Hi you don’t spec the warranty
You buy it in the dealership when picking up you new van or within 3 months of buying it but it’s only available when buying brand new un registered California’s

I noticed this and I am slightly confused as you appear to be. I have just double checked and it does indeed state "1 year follow-on warranty, max. 160 000 km", so perhaps it is 4 years as standard? As with many details we will just have to wait!

Don’t forget in Europe the standard VW warranty is 2 yrs.
In the U.K. it is 3 yrs. from what I gather, 2 yrs from VW and 1 from the Dealer/VWUK.

The German brochure has far more detail than the UK "flyer". Google translate offers some insight in to what you get as standard and a lot of goodies that we cannot order! See link below.

that and the nice two tone colours! I had to do a double take when I saw the candy white/ascot grey in the configurator . White up top, dirty white down the bottom.. I'm sure it'll look nicer in the flesh but still.. it's a bit bland. The light silver and blue/red combo looks great and I would have gone for that if it'd been an option. I'll just stick with candy white and maybe get it wrapped in the future...if VW ever get back to me with a price on a T6.1Even though it seems to be in all the brochure images (and YouTube vids), it looks like the inductive charging pad, next to the DSG gear lever, is an option which we cannot order in the UK

We like the silver and blue two-tone. At first we though we would order a silver van and wrap the bottom half, but I do not like just having a silver van if we didn't wrap. So now we are going with starlight blue and might get the top half wrapped silver, if not I like the starlight blue on it's own.
Agree with you on the white and dull grey two-tone, it will look like you haven't washed your bottom (half)!

No I was tempted but not seen it in the flesh only on the laptop....so stuck with The candy white it’s safer and can be a good base for two tone

Yes, This is exactly the reason.
All the manufacturers are doing it to reduce the number of tests required so they resort to packages. Basically reduces the number of permutations as every configuration has to be tested now not just a generic model designation.

Ok, so this video will not help you decide on your options, and yes it is VW's marketing machine in full swing, but it helps me get through the dark winter months of waiting for our T6.1. I know, it is pure cheese.

That our German cousins seem to enjoy the English language in their popular songs is well illustrated here.

I have pretty much worn out every video on 6.1 on the net
I need something new to watch

Yep, I have watched every different language video of the same Canadian Cali reviews! I guess there will be no new content until the vehicles start arriving at the dealers and VW UK HQ.I have pretty much worn out every video on 6.1 on the net

So originally we had ordered Woodstock wheels, I asked to change these to Aracuja wheels but have found out today that apparently the Aracuja wheels are no longer on the configurator. Seems strange as they are shown in the brochure! So either 17" Devonports or 17" Woodstocks, unless you go 18" - which I don't want to.

That’s a real shame I thought they were the best out of the 17s ,,but I wasn’t wanting just plain silver wheels though.... the Woodstock are not my cup of tea so I went for the 18s Palmerstons really happy with my choice...
there a very nice looking wheel.i did originally fancy the valdivia with them being new to the 6.1 but you can’t pick these because there not on the configuratior just in the brochure missed out on 4season tyres now though so that’s my next purchase..only recently just before ordering the 6.1 sold my 17”steels with 4seasons fitted?

After not hearing from our dealer for weeks, we found out today that our T6.1 Ocean order has been approved by VW! I think we got a great deal..basically the same discounted price that we'd agreed on the original T6 before it got cancelled. Now starts the long wait...

Wow
That’s fantastic congratulations
You will probably own it a year before it even starts to depreciate .

I posted this on another post yesterday - maybe this post would have been better - it is an export of the 6.1 specs from the website with a spot the difference between coast and ocean: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/coast-6-1-or-ocean-6-1.32112/post-387997

Interested in the 80ltr option for fuel tank. But wonder what you miss out on if you spec that one? Do you loose any storage space or ability to hold a full size spare wheel??

Ah, a good question - I am hoping I will still have a full sized spare! Normally on the confuserator if an option negates another choice then it tells you the impact. I do not remember the 80l tank causing any issues. For the small amount of money I thought it a useful addition. Too late for me to change now though...
Jay20cali
Not too worry it doesn’t change anything it’s almost under the front seats so it won’t affect your spare or your storage
