T6.1 new order delays

[BuilderJay]

Your in the same boat as me mate. I’m using my daughters dog walking van for work (Pug Partner) which is too small for me and also my daughter needs the van on the odd day she’s not working at the kennels. Basically I’m losing money as don’t get paid if I’m indoors. Bad times

Just been advised mine is now Status 20, with build week 27. (Previous estimate was Week 35, so things may be moving a little quicker.) Dealer tells me there's typically a 3-4 week lag in actuality, so late July looks realistic at present. Allowing for shipping and PDI etc., should hopefully be with the converter mid-August, with completion late September. Dealer further states that there is a general improvement, and more vehicles are arriving, although not necessarily in accordance with original order dates.

VW really ought to consider using an alternative delivery service to Hermes!

Mine took exactly 5 weeks from status 20 to collecting from dealer last thursday

seems as though the typical waiting time is around 14 months with a few odd anomalies of people getting some fortunate earlier dates. Although it seems like its never going to come, sit tight and it will come!! and it will be totally worth the wait!!

Im on 15 months atm...status 20 was 6 weeks ago and I've been notified it was at Emden last week, but nothing else since...hoping ill hear something this week.

I'm wondering if mine was on the same boat. Discussion with dealer this afternoon revealed it was in the UK and he will be emailing with a choice of reg nos tomorrow.... Still not getting excited just yet

Aye, our man is being particularly elusive when it comes to price stating he needs to see the paperwork accompanying the van before he can confirm anything.

Maybe mate...I didn't know a choice of new reg numbers was a thing offered.

Depends on dealer I suspect. Ask them if you can pick one from a list; that's all I did but have yet to see if it actually happens.

That's bad form.

Just been advised build week 28, so with me in “mid August-ish”. Price increase £924 inc Vat. Ordered 21Nov21 so much earlier than I expected, and price change not as bad as I feared. 4Motion Highline LWB Candy White.

Now I have to really plan all the conversion long lead time elements (roof and bed) - I was expecting to be doing this over the winter. Lots could change of course.
