Despair or Delight!

Nice one @480bhp collecting mine first thing Wednesday morning so beating you by half a day. Not much conciliation for a 104 day head start and thats not counting my previous order 63 days before that which could not be placed as listed options not available until Euro6 engines released.

Which team are you joining. Team grey for me

I am also joining the @chriscroft well miffed club along with all the other options missed or not released. You would think £7k worth would be enough but the intention was to have it the best I could so I would not be wanting for something for years to come. Too many options and not enough information. Don't you just love VW


Well guess we must do

Team Blackberry for me

Hope the hand over goes well, there's always going to be something better or different just around the corner, so just enjoy what you have, plus it gives you things to change at a later date

To be fair, looking back i wish i'd spec'd a few more things, but despite getting just over 15% off the van i was still on the way to 38k which for a work van is a bit OTT, I reckon i could've got to 40k+ if i'd been more relaxed with the list

Yes take your point about something new coming along, but out of date or old option before you get it is not a good starting place. Not to worry I will just blame this all on the T6Forum as without them I would be none the wiser and got just what I ordered.

Best not to get started on the final price of these things, mine which looks to have similar additions to yours plus folding mirror, aux heater, rear camera, power latching all on a 4Motion Kombi has gone well into the £40k area. Best not to look at what that could by elsewhere. The only small comfort here is just look at what those poor Caravelle and California owners have to shell out

The plot thickens Chris, i spoke to the dealer today and when checking the spec of my van, he just said ACC, i asked which one as there's no obvious way to tell, so he had to call VW to check, mine has got the 130 option fitted as ordered, (code is PAD for the 130 and PAC for the 99) but it has now been removed from the options list for future orders! so all future T6's will have the PAC as you have, the salesman i spoke to today wasn't aware of there ever being 2 options in the first place. (the 130mph option still shows on the Configurator, but it can't be ordered)

I would think it's more likely a software difference, the difference between them, is the 99 option only brakes when the ACC is active, whereas the 130mph option Brakes regardless of whether the ACC is activated or not.

How strange, I wonder what that's all about???
All part of the mysterious world of VW T6 options!!!

It's here

Can't fault the service received at JCT600 in Sheffield

No pics as such yet, just a few i snapped in dealers once the silk cover had been removed (proper unveiling of the van)

Have to admit, if I wasn't team white, I'd be all over that blackberry - its a stunning colour. Good choice @480bhp .
