Roof leak model range

[Devaprem]

Hello. Can anyone tell me what the year range within which the leaking roof bellows was happening? I realise that this is a well covered thread but that means that I've not yet found the answer after a lot of browsing. I'm interested in an 2023 California but I want to know if this within that range.

Also, it seems from reading the forums so far, this is not a fault that VW will honour under warranty. Any comments welcome on that.

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before!

Our van is MY22 (delivered Feb 2022) and has the single bellows. Vans from July 2022 (MY23) and onwards may leak (double bellows).

My MY23 Ocean was delivered new in 22 October 2022 with single skin bellows. I believe my factory build in early September 2022 was around two weeks before they changed to the new fabric.

So, anything up to first registration in October 2022 should be the old material but very soon thereafter they may have leaking issues.

As to warranty replacement, the relevant strings on the forum show different responses, so it is a judgment.

Many owners have found ways to work around the problem. The great asset of the forum is it gives knowledge so that a new owner is aware.
