T6.1 Sportline black edition - release date

[teenwolf]

Hi Teenwolf, I have a BE on order since May 2021, it's now in Wales so should be arriving soon (hopefully) when uou had the seat covers replaced did the dealer fit the replacement covers or did it go back to MSRT?

Hi, I had MSRT come to my house 5 times from wales to re-fit the replacement seats. They were replacement seat units because they are trimmed. MSRT do it all, I don’t think the dealers could do it unless they have a someone who is a trimmer. In the end I went to MSRT for 2 days to have them sorted. Hopefully they have sorted the issue with them. I’d definitely suggest covering them when you get it. They wear really quickly!

Thanks pal, it's been a total shit show with the lack of communication from the manufacturer to the dealer, for eg, the van has been in Wales for about 4 weeks and the Vw dealer still can't give me a delivery date, when I asked the dealer to contact MS-RT for an update, they told me they're not allowed to until it goes over 10 weeks, fook what the customer wants it appears, we're only spending the best part of £50k plus vat

They can contact MSRT, my dealer had good contact, it took mine 6 weeks to be finished in wales, that’s about average from what other people have waited. You getting a PV of Kombi?

I'm getting a Kombi, I'm still looking forward to getting it, I reckon it will turn up in the next 2 weeks, what's a another couple of weeks when it's 7 months late lol
It'll be interesting to see if I have the same problems with my van, or if VW/MSRT have sorted them out.

Fingers crossed that you won’t have any issues, I’d like to think they have sorted it. I’m glad VW have stepped in to sort mine… they are doing the paint so it should look really well finished fingers crossed. They are an amazing van… and the BE is just a bit more special. Let us know when it arrives

Are they replacing your bumper? I’m calling on Monday to get a van sorted, I was told I’d get a van but it did not happen.

Not sure

Had a phone call from my dealer yesterday. My LWB PV Sportline has got a status 10 with build week 37. September 12-18th ‘22
He said it was a bit further back but has been bought forward and it may come forward more as things are moving faster now.

I’ve just been offered a swb black edition kombi I’m tempted to make the Jump. How much was the black edition kombi new? As I don’t want my pants pulled down!

 

[BuilderJay]

Around the £45k mark plus vat

 

[colinsunbeam]

Also depending on what extras where added, but this was the prices a year ago.

 

[colinsunbeam]

My PV came to around £54k with extras, a lesser spec Sportline now is going to cost more with all the price increases.

 

[BuilderJay]

Need to know how old it is plus mileage plus is the rear spoiler coming off like the Sportline badge on the wings

You do need to check them over, but to be honest my only complaint so far is the front bumper colour match. Also I would only hand wash and keep away from the car washers.

Fingers crossed they honour the locked in price, I’ll see how you get on before I tread that road lol

No update from the dealers, i will give it a couple of weeks then chase for an update. My mate has just confirmed he will be getting his highline pv at the end of July, he ordered his back in February through southern motors over at tonbridge he is feeling pretty smug knowing he will have his before I get mine lol

Hopefully my BE kombi which is now at MSRT is only a matter of weeks away. Just wondering how everyone has got on with suspension ride height. Mainly how you get on with pot holes,speed humps and kerbs. Or is it best to leave it standard rather than lowered setting?

Mines as low as it goes , and on 20s , no issues at all , except the parking sensors on the front thinking you are going to hit things and slamming on the brakes . Switch them off and you are good to go !
