Hi folks, I've downloaded a recent checklist (many thanks GrumpyGrandad!) and read through a few older threads but just wanted to ask what the most common approach is to checking the EHU/Gas/Water systems. I'm assuming these are mostly done at home after the vehicle has been collected. I'm happy to do this but with the increasing use of brokers like DTD the trips to collect are time consuming and expensive and discovering an issue which could/should have been dealt with by the dealer would be a real pain!

I agree it’s best to discover any issues at the dealership when you collect but you can go to any van centre for fault resolution under your warranty. Happened to me with the infamous rear bench seat issue. Collected mine from Eurovans in Crawley but had the repair done by Citygate, Wooburn Green.

If you are expecting the Dealership to carry out a PDI check on the Camping facilities, then please be assured they don’t. There is No PDI on the gas, water systems, the Leisure electrics or the roof, nor rear bench movement. They only check the vehicle mechanicals.

Thanks for that (and the checklist). I'm picking up from Eurovans myself - a long trip from Derbyshire.

Thanks WelshGas. I thought as much but I'm still surprised and a little disappointed at the general level of 'we'll leave it with you' when picking up a 50-60k product...

Mine came with a gas regulator but not a gas valve (the thing that screws onto the bottle and to which is screwed the regulator). Not picked up by the dealer, though he said they subsequently had more new vans missing the valve. Oh and they are still trying to pursue VW about the missing insect screens for the sliding windows. At time of order they said they'd be included, but the 6.1 sliding windows are a new design and apparently VW have yet to produce screens that fit.

They’re not an option on the 6.1, at least not yet. Supposed to be coming soon.....

Anyone got a definitive list as to what you don't get on a T6.1 that you would have on earlier models?

By my reckoning its:
Front cab curtain (now built in blinds)
Rear cup holders
Sliding Window flyscreens
towel rail.

What about the bin for the door pocket?

Can anyone think of anything else?

Also if the dealer has specified the tyre inflation kit in lieu of a spare wheel, do you still get the toolkit attached to the back of the bench seat on an ocean?

I thought the flyscreen was available by 2020 year end?

I can confirm you do get the Bin in the door pocket and the tool kit is in the back of the bench seat, they are both in my 6.1 Coast.

No bin in the door pocket of my Ocean (MY21).

This why we need an update - if we don't know what a van is supposed to come with, what chance has a dealer got?

 

[Algor]

I had to go and check (the inside of my Cali is wet now lol), this is it isn't it?

If you are missing it, I will swap you mine for your electric roof.
