T6.1 new order delays

Yeah am going for a conversion type spec…Ascot Grey Highline LWB panel van, 150 DSG gearbox, swivel seats, 80l fuel tank, front and rear sensors, rear view camera, LED lights, folding mirrors etc. My intention is actually to convert it to a camper anyway and the plan was to keep hold of it for the next decade or so as the kids grow up. I don’t see EVs working when it comes to campervanning but also cautious about what the future holds for diesel engines really. My daily driver is a plug-in hybrid so I am clearly on the fence when it comes to this debate :D
I've a big spec highline kombi,204 dsg in Ascot,on order,just avvin a mega sports van..but,the pop out rear pod thing appeals too.
 
Had a call from my VW dealer today, my van has been built and is at Emden port awaiting shipping. After a very long 17+ months since ordering it’s finally on it’s way.
Congrats. I hope you find it's been worth the wait :thumbsup:.

Congrats Did you just get a random call saying it’s built and on the way or get updates previously with build dates , just looking for a bit of hope that’s alll haha

I had regular updates from Listers VWCV. I was given an approximate build date 4 weeks ago, so imagine my surprise at the call. It’s taken so long, that the call was a bit of an anti climax. I’m sure that will change once I’m in the drivers seat. I’ve been told that I should have it for September 1st!! That seems like a long time shipping to me. I will update before I say sayonara to this group.

I'm in a very similar position with Listers. They advised me last week that my van is still at Emden, but that the ship doesn't sail until it's full, which makes sense.
 
They're also offering 2 services for £149, which is a no-brainer, as well as a 2 year warranty extension for £399. I think I'll go for both.
Listers of Dulwich are about 3 1/2 hours drive from me, I won’t be having my service carried out there.

Are the services specific to the supplying dealer, or can they be done by any dealer across the network?
