New T6.1 order delays

[andyinluton]

Wow, you got your van with an engine cover! Looks far better than without it.. Anyone else have it?

Having just opened the bonnet for the first time on the new van, I was somewhat surprised to find it had an engine cover. Our previous 199 T6.1 didn't have it.
I wonder if its part of the acoustic pack?

Doubt it, just a bonus for the 204PS motor.

I put one on my T6 and noticed no difference inside, Hides the jungle of pipework.

Think the Caravelle has them as standard?

We have one on our 150 PS 6.1.

Our Sept 2022 Ocean T6.1 150ps doesn't have any engine covers. Looks a right rats nest under the bonnet...;-)

Pics? So exciting isn’t it.

You can now change your ‘vehicle’ in your personal info!

4 Motion and both 150 and 204PS engines back on the menu in Germany. I guess that was just a temporary supply chain issue that cause the 4Mo to be dropped.

Our MY23 T6.1 Ocean has the engine cover. Our previous MY19 T6.0 has no cover does not.

Thats because you have a 204. 150's are shipped without a cover. Another cost cutting effort to save a couple of euros.

Glad to save the euro's and the plastic. What is the purpose of a cover?

Keeps the engine bay tidy. It's a fairly small cover so I can't think of any other benefits.

Fitted one on my T6 and no noticeable sound effect, just hides the myriads of pipes etc.
A part that car engines have as standard. I did see that it was standard fit on Caravelle models.
