So, I had done my buyback with VW a few weeks ago. Now I received an email stating I will get another check from Bosch as part of their settlement and that I don't have to do a thing. If there is a thread already I must have missed it. Please redirect me if that is the case. If not, did anyone else get this email? How do they determine the settlement amount? How do I get that info?

Again, my apologies if this is already out there. I don't come to this forum regularly like I once did.

Paul.

Well shoot, the only Bosch-related emails I have are shipment notifications for tools and windshield wipers!

I've heard this additional portion of the settlement is in the pipeline, but I think all the info so far has been third-hand. Is the email directly from Bosch? Any specifics?

I'd read that thread but didn't regard the email as "official notice" even though it was from a class attorney, I guess because I thought it was in response to other communication. Is that the official notice to entire class? I definitely didn't receive it, not even in spam. Still feels kind of like third hand info but I'll roll with it.

Edit: I visited boschvwsettlement.com and it's still awaiting final approval, but that's official enough. Here's the postcard they'll mail: https://boschvwsettlement.com/Content/Documents/2L Postcard Notice.pdf but it looks like we're awaiting a May 11th final approval hearing. I wonder if I can work a trade for wholesale pricing on a new table saw?

;)Haven't gotten the e-mail yet, but I am curious what happens to those of us who already did our buyback; do we now have to check "I used to own" and get partial, or do we check "I currently own" despite turning the car in...? :D

If you filed or choose to file a claim in the VW Settlements, you do not need to file a claim in the Bosch Settlement. If your VW Settlement claim is approved, you will automatically receive a check in the mail from the Bosch Settlement.

Prob wont see any checks until FALL 2017, if that. Could be later.

It could get complicated for people who have moved since they completed the VW end of things.

Yeah, likely need to contact the boschvwsettlement group and notify them of the change.

Nice. I'll take it. The truck is thirsty, lol.

If you move...you'll get the check as long as you forward your mail (go to usps.com). Just keep an eye on your email. USPS will email when you mail forwarding stops.

Whereas the car's buyback value was derived from something tangible, I don't know how to interpret the Bosch value.

Frankly, I'm not sure Bosch owes me a thing because they were acting as a contractor to VW. But I also suspect by 2015 (my model year Passat), Bosch knew what VW was up to and was a willing participant.

So... why is the Bosch software loaded into my ECU worth $350, vs Audi's Bosch software at $1500? Is it based on Bosch profit from these respective lines? Some sort of average vehicle value? Excess pollution created? Does someone know?

What about for those of us that have already had their claims completed and closed? I ask because I did not receive this email. I turned my car in on January 14th and my claim record shows as closed.

If you were approved for the VW TDI claim, you're automatically participating in the Bosch settlement. That's regardless of whether you received an email. But there's a "fairness hearing" scheduled for May 11th, and after that who knows what, so don't expect anything until summer.

I sold back my car in early December, and I got the Bosch e-mail.

I turned my Jetta in to VW in November. Got the email today.

I would ask stupid questions about the email (that actually answers those same questions) but that's just me being pissy

It looks like those who have already turned the car in only get $175.

An Eligible Owner of an Eligible Vehicle in the VW 2.0-liter Settlement will receive $350 in the Bosch Settlement, except that if an Eligible Seller has identified himself or herself and filed an approved claim for the Eligible Vehicle, or if an Eligible Lessee has identified himself or herself and filed an approved claim for the Eligible Vehicle, the Eligible Owner will receive $175.
An Eligible Seller in the VW 2.0-liter Settlement who has identified himself or herself and filed an approved claim will receive $175 in the Bosch Settlement.
An Eligible Lessee in the VW 2.0-liter Settlement will receive $200 in the Bosch Settlement.
An Eligible Owner of an Eligible Vehicle in the 3.0-liter Settlement will receive $1,500 in the Bosch Settlement unless:
An Eligible Former Owner has identified himself or herself and filed an approved claim for the Eligible Vehicle in the VW 3.0-liter Settlement, in which case the $1,500 payment will be split equally ($750 each) between the Eligible Former Owner and the Eligible Owner.
An Eligible Former Lessee has identified himself or herself and filed an approved claim for the Eligible Vehicle in the VW 3.0-liter Settlement, in which case the Eligible Owner will receive $750 in the Bosch Settlement.
Two Eligible Former Owners have identified themselves and filed approved claims for the Eligible Vehicle in the 3.0-liter Settlement, in which case the $1,500 will be split among the Eligible Owner and the two Eligible Former Owners, with $750 going to the Eligible Owner and $375 each to the two Eligible Former Owners.
