Hi Guys
I’ve seen VW dealers and others in the WAG group saying “thank you for you patients but the wait will be worth it” but of course there is that complete misunderstanding of the reasoning we as disabled persons or carer assistances need these particular cars.
I’m lucky in some respects as my disability does not change overall so the current car I’m driving is perfect for me but the trouble is my carer / wife like myself are getting older and her knees are starting to give out and lifting my scooter into the boot of the Golf has become a problem.
So for me its not just about the car, its about the adaptions too and while I was given a, wow, 6 months wait for the car this was taken into consideration in respect of the wife’s knee and we thought we could cope for another 6 months without a hoist in view of the warmer summer months where the weather is more kinder to ageing knees but then to find out while we approach the colder months to be told more or less the car should be here in the Spring of 2019 and another Winter to get through that was it.
I though you were getting a bit quieter on the forum Newfie and now I know why, its because your out and about in the new Tigger. I’m sure its a great motor and meets your needs so have loads of enjoyable journey in it.
Going back to the Touran, its odd that most of the other VW models have started to come through the system but the Touran in particular seems to be stuck in the doldrums and I was reading the other day that the Wolfsburg plant where the Touran is built is having the very same production line set up for the manufacture of a Seat model and its the first time in decades they have made other cars in the WAG group on a VW production line.
With that in mind its now clear, well to me it is putting two and two together that the hold ups with the Touran are not just to do with WLPT. The VW Touran with the 1.6 TDi engine has passed the test but has anyone seen a 68 plate one on the road ?
