vouchers] delete as appropriate, by way of compensation.

Looks to me that there are enough delayed Ocean orders here to form the basis of a bulk purchase discount negotiation with Mercedes for a fleet of Marco Polos! ;)

Yep, delivered before it was manufactured! Time travel has been achieved by VW but not perfected, otherwise dieselgate and other misdemeanours would have been 'corrected'! :)

It would have been more impressive if it was delivered before you ordered it!!!!!
 
Hi I have been told by my dealer that my van is built but will be held at the factory indefinetly until volkswagon can sort out the problem of which they are in able to disclose. They said all carrevelles and californias are affected with no idea if and when they can resolve this problem.

20. Burnercan, Switzerland: Beach 150DSG 4M ordered 09.Oct. Supposedly scheduled for build week 9. Though I fear the dealer is full of beans, I'm a firm believer that "in order to lie, one must first know the truth". I don't think he does...
 
Update on 4. Cwtch_twt 150 TDi manual Ocean.
We have been informed that our original van (built week 49 - built and held at the factory) has been “disposed of” and has automatically been reordered as a DSG. Now have build week 7.

Have you told them that you particularly wanted a manual and you are deeply disappointed that your dream vehicle is not going to be the dream you had hoped it would be?
