Has anyone ordered Jan/Feb MY19?

[MartG]

me too, nice! What covers are they?

Thanks all for the compliments. The covers are from the club shop - https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/shop/p...seat-covers-for-vw-california-ocean-red-black
Really good quality and easy enough to put on. They tie in nicely with the red Cali, red dash, black carpets and we're planning black alloys at some point...

My Cali is now at the dock in Bremen?
Any ideas on how long now till delivery at Bury st Edmunds commercial?

Bremen? not Emden?

Hi @MartG ive just re read the dealer email and it does not say a Port (so no idea where i got Bremmen from) - think your right from reading other posts it’s Emden.
Hopefully here before 21/6

 

[MartG]

VWCS told me that the car can stay at port for a max 14 days, so you should certainly get before 21st. The Emden - Immingham boat runs 3x a week, not sure what the Emden - Sheerness schedule is but should be just as regular... Then off up to Scotland?

Yes we are going on 21st . Was told we would have van way before this but hey ho and all that.
If ours doesn’t arrive on time dealer has said they will provide a van for hols as a good will gesture- so fingers crossed.
Where are you planning your first trip?

Excellent - pretty full-on...
StAndrews is not far from us, nice beach and town centre...

Generally if it's wet in the West, East is fine and vice versa... Hope it dries up as it's been heavy rain the past week here.
That's a good result if your dealer is loaning a Cali, but hopefully you'll be using yours...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's at dealers within a week and ready by 15th... There seemed to be a slight delay between van movement and code updates with ours. Exciting times...

Hi Ian
My dealer is pretty good with weekly updates once it went into build.
Between my order and provisional build week and then to build commencing there were long gaps of nothing which seems fairly normal.
Oh and there is always a drama emissions, B****t or in my case a component check , that will cause a delay - though some lucky blighters seem to have a really quick ordering process

 

[Jabberwocky]

Recent experience?
I ordered 17/04/19. When do you think I could/should get a provisional build week?

I would have thought you'd have your build week by now... My build week was 5 weeks after the order, I think I had the provisional date after the dealer placed the order (within 1 week of ordering). Chase up your dealer!

Interesting. I chased my dealer only this week (Tuesday) to be told no news, which was what prompted my post.

Agree with @MartG you should have heard by now - however IMHO it would be a Cali if there wasn’t a drama somewhere in the order process.
Here a list of build codes from a previous thread.
