Do T6.1's come with the 199 or 204?

My understanding is that the 204 was replaced around MY2019 due to emissions control.
However, read some mutterings on the FB groups about newly ordered T6.1's still to be delivered being switched back to 204's.
Anyone know anything about this?
Is it a switch back, or has the 199 been developed to meet the emissions standards at 204's?
Or is it due to known issues with the 199?

I'm just curious really, but would equally like to know if something concerning has cropped up with the 199.
Thanks
 
I thought they were all the same engine with different emissions tweaks. It is widely acknowledged by VW that vans ordered now are coming with 204ps.
 
So they've gone 204 - 199 - 204.
Anyone have any technical info as to why?
Thanks
 
I dont think the 199 can have "known issues" as it really is just a mild detune to the 204 with an extra cat
 
I think some versions like the Caravelle and the California are now 204, but the panel vans have not made the change yet and are still 199. No idea what the thought process is though.
