I just called their info line and the representative, reading off a sheet, seemed to be telling me that because I purchased after September, 2015, the other half of my payment would not be payable until April, 2020. Which seems like BS. I have a Q5 purchased in January. The former owner did not file a claim. I received $750 in late July, shortly after having the qualification appointment, then nothing. Thanks in advance for replies or suggestions.
Is anyone with a gen 2 3.0 still waiting for half the Bosch money?

I'm still waiting on the final payment of $750 after completing the fix. Anyone else hear about this "not payable until April 2020"?
Has anyone received their final $750 payment?
I received this form letter:
My hunch is that the part about waiting until 2020 is only for cases where a dubious claim has been filed, and time is needed for it to clear the system. Nevertheless, I would hate to wait that long.

We purchased our 3.0 at the end of January just like you. The previous owner did file a claim. We have not received ANY money from Bosch at this point! I am concerned about the status of the $750 that we are owed. That is a lot of $.
Its been so long that I can't even remember if there was a registration process for the Bosch money. I remember that for the 2.0 car we had we did nothing and a check simply arrived in the mail. Does the 3.0 check work the same way?
I find it really odd that they are mailing out multiple $375 checks as well.

Participation in the VW Settlement automatically registered you in the Bosch Settlement. However, their records are such that the payments are all over the place. Some owners are getting all, some half, some none, and the reasons given by the representatives haven’t been consistently adhered too. What is more frustrating, the Bosch help team is not helpful. They won’t look up a VIN and give status, they only speak in generalities, even when you get hooked up with the supervisors.
Here’s my best *guess*: if you have gotten all monies owed, it is either because you had the fix done recently, or, are among the lucky ones. If you got half what you expect, hopefully you will get the other half shortly after getting the fix done. If you have gotten nothing so far, I would definitely call their help line and try to get to the supervisor level. Some cars seem to have been hit with bogus claims and the delay may be long (up to April, 2020) waiting for the bogus claim to be denied.

2 Gen II Touaregs for me this year.
Acquired 1st early this year, insurance totaled it after damage from a deer collision. I filed for and received VW emissions compensation. It took 3-4 months for the 1,500 from Bosch to arrive. Called Bosch several times during that interim: was told they cut checks based on a regular updates from VW on VINs to pay out on. I suspect VW sends those updates on a regular schedule; once a quarter? don’t really know for certain.
Purchased second Touareg 2months ago and other then registering I haven’t scheduled any appointment to get ththem cash.

I haven’t gotten any of the Bosch money and my car has been fixed. 2013 Q7 TDI. I submitted my claim in June.
Bosch had zero info for me when I asked when I’m getting paid. Zero commitment. Really don’t know who to go for to get any information at this point, the customer service line is completely worthless.

I called the Bosch # as well, similar response. They don’t know squat until your vin is on the latest list from VW.
I called the VW settlement # and raised hell “Bosch says my vin is not on latest list. I got VW cash 3months ago, when are you going to tell Bosch my vin is elgible for their payment?”
3-4 weeks later I got Bosch check. Could have been entirely coincidental but the phone call to VW cost me nothing, left them on speaker while I was working at my desk.

That stinks. I'll forget about it before I ever get the money.
