Oh wow...you've been there done that..almost. It is quite pathetic they cant keep tabs on a 50K vehicle.
I hope you hear soon...Maybe VW should start to give 'Status' once the vehicle arrives in the Uk......but then again..
T6.1 new order delays

I hope you hear soon...Maybe VW should start to give 'Status' once the vehicle arrives in the Uk......but then again..
Mine seemed to change around the '15' month mark so hang in there..although I still don't have possession yet!
@V8markie has a Sportline on Order from JCB Ashford and I have one on order from JCB Sittingbourne. My year anniversary is tomorrow (28th June 21 ordered). Might give them a call tomorrow for a laugh…..As my order is now over 13 months old, I decided to chase my dealer for an update. Alas, I got the same response from him as I did when I last chased him back in December: "your order status is '00'!"
When I challenged him, recounting the experience of others on this forum who've had multiple provisional build weeks and multiple times they've reverted to status '00', he claimed that was the same with my order, but that they just didn't bother informing their clients of provisional allocations, as they were meaningless and provided false hope.
In a way, this was encouraging news - I'm in no worse position than anyone else on this thread- but I don't really know if the dealer was just saying that to appease me, or whether it's the truth. Does anyone else here have an order outstanding with JCB Van Centre in Ashford, Kent and, if so, do they keep you informed when your order moves to status '10' (provisional build week allocated), or do they not bother?
Also, is there anywhere online where I can check my order status for myself?
As a footnote, he did day that orders are starting to come through now, which adds to the narrative on this thread that things are starting to move now. He said he thought my order wouldn't be much longer, but declined to offer a delivery estimate - so, that comment is not worth the paper it isn't written on!
Yeah, you gotta laugh, otherwise...
Mine was a 199 4 Motion Kombi every box ticked ordered 02/02/21 after 15 months over £4000 increase I finally picked up from JCB Ashford end of May 22, the only communication was me chasing JCB (Laura) only to be told nothing to report or Karen from Autobid giving me a generic monthly email with no build date as of yet!!As my order is now over 13 months old, I decided to chase my dealer for an update. Alas, I got the same response from him as I did when I last chased him back in December: "your order status is '00'!"

They contacted me 6 weeks before delivery to say it had gone in to build but didn't offer any guarantees due to availability of parts!!
Until I drove the Van off the forecourt I just didn't believe anything that was said the whole Journey was P155P00R! from start to finish,
Then the journey got better as soon as I hit the M20.....
Hang on in their you haven't got long to push,
Garv.
When was you informed of the £4000 price increase?

Good Afternoon
You may have been made aware by Auto E Bid that VW have increased the price for all orders that have not been fulfilled by 31st March. This means that you vehicle will be subject to a price increase of £4057
We have a confirmed build date from VW in relation to your vehicle, this is build week of week 15 which is week commencing 11th April. Please find attached a letter from them regarding this. However, they have confirmed the price increase is fixed until your new vehicle arrives
