New T6.1 order delays

[Corradobrit]

I don't think it had anything to do with it. What did you order and do you have a lead time?

I ordered a Coast Edition 199 4Mo DSG with tow bar, pano bellows, heater, rear camera, FR sensors, wood effect floor and a bunch of minor options not included in the Edition Pack.

Had multiple lead times. Initially Sept last year, then Nov/Dec, then April/May. I'm expecting additional delays at this point.

Out of interest who’s been waiting the longest for an Ocean in the UK? Any orders from early 2021 still waiting?

Ocean 150 + Tow Bar ordered June 4th 2021. January update showed March build. Then went to status 0 when factory closed and no change since.

I ordered a 204 4M Ocean in late June 2021. Whilst I haven't had any kind of update regarding build/delivery, I have got it in writing (e-mail) from the van centre that "if the end of June comes and goes, your price will be staying the same". Hope this helps to reassure you !?

Just out of interest, did you get a decent discount at time of order? Just wondering if the dealer is absorbing the increase?
However, I do think VW will honour the quoted price if ordered before November 21.

@Corradobrit and @Peter84,​

We ordered a 199/204PS 4 motion ocean at mycalifornia.nl on oktober 2, 2020 (not 2021) also, which was supposed to arrive in feb 2021 and we are still waiting. It had a delivery date of march 3 2022 at the dealer, but that date was missed and then the war started. Maybe we should contact each other?

My email is: ernst-jan at laan888.nl, replace the ' at ' by +

Seems such a long time ago now that I honestly can't remember how much the discount was ! But I do know that I got one. However, I definitely remember that they helped to 'persuade' me to place an order that day (21 June 2021) as they said that there was a price increase due in July, and ordering that day would avoid it. So I did !

Hi all.

Do you have to phone the dealer to get an update on build slot & delivery date, or can you view it online?

Ordered in July 2021 & still no news of a build slot.

Many thanks.

Ring or email your dealer for the update. VW Chat online no longer provides the information. I was told that this was a decision made by the factory.

Hi there, I am in exactly the same situation as you.

I think it’s something like Mallaca Highway into Sheerness for southern dealers.

 

[Jimbologo7409]

Thanks , the Dealer is in midlands so maybe it comes into Grimsby ?

Just keep an eye on vehicle carrier departures to Grimsby

I've had a few as you can imagine! The latest is end of April....
...I'm hopeful that means THIS year!

204 4 motion Ocean ordered 28th July 21, did have unconfirmed build week 17, then ‘May‘, today’s update now status 0, build week 0 due to factory closure. One day…

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.

So you'll get MY23 then? Supposed to start from week 25 onwards right?

According to Caliboard.de in MY23 the fabric of the roof tent will change. Not sure how reliable this source is however

That doesn’t seem too bad . We ordered a 204 Ocean in August and were recently told build week 28, which as you say, will probably move.

Oh interesting. I was talking to a friend just the other day about a previous recall on Cali’s to replace the pop top fabric, and apparently the replacement fabric was quite see-through Not sure when this was though, as their van is around 8 years old now (and they still love it).

Was that after a factory update to VW dealers this week?
