Hi guys. I changed my order from a 1.5 DCI tekna to a 1.6 DCI tekna and my delivery date changed from Sep 14 to Nov 14. Do any of you know why that is? I know the CVT orders are having order problems but didn't realise the 1.6 was an issue.

Regards
Dean

I wonder if they have done a new order and put you back to the end of the list. It might meant that someone who ordered a 1.5 might have a pleasant surprise.

[quote="Deanotabsy"]It was only 3 days in between first order and the change :([/QUOTE]But it's not the same car though, is it? And all the other 1.6 Tekna's will have been allocated, as someone else said you've probably made someone else happy!

Same car different engine. I understand that, but which type of engine has been allocated should be irrelevant. 1 list for 1.5 and another list for 1.6 seems daft to me.

There's probably a special bolt or piece of plastic in the 1.6 engine that is on back-order.

Actually I am amazed that you have a delivery date at all. Mine was ordered in April and still showing back-order.

Fair one. Odd how it all works and how peoples order date differ so widely. Never mind, when it arrives I will be a very happy bunny. Until then I can just look forward to receiving a great car.

All the best to all the other QQ people out there and I hope the rest get theirs soon.

Certainly well worth the wait, it's a great car.

They don't build the cars to order as they come in, that would end up causing all sorts of issues! They will batch up the orders and do them in 1 run. So it maybe 1.2 DIG-T's Tekna this week, where as next week (or what ever) could be 1.5 Dev Tekna's and so on. So this is why your date has changed. You will be getting a "different" car compared to your last order as such and the build date for the model/colour/engine will be different to that of the previous order.
