Quite an achievement. Clearly you’ve become an expert!
T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874
- Start date
Def agree about this forum. Have learned a lot about a van I don’t even have yet. Just need it to get delivered now, so I can start to apply the knowledge I’ve gained!
well guys, just looking out of the windows. I'm thinking..if my van was here I could be out on the drive in this beautiful sunshine freezing my bits off working on it. I know I would have a choice to stay in but the reality is I'd still be out there freezing my knackered 56yr old body putting the b14s on or adding the side bars...you know the sort of stuff you do sitting on minus 2 degrees block paving just for fun!
I’ve started collecting parts myself, there’s something quite satisfying about having a stack of boxes full of new parts.
I have just read this post and realised these are the reasons I never ordered a car prior to the getting my van. I have no patience and find waiting for updates on build and delivery times infuriating.
You pay a tonne of money to be treated like this is disgusting.

It seems thats pretty good by VW standards; I paid my deposit on 21st Sept and have only just heard an unconfirmed build date of week 15. I don't reckon I'll have it till week 20 so that'll have been 33 weeks; wouldn't mind if the dealer hadn't said 16 weeks, which had seemed pretty bad at the time!
That does seem good.
Re yours Rids, did you order a 200 by any chance? I heard that manufacture of those had been delayed. Something to do with new version of the engine
Ordered ours 10th sep,150dsg,told us early January delivery,just picked up today and it’s worth the wait on first impressions
very happy with it
very happy with it
Got any pics?
Very nice. Love the Ascot Grey
Cheers,
ordered this without seeing one so was quite nervous about pick up hoping I hadn’t made a huge mistake,looks even better in the flesh tbh
thinking of two toning it down the line but we will see
Yep, 33 weeks when quoted 16 is very harsh. Would not be impressed about that at all. Seems to be some wild variation in actual delivery times vs quoted lead time on occasions.
Encouraged by Dan’s delivery though as mine was ordered the day before on 9th September. 150 HL 6 speed. Hoping the fact it’s a white panel van with only 3 extras should mean it’s not too complicated an order and arrives this month/early Feb as expected.

A few vans ago I waited 9 months for a ford transit, In the end I cancelled and got my deposit back. They wouldn’t even confirm a delivery date or build date after 9 months. That’s a joke
