T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
Fair enough - as long as you're sure.
Just to try and make some of you who are still waiting feel a little better.
we ordered our van in February 2021. It arrived with the disability conversion company in November 2021. They told is that they would start work on 4th Jan 2022 and it would be ready in 6 to 8 weeks max.
well guess what, we are still waiting. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving……no, sorry, I mean it’s the van that never arrives. LOL

Why don’t you wander down to the dealers and go and take a note of the VIN number (take a photo with date stamp) that is clearly visible in the front window. Then compare this with your van when you arrive. If it’s the same then pay them the money, collect the van, take it home and then threaten to shame them publicly unless they refund you the price increase that they falsely forced upon you.
Fingers crossed that the dealer is telling you the truth.
That 80l tank will now seem like a VERY expensive option lol

Around 14% more expensive to fill than a 70l tank, but, strangely, you get 14% more fuel for your money.
I don’t need to, I’ve got the van now, picked it up on Saturday but it was my van I saw. To be fair they did seem very busy so I guess they were just trying to buy some time to get all sorted.
I just had a very unexpected email from the dealer telling me that my van has been built and left the factory. It was confirmed build for week 11 but after hearing nothing at the end of that week I presumed the worst given they have shut the factory. I can only assume they are maybe running a skeleton staff finishing off current builds or something. A little hope for anyone with the same build week or earlier.
Email also said they have only had 4 vans that have reached that stage.

I contacted my dealer yesterday. He had no real update on my order placed in October 2021. He said to expect it around Autumn this year based on what they have been receiving, but admitted its a lottery depending on options selected and what shortages they have between now and then. Current problem options are apparently electric tailgates and side assist. I've got the latter .
I was considering swapping to a Multivan or even an ID Buzz hoping the queue would be smaller, but he said not to bother as he's not expecting any orders for these to be fulfilled within 12 months.

Ordered mine last November and told it could be up to a year. I’ve had 2 letters from vw saying things are further delayed due to Putin’s attack! I believe the wiring looms are made in Ukraine.
@Casual1874 ordered his van way back in May 2020 and got it in March 2021 mate, so he probably doesn't frequent this thread any more.
I'm guessing you were told "up to a year" before Putin decided to demonstrate to the world how small his penis is. Sad to say, but I suspect you could be waiting a whole lot longer than a year.
Had mine on order since June 2021 got a call this morning saying build date now 2nd week of May was supposed to have been last week but due to putin its moved then dealer tells me vw have put the price up by 2k even though its been ordered since then and apparently nowt I can do about it anyone else had this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well then I had call from main dealer today there has been a meeting at vw HQ and anybody with vans on order up to The 31st March will not have to pay any extra or any price increase any thing ordered after that will pay more
I presume you mean that price protection will be honoured for any van delivered on/ before 31 March, or do you really mean vans ordered on/ before 31 March? There's a big difference between the two and, up to now, it has been that former that has been communicated by other dealers.
When did you order? I ordered my LWB Sportline with only bigger fuel tank as an extra on 28th June ‘21
