T6.1 new order delays

Here is a thought....quite a few of us have full sets of OEM wheels tucked away in the shed, under the bed, propping up fences, we could lease them back to VW to get new vans on the transporter and to the dealers. :thumbsup:

Nice thought. Perhaps VW should buy them off folks!
 
Mines been delayed again. Ordered October 2021 although I think the dealer didn't have the allocation. Was going to be September, now not sure.

I ordered in December, (ACT) and best advice I can get is maybe first quarter next year - more likely second quarter - I do worry about the extras we added complicating the timing but dont want to risk touching whatever place we may have in a que to change it ... Seems to be waiting is the only option

Very similar situation for me , on the bright side it’ll be a 23 registered and not a 24

What did you order?
 
Does anyone know when in the month VW send updates to their dealers or is it a fairly random event?

The reason I ask is that last June (almost exactly 12 months ago) I ordered a VW campervan conversion (based on a LWB 204PS 4Motion DSG HighlineTransporter with LED headlamps, diff lock, tow bar, etc.) through Hillside Leisure. It was originally scheduled for build last December, then January, then May with the last update (on May 11) with an order status of 10 and an estimated build date in Week 29 (18 July 2022). Given VW's appalling communications record it's probably a fairly pointless exercise chasing Hillside when they may not have heard anything themselves from VW but it would be good to hear of any progress towards my van rolling down the assembly line.
 
I think its up to the dealer to look on VW's system to check progress rather than the other way round from what i'm lead to believe Captain. My 204 4M PV HL ordered mid March '21, with the same additions to yours (apart from the camper conversion) has been 'in build' for 3 weeks now with no update as yet.:(
 
By coincidence, I've just had an email about my order from Hillside Leisure who've been in touch with the supplying VW dealer. It seems the estimated build date has been brought forward by one week now to Week 28, but the current order status still remains at 10.

That's slightly annoying as from week 31 any van built will be a Model Year 23 which I think I would prefer. As the conversion wouldn't be ready to use for much if any of this season, waiting three extra weeks wouldn't make much difference now and could have a silver lining. I'm almost past caring now though.
 
Got to speak to dealer this week and cancel ours, shame as was told its July/August build. Gone old and bought a moho.
150 highline, leds, tailgate etc.
Was going to have it and sell it on but seems there is quite a lot of dealer stock around.
 
OMG… the best news today after 15 months of being on this thread and the VW rollercoaster which has finally stopped at my station!
It’s built and left the factory so may be at the dealership end of the month… just when I’m on holiday!
What could possibly… I’m not even gonna say it! ;)
 
Great news Ricardo, I’m at 14 months now and thought it could be any day so phoned the dealer. Nope! a new provisional build date week 33.
