T6.1 new order delays

The chip shortage is not just affecting cars and vans, we have fridge freezers on back order and are kicking ourselves for throwing out spare ones, cosmetically damaged but in full working order, which could at least have been short term replacements when one dies. I don't see this as a problem that is going away soon.
Sorry to go off topic, at least some good has come of it then if you're now not throwing away perfectly serviceable but cosmetically imperfect fridges!
 
who have you ordered from? sounds like you have gone through a 3rd party which would explain the delays
Ordering through us is the same as ordering direct from any VW dealer, all retail orders are allocated the same way. Pretty much every vehicle on order has been pushed back.

To try and combat the delays VW has recently cancelled most/all rental/lease comoany orders to prioritise the retail customers

The VW tracking system only seems to track the current and next month accurately which isn’t helping either.

The third part delays as you mention or cancellations were companies who was reselling vehicles on their terms which is against VW regulations.
I have, Oli @ @BognorMotors. I just need to check with him i’m not been pushed as I haven’t ordered direct
As above most if not all orders have been pushed back. I’ll update next week, if VW can be at all accurate for you.
 
Im passing my supplying dealer on Monday so ill call in and have a 'chat' about my order so look forward to speaking face to face for a change with the manager and hear about VW's ordering system and possibly what's happening. Do you think they will have the mince pies and mulled wine out yet? Maybe ill cancel my order and go for a Sportline BE which maybe quicker lol!! ;)
 
Thought as much Oli but thanks for confirming :)

Can’t order the BE anymore. I have some on order though :)
 
Just putting it out there guys don’t know if anyone interested
but spoke to wambam campers yesterday and Martin there has a
t6.1 high line in pure grey with extras coming in next week direct from SMG tonbridge
brand new base van
 
I got an email from VW commercial saying that my new van is currently being built, dealer hasn't confirmed anything yet (waiting to hear). Does that mean it is actually being built? has anyone else had that email? Also booked in with Jerba Campers to get poptop fitted in July 2022 woohoo.

Thats great news @Dorin...hopefully Santa will deliver!?;) That gives the rest of us a glimmer of hope assuming you are not let down.
 
Got the V5 today............. A V5............ For a T6.1............ Whoopidy Whip Wop! Fingers crossed that @BognorMotors will receive it to work their magic this week.

Out of interest. The V5 states 150kW. Does that mean it is a 204 or a 199?

150kW is the 204ps engine
