T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
Not just the price to consider - if you change the order after receiving a build date, you'll lose your place in the queue (according to my dealer).
All that is crap, all the Sportlines have Towbar prep as standard. You can buy a westfalia Towbar no problem at all.
It’s just they are not prioritising your van, other markets / variants are more important.

Tomato / Tomata - if you've ordered a van with a tow-bar and VW are prioritising tow-bar stock for others' vans, then the tow-bar is causing you a delay. No?

Well I can safely say it was worth the 9 month wait, I feel lucky to have had a (relatively) transparent experience with order and delivery process after stalking this thread since April last year. Was originally given a Q1 delivery estimate which turned out to be bang on as it arrived at the dealers on 15 Feb and I picked up on Saturday (despite Eunice doing her best to stop me!)! Tried not to hassle the dealership too much and to be fair they were great. It did go in for a build week in Nov 21 which got my hopes up but that was swiftly changed to Jan 22 which managed to stick. Build to delivery was slightly quicker than the expected 4 weeks too. Going by other posts I think my timeline was helped due to the relatively simple spec...
6.1 T30 Kombi SWB 2.0 TDI 150 Highline DSG
Deep Pearl Black
1+1 in front both with swivel
2+1 in back
Leatherette
Only purchases so far are rugs for bugs mats and Inka waterproof covers for back seats (dog and 8 month old!). Going to slow time convert myself with sound dead, insul, carpet, leisure batt and with something similar to a forty winks kombi bed. Should keep me busy this year at least.
Hang in there guys that are getting tired of waiting, you'll forgot all about it when you pick your van up.

Yeah the description suggests they are mostly black doesn't. These are the Palladium Black/Titanium anyway. The back of them, the sides, the headrests and the arms are black Really happy with the finish, feel really nice and I'm looking forward to the covers coming from Inka so I can protect them.
I'll leave this thread alone now so I don't irritate those still waiting!
Enjoy!
I ordered from there last March. Pure grey. LWB. 4 Motion. 204 DSG...... And other bits. Still no news of mine. The wait continues for some of us. All the best with your new van.
Arrived end of last week - From order to delivery 8 months and 15 days which is pretty miraculous all things considered.
Feel incredibly lucky and very fortunate, it was absolutely worth the wait.
Went to have a look at her today in the VW compound. Keeping it off the road until beginning of March for that 22 plate to kick in.
Next stop, Skyline, to have it's Skylow poptop fitted, then onto the converters!

BREAKING NEWS! A provisional build week has come back after months and months and months and months and months(need I go on?!) of waiting with no news at all.
So, slightly positive atm. Prov build week 14 (4th April) after a mid March order with two unconfirmed build weeks back in the day which soon disappeared.
204 4m PV DSG with list of additions.
Am I sceptical --definitely maybe!

Dreams do come true! Hope you get it soon!
After ordering my 4 motion 199 in Dec 2020 it is on it's way and I should see it in April.
I am in Australia so it's a long boat trip. Had a long list of accessories added so that didn't
help. As soon as it arrives I can empty my work shop with all the bits I got to fit to it.
Also will be contacting Steve CRS about shocks. What are people lowering height wise with 18" wheels? I am thinking 50-55mm.

Had an update today that my order is status 38 so at the port in Emden. Shouldn’t be too long now hopefully.
Mine was sat there for 27 days! Hope yours is quicker.
