T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
Yeah, that’s me... and not happy at all; the 33 week is my est based on today’s news of an unconfirmed build in week 15.... maybe they’ll surprise me... but then again.
I ordered on 2nd November & later informed it was build week 51. Got a phone call last Tuesday to say it was on the ship over and when did I want to pickup. I’ve left it for March 1st as it’s going to the conversion company on the 2nd/3rd. That’s not too bad a wait and realistically I could pick it up sooner.
Is anyone on this thread clever enough to create a survey of vehicle models against order date?
I spoke to the company that are supplying my van yet again today and they still said that they simply didn't have a clue and are waiting on updates from VW.
Does anyone know if it certain models/certain extras that are the one subject to these extensive delays? If so, what extras and models are a problem?
(I think this is a p**s in the wind to try to shed some light on when I can expect my van, as if the supplier doesn't know I guess nobody here will have a clue either! JUST SO FRUSTRATED!)
The 33 week thing being mentioned on here makes me hollow inside!
I'm seeing a number of vehicles coming through on this thread that were ordered in September and I'm reaching the point that if I have to wait another 13 weeks or so I shall cancel my order and buy a transit!

Caravelle Exec 199/204 4wd ordered 10th Sept, still no build date or expected arrival. Getting a bit impatient, quoted 16 to 20 weeks at order.

I ordered in the middle of September for a 199 kombi (not 4motion) and just been told to expect delivery in May. I have every option ticked on mine. Dsg is maybe the common item/199 engine

Just to add detail it's a T32 swb
Looks like its the 199/204 engine to me.

Are the delayed ones all t32's
I ordered (with a third party) August 14th. I'm not sure exactly when the order went to VW but mines a T30, 150 DSG with several extras. Looks like huge delays across the board but VW clearly aren't informing customers... Perhaps there are too many combinations to accurately predict a build and delivery time.
Could be supply chain parts issues, with lockdowns affecting so many different countries at different times.
